Located in the hills of Marin County near San Francisco, compassionate, client-centered care is at the heart of everything they do. Live Oaks specializes in treating substance use disorders, helping individuals break free from the grip of drugs and alcohol with deep understanding and support. Offering medically-assisted detox and residential treatment, their small, intimate setting allows each person to receive focused, one-on-one attention.

Experience Healing that Goes beyond Talk

Live Oaks focuses on truly understanding each client—meeting them where they are and supporting every part of their well-being: mind, body, and spirit. Their programs combine medically-assisted detox with evidence-based therapies to address the underlying patterns of addiction. Somatic therapy, yoga, personal fitness, art therapy, and equine therapy work together with traditional therapies to help clients reconnect with their bodies and safely process deep-seated emotions. And clients don’t just sit in talk therapy—they move, breathe, and experience healing in tangible ways.

Settle into Comfort that Heals

Comfort is a key part of the healing process at Live Oaks Wellness. With just 6 beds, the space feels warm and intimate, and truly personal. Each person has their own private room with cozy touches that help them feel at home. The on-site chef prepares delicious meals that support body and mind, while yoga and personal fitness offer moments of rejuvenation.

Let Go of What the Body’s Been Holding
Let Go of What the Body’s Been Holding
Bodies hold onto tension, stress, and trauma in ways that people don’t realize. That’s where somatic therapy comes in. Live Oaks Wellness helps people reconnect with their bodies to release what’s been stuck for far too long. Through techniques like breathwork, gentle movement, and paying attention to how the body feels, clients start to feel lighter and more in control.
Break Free from Trauma’s Grip with Gentle Support
Break Free from Trauma’s Grip with Gentle Support
Trauma-informed care means meeting each person with safety and understanding. And since addiction and mental health often have roots in past trauma, the team creates a supportive space where clients can heal without fear of judgment. Through every therapy and technique used at Live Oaks, clients are gently guided to uncover and heal what’s beneath the surface.
Soak in the Calm of the Bay Area
Soak in the Calm of the Bay Area
Located in the scenic Bay Area, Live Oaks is a place for clients to recharge and feel at ease. The 6,300 sq ft home is designed for comfort, with private bedrooms where clients can unwind, watch their favorite shows, and step out onto a deck that overlooks nature-filled views. The home also features a beautiful garden, a relaxing on-site pool, and even a designated smoking area.
Experience a Day Designed for True Healing
Experience a Day Designed for True Healing
Mornings begin with meditation and exercise, followed by a delicious chef-prepared breakfast. Clients spend the day engaged in a mix of 1-on-1 sessions, supportive group therapy, and hands-on experiences like somatic and art therapy. There are also opportunities to step outside the traditional setting with equine therapy. And throughout the day, there’s plenty of time for relaxation.
