Alta Mira Recovery is located minutes from Mill Valley, California, nestled in the heart of Marin County, and offers one of the most clinically sophisticated residential addiction treatment programs in the country.
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.
Mill Valley sits at the base of Mount Tamalpais in central Marin County — a community known for its redwood-lined streets, outdoor culture, and the kind of unhurried pace that the rest of the Bay Area rarely affords.
Alta Mira’s campus is located just minutes away in neighboring Sausalito, a private historic estate set apart from daily life while remaining well within reach of Mill Valley and the broader Marin County community.
The natural environment of this corner of Marin County is itself a therapeutic asset. The proximity to Mount Tamalpais, the bay shoreline, and the surrounding quiet hills creates the conditions that residential recovery requires.
For individuals and families from Mill Valley, Corte Madera, Larkspur, or anywhere in central Marin County, the proximity makes logistics straightforward.
For those traveling from out of state or internationally, San Francisco International Airport is approximately 55 minutes away, and the admissions team can coordinate ground transportation upon request.
Alta Mira serves patients from across the United States and internationally. For those traveling from outside the Bay Area:
