About Marin County Mental Health Services

You'll find Behavioral Health and Recovery Services in San Rafael, California. They offer outpatient substance use treatment for adults, youth and families.

Affordable Payment Options

One feature I noticed was their affordable payment options. All Marin County residents can access services, no matter their ability to pay. They accept public insurance, including Medi Cal. If you’re uninsured or underinsured, a sliding fee scale may be available based on income and family size.

Tailored Care for Special Populations

Another thing that caught my eye was that they provide targeted care for special populations. You can access proven, trauma informed approaches to meet your recovery goals.

They provide priority admission for pregnant women. If you're experiencing homelessness or involved in the criminal justice system, they offer tailored outreach. They ensure you feel heard and understood with services available in Spanish.

Supporting Your Journey with Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

You can access 24/7 crisis intervention and stabilization services to safely handle emergencies or overcome withdrawal. I think it’s great that they offer MAT for opioid use disorder. This whole person approach can help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms while supporting recovery.

Recovery in the North Bay Region

BHRS is easily accessible by public transportation in a quiet area near the Marin Civic Center. You can visit downtown San Rafael and Boyd Memorial Park to enjoy a blend of community resources, public libraries and outdoor activities. Ring Mountain Open Space Preserve, China Camp State Park and Marinwood Park offer other outdoor recreation spaces to explore.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

When a person is struggling with addiction, their actions and emotions may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy in California helps individuals understand better why they feel and act certain ways and how those emotions and actions can lead to substance abuse.

LGBTQ Friendly Rehab

The incidence of substance abuse and addiction is higher among the LBGTQ community. That’s why LBGTQ-friendly rehab in California is available, to offer specialized treatment that addresses the unique needs of individuals in this demographic.

Teen & Adolescent Program

Typically, a young adult program in California can guide individuals from detox, through initial treatment, and extends to aftercare. Treatment gives young adults what they need to reset their lives and move to the next stage of life free from addiction.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

When you choose outpatient rehab in California, you will meet with a counselor and attend support group meetings. The focus will be on restructuring attitudes and thoughts to reduce cravings and develop skills to prevent relapse. The length of time in outpatient rehab varies by individual, based on their recovery needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

When you have a co-occurring disorder, it is essential to treat both your addiction and the mental health disorder. California dual diagnosis treatment provides this type of multidisciplinary approach, for improved recovery outcomes.
