We Can Help

Hear CEO William Morrison describe the Alta Mira Promise.

If you’re moving toward addiction or struggling in the depths of it; if you’ve gone through treatment at another facility and now find yourself losing traction; if you’re caught in a seemingly endless loop of recovery and relapse … take heart.

Ahead: Hope, Challenge, Triumph.

  • There’s a better way

    We’re presenting an alternative to a life ruled by addiction. With this new life comes the ability to feel joy and excitement, as well as the capacity to overcome hardship. This path offers stronger relationships, healthier families, deeper spiritual connections and a fuller sense of self. And, most likely, a longer life.

  • Your recovery is our commitment

    Addiction is not a moral failing, nor is it an indication of weak will—it is a disease with psychological and physiological roots. Our staff of psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists will work with you to locate the source of the problem, as well as any aggravating factors, and create a tailored treatment plan that will set in motion your lifelong recovery.

  • Experience true health

    Alta Mira’s treatment protocol involves more than expert clinical care. We take a holistic approach to the healing process and engage your mind, body and soul by blending traditional medicine with non-traditional disciplines, such as yoga, tai chi, spiritual counseling, equine assisted therapy and acupuncture. And because new experiences can be transformative, we offer cooking for recovery classes, music and art therapy, sober fun activities, and adventure therapy, to name a few.

  • Start your recovery today

    The moment you step onto the Alta Mira property you will feel an incredible healing energy and a sense of peace and tranquility. Our unique and comprehensive treatment program can help you regain your footing, find your own individual path to recovery, repair relationships and live a productive, happy life.

  • A unique clinical model

    In addition to providing optimal conditions for healing and rejuvenation, we will equip you with the tools and training to you need to stay sober when you return to your day-to-day life. We have developed unique clinical model that is codified in our client workbook, The Alta Mira Way, that moves clients through various stages of recovery and prepares them for long-term sobriety.  As a result, you will leave Alta Mira with greater confidence and a wealth of new resources to draw from.

Core services included

Alta Mira’s recovery programs include the following core services to create the best possible recovery path for you:

  • Individual Therapy

    We offer clients a minimum of three individual therapy sessions every week. These intensive sessions drive the healing process and expedite a full, lasting recovery. Our staff of licensed therapists, all of whom possess a master’s degree or higher, is accessible seven days a week.

  • Process Groups

    At Alta Mira, we’ve seen firsthand what countless clinical studies have proven: group therapy helps individuals recover hope, solve problems and grow.  We conduct daily process groups that provide a safe forum for clients to share their experiences and find inspiration by watching their peers overcome similar problems.

  • Family Program

    We understand how crucial it is to have the client’s loved ones be able to contribute and participate in the recovery process, and we work very hard to balance the client’s right to privacy and confidentiality with the clinical value of developing a true sober support system.

  • Holistic Services

    Alta Mira offers a variety of services that promote health and healing for the body, mind and soul, including: massage; acupuncture; personal training; yoga and tai chi; spiritual counseling; art and equine-assisted therapy; Native American sweat lodge ceremonies; cooking for recovery classes; and pet therapy, to name a few.

  • Lifetime Continuing Care

    Each client at Alta Mira will leave with a comprehensive discharge and relapse prevention plan as well as access to lifetime aftercare services. Included in the price of our programs are two-day revisits, or treatment “tune-ups,” for three years following the successful conclusion of treatment.

  • Pet Program

    We understand that many people have a special bond with their pets, and the idea of leaving their animal home while they come to treatment presents a difficult dilemma. Under certain circumstances, Alta Mira may allow clients to bring a pet to treatment.
