Program lengths are flexible, ranging from 30 to over 180 days, based on individual needs. Their clinical approach integrates trauma-informed care with a strong sense of community, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family counseling, relapse prevention, experiential therapy, anger management, life skills development, animal-assisted therapy, and 12-Step philosophy. Group therapy sessions are often held outdoors near a serene lake, just minutes from the facility, taking full advantage of Marin County’s natural beauty.The structured program encourages clients to develop a sustainable routine, often incorporating physical fitness, employment support, and volunteer opportunities with guidance from experienced case managers.

Sober living plays a vital role in long-term recovery, providing a stable, supportive environment that reduces the risk of relapse.
