They still stay in touch w/ friends they made at SK, still attend meetings w/ SK friends and still talk about the delicious food. SK also worked w/ them on finding their really positive sober living house. Thank you from our whole family.

San Rafael, CA | Bayside Marin Treatment Center is an addiction treatment center that offers drug and alcohol misuse recovery services to individuals living in the San Rafael, California, area. They have plenty to offer with a ton of therapy services and multiple levels of care, including detox services, residential treatment, outpatient programs (OP) and aftercare | Treatments Programs Payment Options | Mine is no fake ad. Bayside Marin has many Veterans, Cops and Firemen as patients. Perhaps the disaffected reviewers found it difficult to accept the presence of soldiers and cops. Some of the younger patients had spotty health plans---that could cause anxiety. Yet I've never read so many accusations backed with so little evidence...... This was my first detox. It took me another year to quit. Bayside is posh with nice architecture, furniture, computers, view and food. A kind and caring staff of pros. I never felt discounted or dismissed. Our group was supervised by a nice Argentine nurse....An eight day detox. I should have been placed with the old cops, firemen and SF union folk. But as always, I was placed with the youth. 80% of us were veterans. I admire the young veterans, but I had little in common with them. Yet it was the first time in my life I got to hang with soldiers and Vets. I have unending gratitude toward Bayside for their treatment and to the VA for sending a wretch like me to find a cure.

Bayside Marin is an excellent treatment center, I'd rate it #2 in northern California.
At first, I didn't want to go here, mainly because of negative reviews and hearsay from an acquaintance, and corporate ownership.
But I quickly changed my mind. I came here devestated by a very traumatic year of my life, in as much of a mental health crisis as I was in a substance one. Throughout the length of my stay, I was treated with understanding, patience and compassion.
The bulk of their program is cookie cutter evidence based, but high quality.
The employees at Bayside really care about their work, and their clients, and because of this it didn't have a corporate feel, even though they're owned by Acadia.
What made this stay extra special for me was the therapy and one on one conversations I had with staff. I had the honor and privilege of working with the best therapist I've ever seen. When there's a true match with therapy it can be magical, spiritual. I have transformed into a better version of myself because of the one on one work with my therapist, whose intelligence, wit, patience, and compassion helped me to rise above and shine, despite facing some extremely challenging triggers in residential this time. When you can't fully care about yourself, sometimes you can borrow someone else's faith in you until you're able to care about yourself a little more. By the end of my stay, I felt more confident and centered than I had in a long time.
I also wanted to say, the tech supervisor helped guide me psychologically and spiritually as I faced various challenges at Bayside, and helped revive my interest in spirituality, meditation and awakening.
I had the best spiritual and psychological support I could have asked for, which I thought would be impossible after being at Olympia House in 2022. (Both are good rehabs with their unique strengths and weaknesses. I learned a lot at both, but they're not directly comparable, OH is a little more unique in terms of approach and programming. Bayside was extra meaningful because of the particular therapist I worked with, the behavioral technician supervisor I mentioned and the particular clients I bonded with.
They actually listen to client feedback and I watched them make numerous improvements over the three months I was there.
With that said, there is room for further improvement. Clients are shuffled over to the main campus from detox with very little explanation of where to go and when, which leaves freshly detoxed clients confused, angry, and feeling disrespected. I've been told they're working on fixing this problem.
Scheduling glitches do happen, but that's true of any medium or large rehab. They do their best. And also, sometimes communication can be a little complicated between departments. No place is perfect.
Gorgeous campus. Food was great. I was told this was a rehab for rich people who valued aesthetics over content, but that's not what I found here. They have some incredible talent working for them and client socioeconomic backgrounds are mixed.
2026 update: I've had to return to Bayside and things have only gotten better, taking my review from 4 stars to 5. A lot of mediocre therapists have left, replaced by excellent ones, and they have made subtle but noticable improvements to the programming. I'm SO grateful for Bayside Marin, one of the finest treatment centers in northern California and perhaps the country.
Last. I would encourage people, strongly, to ask to change their therapist if the initial assignment isn't a match. I did, and it made all the difference in my stay.

