Alta Mira is built for those who need deep, lasting change. They specialize in treating the whole person, untangling complex addictions alongside the mental health struggles that drive them. Whether someone is starting with their medically supervised 10-day detox or diving into residential care, the focus is on the individual.

Clear the Path to a Better Future

The name Alta Mira means "higher view," and that’s exactly what their treatment approach is designed to give clients. They don't just look at the surface of addiction; they dive deep into treating the whole person, including the mental health struggles that go hand-in-hand with substance use. Their clinical team and historic setting combine to create a space where clients can start looking forward to a better future.

Let the World Slow Down at Alta Mira

Set on the Sausalito hillside, this historic mansion offers an escape from the city’s noise. Between private, pet-friendly suites and views of the harbor, clients find the mental distance needed to heal. The experience is holistic, blending yoga and acupuncture with somatic therapies and outdoor adventures like kayaking. Even the food is intentional, with chefs preparing nutrient-dense meals to repair neurochemistry.

Sharpen the Tools Needed for the Real World

The real test often begins the moment someone heads home, so Alta Mira offers a lifelong support system. They provide weekly groups and tune-up workshops that offer consistent accountability. Beyond those meetings, they provide sober companions and coaches to walk beside clients during the first few weeks at home. And they keep the family program open, so loved ones have a place to go to smooth things out.

Testimonial
When I came to Alta Mira, I was broken, people described me as fragile and silent. At the end of treatment I have found my self-confidence and my voice, in a way I never could have imagined for myself. I truly believe this place is magical, I could never have done this alone.

Addiction impacts the whole family, so Alta Mira invites everyone in to heal the damage together. Their 3-day program helps families move past shame and resentment by explaining the science behind addiction. By learning to communicate and set healthy boundaries, loved ones can start becoming a solid support system.
Keep a Dog Close while Healing
Keep a Dog Close while Healing
Alta Mira understands that a pet often provides comfort when life feels messy, so they let approved pets stay in private suites. Having that familiar presence reduces stress levels throughout the addiction treatment process, as well as increases exercise, which benefits mental well-being.

An important part of recovery at Alta Mira includes learning how to have fun without being under the influence. While in treatment, clients might hike Mt. Tam, sail the Bay, horseback ride through the Headlands, or zipline through the Redwoods. They even get opportunities to kayak, rock climb, and explore Muir Woods.
