About Options Recovery Services
Based in Berkeley, California, Options Recovery Services has been offering community support services and addiction treatment for over 25 years. Care is available to adults aged 18 and older, regardless of gender or background.
In 2023, this center earned a Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency on GuideStar, which is a great sign for the quality of their care. They provide sober living homes with 180 beds available to house anyone experiencing mental ill health, homelessness, or addiction.
Meanwhile, their outpatient services are available during the day, and in the evenings for people with less flexibility due to work or study. For this reason, I find their care to be very accessible. In terms of what their outpatient services entail, clients can access 12 step study, life skills and addiction education, individual counseling, and relapse prevention. Smoking cessation services are also available, as well as holistic activities like acupuncture, yoga, self esteem groups, and relaxation training.
A mental health clinic is also available for those experiencing co occurring mental health issues. Here, clients can access therapy, diagnoses, and individual case management.
Former clients are largely positive. Some praise the ‘hands on’ approach of counselors who are able to offer their personal experience to support and reassure and the organization of the facility itself. Others describe it as one of the best treatment facilities they’ve experienced, which is high praise indeed!
