Alta Mira Recovery is located in Sausalito, California, fifteen minutes across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco and within an hour of the entire Silicon Valley corridor.
For adults facing complex substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, this is a program designed for cases that require more than a standard approach.
Sausalito is a quiet waterfront town on the northern edge of the Bay, set apart from the pace of Silicon Valley while remaining easily accessible from San Jose, Palo Alto, the Peninsula, and San Francisco. Alta Mira’s campus occupies a private historic estate, a 1927 boutique hotel, that offers the separation residential treatment requires without putting clients far from home.
For individuals and families coming from the South Bay, the Peninsula, or the East Bay, the drive is straightforward. For those traveling from out of state or internationally, San Francisco International Airport is approximately 30 minutes away, and San Jose International Airport is within 45 minutes.
Alta Mira serves patients from across the United States and internationally. For those traveling from outside the Bay Area, arrival is straightforward:
Choosing to begin treatment is a courageous step toward transformation. Our caring team provides the structure, expertise, and compassion needed to help you or your loved one reclaim a healthy and meaningful life.
A medically supervised detox combined with a comprehensive psychological and medical evaluation. Designed for individuals entering treatment for the first time, returning after relapse, or seeking diagnostic clarity before committing to residential care. Length is flexible based on clinical need.
Full-time immersive treatment with 24/7 clinical support. Individual therapy, group therapy, family sessions, and structured therapeutic programming are built around each patient’s treatment plan. Length of stay is individualized and determined collaboratively with the clinical team.
Post-discharge support through Alta Mira’s alumni network, ongoing therapy, and support groups are designed to sustain recovery after residential treatment ends.
Alta Mira treats substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health conditions within a single integrated treatment plan, because addressing both simultaneously produces better outcomes than treating either in isolation.
Silicon Valley produces some of the highest-performing, highest-pressure professional environments in the world.
Alta Mira regularly works with founders, executives, engineers, physicians, attorneys, and other professionals for whom the stakes of seeking treatment feel particularly high — and for whom standard programs are rarely the right fit.
The Bay Area and Silicon Valley are home to a significant population of young adults navigating the intersection of high achievement, early career pressure, and substance use.
Alta Mira’s clinical team understands this population’s specific stressors and treats the full picture, not just the presenting substance use.
LGBTQ+ individuals face elevated rates of both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, often connected to experiences of discrimination, trauma, family rejection, and chronic stress.
Alta Mira provides a respectful, affirming environment where LGBTQ+ clients can engage fully in treatment without additional barriers.
The circumstances active-duty military personnel and their families face are distinct — deployment stress, combat exposure, operational culture — and they shape how addiction and mental health conditions develop.
Alta Mira’s clinical team has direct experience working with this population and approaches treatment accordingly. Alta Mira is in-network with TriWest.

“I imagine a man drowning in the ocean, who just before going under for the last time sees a ship sailing towards him. There is nothing like the return of hope to a person who had lost theirs.”
