Alta Mira Recovery Programs

My stay here was not nearly what I hoped for. Sleep deprivation was an ongoing issue. I made it clear I needed a quiet place to sleep, but it sure did not go that way. They put me in detox when I clearly was not detoxing. I was also forced to «room» with someone who clearly should have been in detox. They didn’t even check to see if we were a good fit to be «living together». I found him standing over me at 3 in the morning? Just 1 example of the many disheartening and bizarre experiences I had at Alta Mira. The food is great but the program overall was a total disappointment. At 55K for 30 days, I cannot believe how disappointing it was. I came to work on strengthening my marriage and left very stressed out. I would strongly suggest a simple inexpensive program. The price of the facility is obviously not the end all. I just noticed a charge for a massage and toiletries a month after leaving? No call or Notification, just threw it on my credit card. When I called Alta Mira I was referred to their outpatient clinic? I never stepped foot in there, yet the charge was from there? Ironically I was supposed to get 4 massages and only got three, yet was billed for a 5^th? and never ordered any toiletries while there. I would do your homework before committing to this facility, I sure wish I had.

While the accommodations are great and the food is wonderful, the quality of the care in the curriculum is what sets it apart. This place does more than just treat addiction. They provide the tools to work with the underlying issues. The program is customized and is nurturing from the inside out. You will be treated with respect and dignity but also with compassion and genuine care. This is a place to rediscover strength and develop tools to maintain sobriety no matter what life throws at you. I recommend this program to anyone out there suffering.

I attended two other addiction rehab programs before going to Alta Mira. I can tell you that there is no comparison. Alta Mira was amazing. The staff was the best I’ve ever been with. My therapist helped me through issues that I’ve struggled with my entire life. They do a lot of psychological testing to find out what issues you have going on under the addiction. And finally – I got a diagnosis and treatment for a learning disorder that was never known about or treated in the past. Their spirituality program helped me get a lot more grounded and peaceful. The family and co-​dependency workshops were life changers for me. The overall experience was great – fantastic food, caring people, beautiful facility. And the weekly alumni groups are great for ongoing support. As a person who has struggled with addiction for a long time, it’s amazing to finally have this much relief, support, and hope.
