Offering a World-Class Addiction Treatment Program

At Alta Mira Recovery Programs, “world-class” is more than a phrase—it’s our standard. As part of the top 1% of clinical residential addiction treatment programs, our team of expert psychiatrists, psychologists, and and doctorate-level clinicians work alongside compassionate nurses to evaluate both physical and mental health, uncovering undiagnosed issues that impact recovery and return to use patterns.

 

We are dedicated to assisting clients and families with diverse needs and requests for care, including those who are seeking detoxification and initial assessment services separately from our minimum 30-day program. This 10-day service is individually tailored to each client and includes the following:

 

  • Medically supported and monitored detoxification outside of a hospital setting.
  • 24/7 access to onsite nursing and close management by an addiction medicine specialist
  • Determination about which level of care may be an appropriate match for the needs of the client (such as outpatient services or residential treatment).
  • Clarity about diagnosis to include both substance use and other mental health disorders, including:
    • Depression
    • Anxiety
    • Psychosis
    • Personality issues
    • Bipolar disorder
    • Traumatic stress
    • And more…
  • Resources and referrals to reputable programs and providers based on individual needs and preferences.
  •  

 

Individuals interested in our 10-day detoxification and assessment services will receive a core set of offerings with the remainder determined based on client interest and clinical recommendations. In certain cases, clients may decide to extend their 10-day time frame to accomplish specific goals. The number of additional days will be determined in collaboration with our medical and clinical teams.

Paying for Detox: Insurance and Payment Options

Finding the best care can be overwhelming for clients and families, especially with the complexities of insurance reimbursement. At our private pay facility, we provide programs and services that often exceed standard insurance coverage.

 

We’re here to help you maximize insurance reimbursement for all eligible services. We work with commercially funded plans from employers, individual policies, and healthcare exchange plans. We offer a free verification of benefits to assess potential reimbursement toward treatment costs.

 

Please note that government-issued insurance, such as Medicare, Medicaid, Medi-Cal, and Tricare (Except TriWest), does not cover treatment at our facility.

World-Class Medical Detox and Clinical Assessments

e or abuse of alcohol and other drugs can cause changes in the brain chemistry, affecting the way our brains process feelings and emotions. When the alcohol or drugs are taken away, there can be a period of cravings and withdrawal which can be uncomfortable and potentially dangerous if not monitored. Our goal is to keep you safe, secure and as comfortable as possible during medically supervised detox, an experience that can be painful and dangerous in the absence of medical supervision.

 

All clients receive a comprehensive assessment upon admission, a history and physical within 24 hours, and a psychiatric evaluation within 48 hours. Our detox specialists will work together to develop an individualized detox protocol for you and are available 24/7 to make sure you are safe. All clients meet with our consulting addiction medicine physician, nurse practitioner, and addiction psychiatrist upon admission and weekly thereafter.

 

Our exceptional staff will identify the most effective medication to manage pain and stress as you transition off of substances. We strive to provide a safe and comfortable detox experience for all clients, helping to make sure you are eating healthy food, sleeping well, and getting both the rest and exercise you need to begin your recovery journey. Your private detox room is designed for relaxation, serenity, and luxury, many with beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay.
