East Bay Residential Evidence-based Addiction Rehab

Exclusively for Men

Our Goal is to restore balance in every area of a man’s life –
Mind, Body and Spirit.

A WISE Retreat is a private residential treatment facility exclusively for men suffering from drug and alcohol addiction and co-occurring disorders (dual diagnosis).

We are a unique program located 30 miles northeast of San Francisco – nestled on a hillside surrounded by tall trees and beautiful gardens.

Unlike some of the larger rehab programs that have an institutionalized atmosphere – we are a small, warm and comfortable 6-bed facility in an intimate setting. Our resident to staff ratio is ideal for recovery.

WISE: We Inspire, Support and Empower

Evidence-based Addiction Treatment

Our team of professional addiction specialists and staff members utilize the best evidence-based addiction treatment methodologies available. Our staff members are among the most compassionate and highly skilled treatment professionals on the West Coast.

A WISE Retreat uses an integrative approach to dual diagnosis recovery. We treat the whole person – combining traditional western medicine and eastern traditions.

Our resident to staff ratio is ideal for recovery. We provide in-depth assessments, individualized treatment planning, multiple one-on-one sessions, family therapy sessions – and lots of individual attention.

Our clients are treated with dignity and respect. Clients healing from addiction get the evidence-based professional help needed to recover from substance use disorder.

A WISE Retreat provides addiction recovery at an affordable price in a comfortable, safe and home-like setting.

We Focus on the Whole Person – Mind, Body and Spirit

Our health and wellness program incorporates our Power Recovery Treatment Program.

We focus on health, nutrition, exercise and life balance.

The road to recovery is a lifelong journey that begins with the first step.

We understand the courage it takes to walk the road less traveled. That is why from the moment you walk through our doors and long after you successfully complete our program we are committed to guiding you every step of the way.

We understand the disease of addiction and the harmful effects it has on the brain, but we also understand the devastating impact drugs and alcohol have on the body, mental health, families, relationships, careers and social life.

That is why we developed our Power Recovery Treatment Plan.

A WISE Retreat
Power Recovery Program

Our Power Recovery Program is based on an interactive, biopsychosocial model proven to be the most effective in recovery.

Addiction is a complex brain disease that changes the way the brain functions, the way we think and the way we behave. It also carries with it a high risk for health problems causing changes to the body, affecting our heart, lungs liver and gut. It creates havoc on our Immune System depleting our nutrients, affecting our eating habits, sleeping habits and social life.

Our Power Recovery Treatment Plan is based on our many years of professional experience, knowledge and understanding of addiction and the devastating effects it has on the human body as a whole.

A WISE Retreat evidence-based program includes a variety of strategies including MAT (medicated assisted treatment), psychotherapy, and mutual-help groups.

But We Don’t Stop Addiction Rehab Treatment There

We now know that combating addiction takes more than traditional and modern therapies. Recovery needs more than medications and harm reduction. Overcoming addiction takes a human touch: empathy and compassion.

Addiction Recovery takes time, persistence and patience. It requires good nutrition with whole foods, fresh water, daily exercise, restorative REM sleep, meditation – and human connection.

We Inspire, Support and Empower our clients by giving them a warm supportive environment – and a place where they belong combined with warm relationships. We’re not afraid to nurture our clients.

We listen to our clients because we know that below the surface, deep down inside – there is a root cause for their substance use disorder. Addiction is not a moral failing, therefore we never shame or blame our clients. Instead we teach our clients self-efficacy, self-control, self-confidence and motivate them to change their behaviors and their lives.

Our local Northern California service area includes San Francisco, Bay Area, East Bay, Concord, Benicia, Berkeley, Walnut Creek, San Mateo, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Silicon Valley, Menlo Park and San Jose.