Novato, CA | Reflections Executive Rehab Facility is a drug and alcohol rehab located in Novato, CA. They provide residential addiction treatment. Reflections Executive Dual Diagnosis Rehab in Novato, California, is a treatment center that specializes in providing customized dual diagnosis treatment. They’re staffed with a team of therapists, healthcare pract | Treatments Programs Payment Options | I'm writing this review as a family member (not a patient) but I have only positive things to say about my entire experience with Reflections.
Several months ago, my brother was in a very dangerous place in his life. It got to the point where we feared for his life on a weekly basis and knew we had to do something urgently. Our family staged an intervention and successfully got my brother to agree to inpatient treatment. After extensive research, I found that Reflections was our best option, and I believe choosing Reflections is a decision that may have saved his life.
From the very first phone call I had with program director Olejan, I felt a level of genuine care, intelligence, nuance, and humanity that Olejan brought to our conversations. He wasn't trying to sell us the program or anything like that. We had heart-to-heart conversations that made me feel like Reflections would be our partner in my brother's recovery.
I felt confident in the credentialed clinical team they have there with Dr. Hanna, and reassured that the level of care my brother would receive would be top-notch, with more one-to-one therapeutic care than what most inpatient treatment centers could offer in Los Angeles. My brother's main therapist at Reflections was Stewart Bryant, and they formed an amazing relationship that my brother cherished during his stay.
Week by week I would check in with my brother while he was at Reflections, and just hearing him progressively become more clear-headed, alert, deeply reflecting, emotionally available and vulnerable and willing to speak about everything, working through foundational issues in his life, being more optimistic and committed to his sobriety - it was so profoundly encouraging to see the signs of his work at Reflections really taking root.
To any family member reading this while desperately searching for the right place for someone you love: Reflections was an amazing option and I highly recommend you reach out and speak to Olejan who will wholeheartedly address any concerns you may have about Reflections being a good match for your family member in need of treatment.
Thank you to the entire Reflections staff for giving my brother high-quality treatment. I am forever thankful to them for being that pivotal first step in my brother's road to full recovery!

Literally saved my life and my marriage! After multiple behavior boot camp style programs, the incredible credentialed clinical staff helped my husband dig deep into the causes of his intense anxiety and control issues affecting our marriage particularly when he was self medicating to escape from the pain. We are so grateful to everyone at Reflections from the executive team to the support staff, each of them delivering compassionate and skilled guidance from intensive and individualized therapies to navigating the maze of insurance. Their inclusive family program literally got us working as a team once more.

My family member had an excellent experience here. From the helpfulness and warmth of the Executive Director, who made the transition from detox to rehab seamless, to the drug and alcohol and mental health counseling by two top-notch professionals, this program was intense, positive, and effective. The environment was safe and welcoming because of the trained, warm, and supportive staff. Almost everyone there was in recovery so they walked the walk. The accommodations were beautiful and peaceful, and the food was amazing and plentiful. Evening AA and NA meetings were available to clients who chose to attend. The staff helped to facilitate hard-to-navigate responsibilities, such as going to doctor's appointments and the California disability office. Most of all, my family member left with a new lease on life, deep friendships, and great hope for a sober future. I highly recommend Reflections!

Petaluma, CA | Olympia House is in Petaluma, California. It’s a residential and outpatient rehab for folks with alcohol and substance addictions. They’ll enroll you in detox, medication assisted treatment, and counseling, depending on your needs. Let’s start with detox. Medical detox consists of receiving meds to help make your withdrawal symptoms less seve | Treatments Programs Payment Options | By far. the best (out of 7 total) rehab facilities I've ever been to. They actually do trauma therapy, and you get sessions with a licensed psychologist twice a week, in addition to your drug counselor. The very best therapists I have EVER worked with. And the best drug counselor I've ever had.
I've been looking for therapy like this, and the answers I got at Olympia House, for 20 years. They are the most skilled, caring, and professional team of people I've ever worked with in mental health. I'm dual diagnosis, so I've been seeing professionals for my mental health for 25 years.
Some of their curriculum is custom, developed in house by the psychologists there—you won't find tools like these anywhere else. I have a custom designed "addictive system" I use every day to track where I am in my recovery and mental health. I use this not only to prevent relapses, but correct myself if I run off course, and this works not just for substance relapses but also things like depression, anxiety, and anger.
Their website doesn't reflect this, but they take Kaiser Permanente insurance now. That's the only reason I was able to come here.
I know reviews are inflated on the Internet, but please trust me, I swear with every fiber of my being and every ounce of integrity I have, this is likely the best rehab in California. If you have trauma, and most people do, or some form of PTSD, this is the place you should go.
They also focus on finding meaning and purpose in life--and they will definitely help you with that.
They also allow you to come back to the rehab twice a year for 2-3 days for free! They call it a "tune up". No one else I know of does this. There's also free group therapy for alumni (a process group led by one of the therapists there) once a week via Zoom.
I would wake up many times in OH in disbelief that this place exists at all, and that I got to be a resident here. They've made an enormous difference in the outcome of my life.
******ADDENDUM******
I recently read a review of OH where someone on the autism spectrum had a difficult experience. I'm sorry to hear that, but I simply wanted to say I'm (diagnosed) autistic (ASD 1/Aspergers) myself and felt that OH not only understood the strengths and limitations that can come with that, but also caused me to realize I had overestimated how different I was from my peers because of my autism. I still have it, of course, but the result of being at OH was a clearer picture of its actual impact in my life, particularly with peer relationships. I can't thank them enough for helping me with this, I have a much healthier social life today as a result.

