Alta Mira Recovery Center LLC

Luxurious and Tranquil Setting

Alta Mira Recovery Center offers shared and private accommodations in a peaceful, scenic environment ideal for recovery. Residents in the historic building enjoy panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay as they focus on their recovery in a serene atmosphere free from distractions.

Holistic Dual-Diagnosis Treatment

While providing treatment for a range of substance use disorders, Alta Mira also treats co-occurring mental health disorders. The center employs a combination of evidence-based therapies — such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) — alongside holistic practices like yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and massage therapy. This integrated approach addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of recovery, helping patients rebuild their overall well-being.

Experiential and Adventure Therapy

In addition to traditional therapies, Alta Mira offers experiential therapies, including adventure therapy. Clients have the opportunity to engage in outdoor activities such as hiking and kayaking, which foster self-confidence, personal insight, and healing by providing new ways for individuals to process emotions.

Strong Alumni and Aftercare Support

Alta Mira places a strong emphasis on long-term recovery, providing comprehensive aftercare and alumni support. The center offers alumni weekly relapse prevention meetings as well as quarterly events to help clients maintain sobriety and stay connected to the recovery community. Complementing these services are the facility’s family program and its alumni coordinator, who provides regular check-ins.

Patient Feedback

Patient feedback about Alta Mira is largely positive, with many clients praising the compassionate staff, high-quality care, and beautiful, calming environment. Patients highlight the holistic therapies and adventure therapy as particularly effective in supporting recovery. They also appreciate the strong alumni program and the ongoing support it provides. However, some express concerns about the facility’s high cost, with the daily out-of-pocket rates ranging from $2,483.33 for a shared room to $3,650 for a private room. Further, a few have mentioned concerns about billing transparency and staff professionalism. Nonetheless, most clients report transformative experiences and lasting growth in their recovery journey.
