Comprehensive Addiction Treatment Program at Mills-Peninsula Health Services
The Behavioral Health Department at Mills-Peninsula Health Services, located at 100 South San Mateo Drive in San Mateo, CA, offers a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment and recovery. Understanding that substance use disorder is a complex chronic illness, the program is dedicated to providing personalized care that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.
Personalized Treatment and Clinical Excellence
Our program emphasizes individualized care, recognizing that no two paths to recovery are exactly alike. Treatment starts with a thorough assessment by a team of specialists to determine the most effective level of care, which may include detox services, inpatient rehabilitation, or intensive outpatient programs. Clinical services are evidence-based, integrating medical management, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing.
Patients benefit from working with experienced professionals, including board-certified psychiatrists, licensed clinical social workers, therapists, and addiction specialists. This multidisciplinary team collaborates to treat co-occurring mental health conditions, ensuring a more holistic and sustainable recovery. We are committed to maintaining a supportive and therapeutic environment where patients can safely explore the roots of their addiction and develop essential coping mechanisms for long-term sobriety.
Supportive Therapies and Aftercare Planning
Beyond core therapeutic modalities, the program incorporates various supportive therapies designed to rebuild health and stability. These often include group therapy sessions focused on relapse prevention, family education and support, and stress management techniques. The goal is not only abstinence but also improving overall quality of life, restoring relationships, and integrating healthy habits back into daily living.
A crucial component of our treatment philosophy is robust aftercare planning. Before completing treatment, every patient receives a tailored discharge plan that includes connections to local resources, ongoing outpatient therapy options, and recommendations for support groups. We understand that recovery is a continuous journey, and our commitment extends to ensuring patients have the tools and network necessary to thrive post-treatment.
