Drug Rehab Centers in Forest Knolls, California

My experience at Reflections was profoundly healing and restorative.From the moment I checked in, I was surrounded by folks who obviously cared about my recovery, including the Clinical Director himself, the amazing therapeutic staff, the program assistants, the attentive nurses, and even the chefs who prepared our delicious, healthy meals. Every one of these folks invested personally in my journey back to wellness and, by the end of treatment, I counted them all as dear friends. I am now six months out of treatment and my new life is a miracle that I never thought possible.Let me offer a few well-deserved accolades . . .First, the educational program itself is outstanding. I received in-depth information on a wide range of subjects, but most importantly about the disease processes (including the neurophysiology) of addiction, which helped me understand exactly (i) why I had been so profoundly affected by my substance of choice and (ii) how to use this knowledge to build a comprehensive, concrete, evidence-based life plan for long-term recovery. It was profound.Second, the clinical program is highly effective. In addition to bi-weekly meetings with the Clinical Director, each of the residents is assigned (i) a personal therapist to assist in identifying and addressing the deeper, emotional aspects of our addictions and (ii) an amazing relapse prevention expert who helps the residents design practical, personalized plans (also evidence-based) to avoid future debilitating relapses. I still look at my own plan every week. All of this work fits hand in glove with the educational curriculum I describe above.Third, all of this takes place in beautiful surroundings that facilitate close bonds among the handful of residents (usually 5 or 6) in treatment. We had many powerful group sessions, fabulous shared meals, outside activities (including recovery-based meetings), art and music therapy, yoga, and plenty of time to hang in the common area playing cards, watching movies, or just talking about our lives. We shared these valuable informal times with a number of trained program assistants who were available to share their own personal recovery experiences and offer personal encouragement.Fourth, the amenities are outstanding. Outdoor covered fitness center, swimming pool and hot tub, bobcats that prowl the hillside at night, comfortable private rooms with desks and plenty of closet space, and great food. Unlike many other treatment facilities, at Reflections you get to keep your computer and phone with you during your stay. I felt a little spoiled by it all.Finally, Reflections has a great after-care program to help graduating residents shift back into the real world. I spent the ten weeks following treatment in Reflections' remarkable IOP program, which meets three days per week. This allowed me to take continued advantage of Reflections' recovery support while transitioning back to work. The clinical director of IOP is a fabulous guy who offers great, practical support during that transition. He also runs a weekly Zoom-based alumni meeting that's available to all graduates.What more can I say? I entered Reflections in pretty rough shape, and I emerged from the program confident in my own recovery, physically and mentally sharp, and super optimistic about the future. It is a lot of work but, if you are willing to work hard and take your recovery seriously, I cannot imagine a better place than Reflections to launch your new life.

Bro the reviews are trippin this isn t a strange place this a great place don t crap post on here I love the entire staff from Julie and Natasha, Daniel, sinati, Karen, Cassandra and Mark and so on don t listen to the noise this is the best place around

Alta Mira was an exceptional experience in 2020 and I recently celebrated 4 years of sobriety. The therapist I had in the program set me on a wonderful path to a better future. The alumni program is one of the best parts of my current journey along with the quarterly tune ups where we get to see our amazing community and the opportunity to give back to others.