First the facility and the land it's on is beyond beautiful. Couldn't ask for a better place to wake up everyday while recovering.
Everyone that works for O.H genuinely cares. They make u feel like you unique and special. They offer soo many different activities and teach you so much about yourself and addiction. They give you the tools and resources for when you leave.
They do not turn anyone away UNLESS you require more specialized care being that they are not a hospital with a doctor on site.
By far the best rehab in northern California

Olympia House Rehabilitation in Petaluma, California saved my life as well as countless others!
The intense inpatient program includes psychologists, counselors, process group meetings, group classes, one on one meetings as well as yoga, guided meditation, animal therapy, garden, therapy, art and music too.
Olympia House is situated on quiet, peaceful, and safe, 100+ acre farm/ranch.
The doctors, couselors, and staff all work to help identify the root cause of the core distortions that contribute to substance abuse. The focus of the residents mind, body, and spirit are all addressed.
Additionally, there is a lifetime of free continuous care for the alumni that includes zoom process groups, AA/NA meetings, visits once a year for two days at the house. The alumni portion of treatment is all free of charge. I cannot say enough good things regarding Olympia House. I highly recommend this program. Thank you, Sherry P.

I am beyond grateful to have spent 30 days at this facility. They don’t have many patients at once so I did not have to worry so much about others while I was there and able to focus solely on myself.
Big shout out to Alicia and Gus.
Alicia helped me deal with my HR Rep and insurance so that I didn’t have to. I don’t know that I could have done anything of the sort during that first week. I came in having zero knowledge of how any of it worked and Alicia was able to answer all of my questions and help with whatever was needed. I felt that Alicia truly looked out for each client.
As a technician, Gus really took the time and effort to help me with the entire process. I was clueless when I first walked in but I felt taken care of and looked after. I felt that Gus really cared for all of the patients on a personal level. He tried to connect with each of us and shared his knowledge and hope with the whole group.
Overall, I felt safe here. Which is huge when dealing with addiction and being afraid of asking for help. I was able to worry only about my recovery knowing that everything else was being looked after. I recommend to anyone dealing with addiction needing to separate themselves from their substance as the first step on their recovery journey.

I wish I had gone to Avery Lane at 24 years old instead of at 64, for my addictive behaviors. I learned so much about myself and finally live my life with more authenticity, calm and ease. This was my first time in recovery; I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t expect the settings and houses to be so beautiful, quiet and welcoming. The houses are large while keeping the number of women living there small. Eight women is a common number, ages range from 24-70 which sounds impossible but it somehow works! Rooms are shared with one other roommate close in age, or single rooms are available. The food is made daily from fresh ingredients by a committed group of chefs, one of which will break out in song! They tend to make more vegetable dishes than carbs. It sounds to good to be true, but, the program was not what I expected and exceeded my expectations. Group classes and activities like swimming, hiking, and outings are scheduled everyday. NA, AA, Dharma, and other types of support groups are attended in the early evenings. These meetings offer support and help to familiarize clients with various types of programs available in their own communities. Daily group and twice weekly one-on-one therapy sessions are led by practicing, licensed, and published women therapists who are on the cutting edge of women’s recovery, trauma, and the building of life skills for navigating addiction. I learned so much in a short time and will continue to be grateful to the staff for their insights and dedication. I would highly recommend Avery Lane to women of any age suffering from addiction and needing to get their life back.

