Learn More About Alta Mira Recovery Programs

Areas of Specialization
  • Family Program
    Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often have genetic roots, whether related to substance abuse, mental illness or both. Family dynamics also play a role and, often, family members are the first to realize a loved one has developed an addiction. Also, it’s important for family members to understand and embrace the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery.
  • Medical Detoxification
    Drugs and alcohol have widespread effects throughout your body, including but not limited to the addiction and/or physical/psychological dependence that develops with substance abuse over time. Many organ systems are affected by addiction and will react to withdrawal. The term “medical detoxification” means that there is a trained and licensed medical professional onsite to monitor your vital signs and protect your physical and emotional health as your body goes through withdrawal.
  • Alcohol Addiction Treatment
    Alcohol addiction can impact every area of life, from relationships and career to physical and mental health. At Alta Mira Recovery, our comprehensive alcohol treatment program combines evidence-based therapies, psychiatric care, and personalized treatment planning. Clients receive support in a structured residential setting designed to address the underlying causes of alcohol dependence while helping build lasting strategies for sobriety and long-term recovery.
  • Drug Addiction Treatment Program
    Alta Mira Recovery provides specialized treatment for individuals struggling with drug addiction. Our clinical team addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of substance use disorders through evidence-based therapies, psychiatric support, and individualized treatment planning. In a safe and supportive residential environment, clients develop healthier coping strategies and the tools needed to sustain long-term recovery.
  • Chronic Relapse Treatment and Recovery Support
    Chronic relapse can occur when underlying psychological, emotional, or neurological factors remain untreated. Alta Mira Recovery specializes in helping individuals who have experienced repeated relapse by conducting comprehensive assessments and creating highly personalized treatment plans. Our program focuses on identifying root causes, strengthening coping skills, and developing sustainable strategies that support lasting recovery.
  • Trauma-Informed Addiction Treatment
    Trauma often plays a significant role in addiction and mental health challenges. Alta Mira Recovery provides trauma-informed care that recognizes the impact of past experiences on substance use and emotional well-being. Our clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic approaches to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can process trauma, build resilience, and pursue lasting recovery.
  • Mood & Personality Disorders
    Mood and personality disorders frequently occur alongside substance use disorders and can complicate the recovery process. Alta Mira Recovery offers integrated treatment that addresses both addiction and underlying mental health conditions. Through comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and individualized therapy, clients gain the skills needed to stabilize mood, improve relationships, and support long-term behavioral health.
  • Substance-Induced Psychosis Treatment
    Substance-induced psychosis can cause severe confusion, paranoia, and hallucinations related to drug or alcohol use. At Alta Mira Recovery, our clinical team provides careful psychiatric evaluation and treatment to stabilize symptoms and address the underlying substance use disorder. Our integrated behavioral health approach supports both mental health recovery and long-term sobriety.
  • Addiction Treatment for Veterans
    Veterans may face unique challenges related to trauma, stress, and substance use. Alta Mira Recovery offers specialized treatment designed to address addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions commonly experienced by veterans. Through evidence-based therapies, trauma-informed care, and compassionate clinical support, our program helps veterans build resilience and achieve lasting recovery.
  • Opioid Addiction Treatment Program
    Opioid addiction can quickly become life-threatening without proper treatment. Alta Mira Recovery provides comprehensive care for individuals struggling with opioid dependence, including heroin and prescription pain medications. Our multidisciplinary team delivers evidence-based therapies, psychiatric support, and personalized recovery plans that help clients stabilize, heal, and maintain long-term sobriety.
  • Stimulant Addiction Treatment
    Stimulant addiction, including dependence on substances such as cocaine or methamphetamine, can have serious physical and psychological effects. Alta Mira Recovery offers specialized treatment that addresses both the neurological and behavioral aspects of stimulant use disorders. Through individualized therapy and comprehensive behavioral health care, clients develop healthier coping strategies and pathways to sustainable recovery.

Complete waste of time and money. The only staff that were helpful have left the facility according to their website. Many of the RAs are incredibly untrained and unprofessional. Though their website advertises a number of different \"workshops\", these workshops are only available to clients who stay more than 30 days (which they don\'t tell you until you actually get there). The lack of communication between the RAs and therapists is incredible--there were many times I and other clients required immediate aid in one way or another, but because of bureaucratic nonsense, no aid was usually received. Alta Mira advertises their \"Aftercare\" as being top notch, however, the vast majority of clients I have maintained contact with have relapsed--a number of them specifically cited the poor aftercare Alta Mira provides as being a key reason. The only benefit of the facility is the rooms are nice, and the food is alright. If you want to really recover, find somewhere else.

I felt isolated at Alta Mira. No one asked me how I was doing until I had been there a week. Way overpriced, and way underserved. after spending 50k, I just noticed a charge on my CC made by Alta Mira for a "massage session" and toiletries? A month after I left? No notification, just put it on my card. This facility is simply outrageous. I have never been more stressed in my life. I cannot tell you how glad I was to leave.
