Which Level of Care Do You Need

The counts below reflect the 1 Sausalito facility listed in this directory.

Medically Supervised Detox

Detox manages withdrawal under clinical observation, usually across several days, and is where treatment begins for anyone physically dependent on alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines. The Sausalito facility does offer detox, alongside medication-assisted treatment.

Inpatient Residential Treatment

Residential care provides a structured live-in setting for weeks or months. The Sausalito facility offers residential care as well, so the first two steps happen in one place. San Rafael has seven more fifteen minutes north.

Outpatient, IOP and PHP Treatment

Outpatient care lets you live at home while attending sessions. The Sausalito facility does not offer outpatient services, IOP or PHP. For the step-down, San Rafael has six outpatient providers and four offering IOP fifteen minutes north.

Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment

Dual diagnosis care treats a substance use disorder and a mental health condition together rather than in sequence. The Sausalito facility does not currently indicate it treats co-occurring disorders, which given it provides detox and residential care is worth establishing before admission. Seven San Rafael facilities do.