I invested a lot of time into writing this review because I want to genuinely help anyone considering Ohlhoff. Having spent significant time in both the rooms and the office, I can provide a full perspective that might aid you in your decision-making process regarding sobriety and also a place I like to call my second home, Ohlhoff.
My experience in Ohlhoff recovery has been an incredible journey of growth and self-discovery. As someone who believes that we, as people, are always growing and evolving, I found it essential to approach my recovery with an open mind and a willingness to learn. This program gave me the opportunity to do just that.
I realized that part of this process was letting go of what I thought I knew and allowing the professionals here to guide me. Their expertise, care, and dedication made it clear that recovery is more than just overcoming addiction; it's about reshaping your mindset and embracing new perspectives.
The environment here fosters both learning and growth. While the lessons are serious and impactful, the program also knows how to balance that with engaging and supportive activities. This combination made my recovery feel both challenging and fulfilling.
If you're reading this review, know that you are capable of change. Trust the process, trust the professionals, and most importantly, trust yourself to embrace this journey. This program has truly been life-changing for me, and I'm leaving with a clearer understanding of myself and the tools to continue evolving.
This program incorporates your beliefs and experience while maintaining a hopeful and encouraging tone. If you or someone you know is contemplating taking this significant step toward sobriety, I highly recommend considering Ohlhoff. The supportive environment and dedicated staff can truly make a difference. I hope this review helps you or a loved one in making this life-changing decision.

If someone told me 4 years ago it was possible, I wouldn’t believe it. It became possible thanks to this place, and the incredible people like majors Tammy and Richard. If my son could do it, you can do it too. And yes, the food is really good there!

Petaluma, CA | Muir Wood Adolescent and Family Services is a drug and alcohol rehab in Petaluma, CA. They provide residential addiction treatment and mental health care for adolescents. Muir Wood offers residential addiction treatment and mental health care for adolescents, with separate programs for boys and girls. Teens with mental health disorders and substan | Treatments Programs Payment Options | I am so grateful that Muir Wood exists. We didn’t know where to send our kiddo to keep him safe; we were in a crisis, and this was the answer to our prayers. It was a safe place for him with people who cared about him.
His therapist there, Lodi, was loving, kind, supportive, and non-judgmental. She taught all of us some good things. The Zoom parent sessions were also helpful when we could attend.
The psych NP in charge of medications was not my favorite to work with, but she has since been replaced with a doctor, and I think her replacement is more helpful and knowledgeable.
The evaluation and diagnosis my son received from Doctor Laska-Ruebusch while staying there has been life-changing and extremely helpful for getting my kid set up with a PHP therapy and school accommodations after discharge.
I wish there were a section of the facility and program specifically geared toward kids who don’t have substance use issues, that is what I would change if I could. But I know resources are limited.
Every time we went to visit our son for family sessions, I was charmed by the beautiful farmland surrounding the facility and the feeling of peace and quiet outdoors there.
Again, I am so grateful there was a safe place we could send our sweet son when we had nowhere else. Thank you Muir Wood! Bless you for being a place that takes these boys at a difficult time when there is nowhere else to turn. We needed you. <3

As the co-founder of Oakwood Family Institute, an outpatient treatment center for teens and young adults, I coordinate care with many residential treatment centers and occasionally have the need to refer high-risk clients. We do not hesitate to refer our clients and community members to Muir Wood because we have seen first hand the caliber of treatment, quality of clinicians and the commitment and care of their leadership team. Highly recommend!

I can't express enough gratitude for the Muir Wood Teen Treatment program. My son stayed there for 38 days, and it completely transformed his life. Not only did his mental health improve dramatically, but his lifestyle, food habits, and daily routine all changed for the better. The staff and team members were incredibly supportive every step of the way, always patient, kind, and professional. I truly believe Muir Wood gave my son a new lease on life, and I can't thank them enough.

The clinic is amazing in regard to the friendliness of the staff and ease of access.
I am, however, a bit disturbed by the Pride Flag (specifically the "Progress Flag") that is displayed in the main lobby. Personal feelings aside, this has no place in the display; it does not make sense. There's the US flag with all the branches of the military. Then......the Progress Flag.
No POW flag, either. How is this Pride Flag equal to the branches of the military? It's not only unnacceptable, but it's out of place. It simply doesn't make sense.
Could it be displayed elswhere? Another way?
