Neuropsychological Testing & Assessment
If you struggle with addiction, you may have underlying issues that can complicate your attempts at recovery. At Alta Mira, our Neuropsychological Assessment Team delivers a full spectrum of psychological, personality, cognitive, and specialized diagnostic tests. Along with our highly sophisticated clinical assessments, these tests help us to properly diagnose the issues that fuel your addiction, allowing us to create a long-term care plan that is customized for your individual recovery needs and goals.
Holistic Services & Experiential Therapy
Our therapeutic amenities and activities are designed to enhance and deepen your recovery work, encouraging you to reconnect with your body, care for your spirit, and reignite your sense of adventure. We offer experiential therapeutic outings including (but not limited to) equine-assisted therapy, tandem kayaking on the bay, zip lining in beautiful Sonoma County, mindfulness in nature sessions, excursions through Muir Woods, various activities in San Francisco, and customized individual outings once certain program milestones are reached.
We believe that healing involves many different treatment approaches, and that self-care and compassion are crucial elements for a healthy recovery program. All clients have access to weekly acupuncture or massage, guided meditation, personal training sessions, and sound baths to help rejuvenate the mind, body and soul.
Intensive Workshops
Our series of transformative three-day workshops (available to clients staying more than 30 days) provide you with the opportunity to look closely at specialty topics such as Grief and Loss, Vulnerability, Shame and Resilience (Rising Strong, based on the work of Brene Brown), Spirituality (Conscious Recovery), and Healing from Trauma in a safe and supportive environment. For all clients, regardless of length of stay, we provide a monthly three-day Family Program, guest lectures on the Neurobiology of Addiction, Nutrition in Recovery and how to improve and maintain the best relationships of your life.
Recovery Support Options
Research and experience clearly show that peer support is a crucial element of long-term recovery. There are many paths to recovery, and we do not promote one over another. The best path for the individual is the one that speaks to and works for them. We discuss and expose clients to both 12-step and alternative fellowship support such as Recovery Dharma and SMART Recovery. Daily fellowship meetings, both on and off-campus, are provided to expose clients to different options with an emphasis on “finding your people.” One of the most important elements to any fellowship support is the support of those with whom you identify and connect. There are common threads through multiple different types of fellowship and while 12-step meetings are generally the most widely available, they may not be for everyone. The goal is to find what works and to carry that forward into life after discharge.
