Drug Rehab Centers in Petaluma, California

Bayside Marin is an excellent treatment center. 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. 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.

This facility saved my life in 2017! They treated me as an individual while helping me process my trauma and grief. I was able to create new habits, build self esteem and stop self medicating through life. My children & I are forever grateful to Bayside for showing me a new way to live!

great staff, they treated me respectfully

This is my first experience with residential treatment and by far the best experience. Top notch staff, facility, and food service. This place really opened my eyes to a better life and I’m so very grateful for them. Shot out to Mark B., Luaralie, Casey, Oscar, and Carolyn for be so amazing during my stay!

Serenity Knolls saved my daughter's life! First program in 10 years that. Accually helped her heal. Wonderful people work there and the director Nancy Lambert is amazing! I am so grateful that my daughter finally got professional help! I had to beg Kiaser to pay for it but they finally did. Can't say enough about the quality of the therapist there. Also is gorgeous property.

Great place to recover. The food is on point

If your serious about getting better and your recovery this is the place you want to go . Thank you so much

I'm Kurt Duncan from paradise, ca and thanks to Azure acres I'm a recovering addict. Today i have 31 days clean. Might not seem like alot of time, but if you ever tried to get clean. You'll know that it is! It's a miracle! Calling Azure Acres was one of the hardest, and best thing I've ever done in my life. As soon as they picked up the phone ( second ring) I felt a weight lift off my chest. I knew from that moment, i wasn't alone anymore. When I showed up, I was greeted with open arms, like family. Everyone everyday was so nice, and happy. It made my stay there easier, and everyday got better and better. The clients were all happy, with a glow about them I can't explain, magical. I'd like to mention everyone by name but there's way to many. But Brad your the bomb! We clicked the moment we met, and that was Hugh for me. And a special thanks to Cassy. Without her and her counseling I would still be lost, she knows what she is doing. The whole staff is very skilled and professional. Thr house's are very clean, and I can't say enough about the food. The cook can cook! And also cares about us addicts. I would recommend Azure Acres above any other treatment center. Definitely a 5 star+ outfit. Thank you Azure Acres for being a big part of my recovery. TO THE HOUSE! TO THE STAFF! TO RECOVERY!
