At Bayside Marin, we know that spending time in residential treatment is just one step on the lifelong journey to sustained recovery. During your time with us, we will make aftercare planning a priority so that you feel prepared to return to your home and family with a strong foundation for sobriety.
Throughout your stay, we will discuss the challenges you may face once you return home, and identify the strengths that will help you navigate them. One of the most effective ways to stay true to your goals for recovery is to connect with others who have shared similar experiences. Addiction can leave you feeling isolated, but by attending support groups you will learn that you are not alone, and in this setting you can gain valuable encouragement from others.
Throughout the greater San Francisco, California area we are fortunate to have a wide variety of support groups available both for the individual struggling with addiction and/or mental health issues and those close to him or her.
Co-Dependents Anonymous
Often, addiction and mental illness can make it difficult to put healthy boundaries in place. This group is designed to help individuals learn to build healthy and loving relationships and is open to anyone who wishes to improve his or her interpersonal dynamics.

The Compassionate Friends
Sometimes, addiction, mental health, and trauma go hand in hand, and sustaining the loss of a loved one can illicit unhealthy behaviors as you grapple to cope with the pain of the experience. This is especially true for families who suffer the loss of a child, and the mission of The Compassionate Friends is to provide comfort, hope, and support to every family experiencing the death of a son or a daughter, a brother or a sister, or a grandchild.
