Alta Mira Recovery is located in Sausalito, California, fifteen minutes across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, 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.
Sausalito is a quiet waterfront town on the Marin County shoreline, directly across the bay from San Francisco. Alta Mira’s campus occupies a private historic estate — a 1927 boutique hotel — set apart from the pace of city life while remaining easily accessible from the Bay Area.
The location itself is part of what makes treatment here different. Sausalito offers the calm, separation, and natural beauty that residential recovery requires, without putting patients far from the people and places that matter to them.
For individuals and families from San Francisco, Marin County, or the East Bay, the proximity simplifies logistics. For those traveling from out of state or internationally, San Francisco International Airport is approximately 40 minutes away, and Oakland International Airport is within an hour.
Alta Mira Recovery serves patients from across the United States and internationally. For those traveling from outside the Bay Area, arrival is straightforward:
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 regularly works with executives, physicians, attorneys, pilots, and other professionals for whom the stakes of seeking treatment feel particularly high.
Privacy, discretion, and clinical rigor are built into how the program operates. Our setting, our team, and our approach are designed for individuals who require both.
The circumstances active-duty military personnel and their families face are distinct such as deployment stress, combat exposure, and operational culture.

LGBTQ+ individuals face elevated rates of both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, often connected to discrimination and trauma.
Alta Mira provides a respectful, affirming environment where LGBTQ+ clients can engage fully in treatment without additional barriers.
The Bay Area is 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.
Alta Mira Recovery is located in Sausalito, California, on a private historic estate in the heart of Marin County. The campus is 15 minutes across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco and accessible from the broader Bay Area by car or ferry.
Alta Mira offers a level of clinical depth that most Bay Area facilities lack. Every patient receives comprehensive psychological testing at intake, a full medical evaluation, and a personalized treatment plan — including complex dual-diagnosis cases. The setting, staffing model, and clinical team are designed for cases that require more than a standard residential program can provide.
