Residential Treatment Program
What to expect: The Bayside Marin residential drug rehab program is designed for individuals who require 24 hours of care and support. The average length of stay in this level of care is 30 to 60 days. Length of stay is contingent on the severity of detox, client's willingness and ability to complete treatment assignments, client's progress in treatment and client's comfort level at time of discharge.

Upon admission, clients are assigned to a therapist and a room. Clients may be assigned to a single or double room depending on their needs and program availability. Each client will have a physical examination by a physician and a substance abuse assessment by a counselor the first few days of treatment. A client will see a therapist within the first five days for development of the treatment plan. If a client has a pre-existing psychiatric diagnosis or assessments suggest a new diagnosis, a psychiatric evaluation may be recommended. The information gathered from the physical, psychological and psychiatric evaluations will be used in the development of each client's individualized treatment plan. Also the physician, counselor, therapist and psychiatrist will continue to participate in each client's care as part of the multi-disciplinary treatment team.
The setting at Bayside Marin is peaceful and serene and our staff and clients do a lot of hard work. The treatment days are filled with physical, mental, emotional and Spiritual stimulation. Following a healthy and hearty breakfast, each morning begins with our morning "check-in" meeting that describes the activities of the day. Our residences overlook the entire San Francisco Bay and Mt. Tamalpais. You are likely to see roaming deer, rabbits, squirrels, blooming orchards and soaring hawks as you catch the sunrise. The typical day consists of morning check in group, Education sessions, Group Therapy, Individual Therapy, Yoga, Tai Chi or Chi Gung , Therapeutic Massage or Acupuncture, Sober Fun Activities, a meeting at the gym with the personal trainer, an outside self-help support group meeting, and other therapeutic activities.
There are also weekly "Creative Therapy Activities" such as a Sweat Lodge Ceremony, an intensive session of Psycho-Drama, Biofeedback, or creative art therapy.
In the evenings clients will attend self-help support group meetings, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, SMART Recovery, or LifeRing. The days end with evening closure groups that provide a summary of the day and words of encouragement to begin again tomorrow.
The Bayside Marin Family Program meets for a full day session on the first and third Saturday of every month. Family and loved ones are strongly encouraged to attend. These sessions will be informative for families and provide a forum for the necessary family work to begin. Family members will learn how to become part of the client's relapse prevention plan and be assisted in identifying and developing good boundaries and Recovery goals for themselves. In addition to the Family Program, private family therapy sessions are scheduled as needed.
Our goal is that Bayside Marin will be the last treatment program our clients will ever need, so clients are introduced to a variety of clinical interventions that provide them with the greatest opportunity for positive treatment outcomes. We recognize that the amount of time with us is short and we try to provide clients with as many tools as possible while they are with us. We work very hard to assure that all clients gain as much as they can to support their long term-Recovery.
