Small, long-term residential program in a historic house with nutritional and holistic medical support, counseling, and Twelve Step programs. IV nutrients available.
San Francisco Bay Area Programs
Twelve Step oriented. Group and family programs. Though the directors are open to nutritional rehab, they do not provide supplements, so come to my clinic for a work-up on your way (we're close to each other), as many people do. Good meals that they'll tailor to our recommendations. No IV nutrients, and most residents are not on a holistic program.
For other programs near you, including outpatient recovery programs, see your Yellow Pages under "Alcohol" or "Drugs."
