Alta Mira Treatment Programs offers internationally recognized, private, world-class centers in resort settings for life recovery and self-discovery. We offer eight individual sanctuaries for a life changing experience of compassion, transformation, freedom and inner peace. We provide our clients a high view of recovery, balance, and nourishment to reclaim their inherent natural healing qualities.“I believe the 12 steps are spiritual principles for living. Nothing that I know of provides better spiritual guidelines for anyone to live by and nothing provides the kind of support that is found in AA. But it is primarily a spiritual program. It does not address, nor does it try to address, the physiological aspect of recovery. Nor do most treatment programs that are 12 Step based. Maybe I should just say neither do most treatment programs. That is why programs like Alta Mira that integrate physiological recovery (especially in the form of nutritional therapy) into a program that provides spiritual, social, behavioral, and psychological guidelines are so needed and fill a gap that we have been missing in recovery programs.”

Her most recent book written with David Miller is Staying Clean and Sober: Complementary and Natural Strategies for Healing the Addicted Brain.
Alta Mira's Healing Programs are personalized to each individual's needs. Whether you are dealing with some form of chemical dependency, eating disorder, or trauma, our dynamic program and professional staff meet each resident where they are emotionally, spiritually, and at the stage of their healing process.
Alta Mira is based on a healing-team philosophy. By bringing together a uniquely diverse, creative team of experienced professionals, Alta Mira offers a broad array of choices, unique therapeutic experiences and traditional therapies to support healing, personal awareness and life transformation. Rather than telling our clients how they must live, we, instead, support their right to choose a path that will serve them as they move forward into their new life. By balancing physical, intellectual, medical, nutritional, spiritual, and emotional wellbeing, each client will have the opportunity for true self-awareness, thanks to our alternative addiction treatment. This self-awareness allows them the ability to see themselves and their relationships from a new and clear perspective. By taking personal responsibility for their choices, clients learn to free themselves from the self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors caused by habits and patterns that have underserved them in the past.
You are invited to reconnect with the joy and passion that is your true nature. In the midst of the challenges that our personal journeys can bring, we, at Alta Mira, offer healing from highly trained professionals who guide you with wisdom, compassion and respect from the shadows of false beliefs and judgments into the light of freedom.
We are here to show you the substance of what you really are - a uniquely authentic, joyous human being. For more information contact us at 866.922.1350
ALTA MIRA
Alta Mira was the private residence of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jackson and was converted into a hotel in 1895. On December 23, 1926, the hotel succumbed to a devastating fire. Jackson's son, Ernest, rebuilt Alta Mira as a Spanish-style villa and it quickly became a popular hotel and favorite destination for creativity and leisure. Authors Sterling Hayden, Jack London and Charles Nordhoff resided in the cottages while writing their books. The property continued as a residential hotel until the mid-1950s when the mansion was converted to luxury suites with fireplaces and balconies. Finally, in 2003, it was purchased and is now the esteemed location of the world-class Alta Mira Treatment Programs.SAUSALITO
Sausalito, like a mythical Mediterranean village, cascades down a sheltered hillside overlooking San Francisco from its sailboat-dotted bay. Sound romantic? Well, it is. Named for the little willows that grow there, Sausalito has a rich history of inhabitants who have an ongoing love affair with this corner of nature. The mild microclimate and legendary charm is a healing mecca, a refuge of peace and tranquility from the outside world.
