About Walden House Inc
HealthRIGHT 360 holds a contract with the San Francisco Department of Public Health to provide addiction treatment to San Francisco County residents, and Walden House is one of the programs that contract covers. It's a men's residential rehab center in San Francisco, California, and it admits adult men only.
Getting In During the Week
I like that they're open from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm on weekdays. I also like how walk-ins are welcome. Those are daytime hours on working days, so expect to take a morning away from work.
Who Qualifies for Care
The center also hosts the Acceptance Place, a residential program for gay, bisexual and transgender men. The Men's Residential program runs at ASAM levels 3.1, 3.3 and 3.5, a clinical standard for how much supervision and medical attention a residential program provides.
It includes medication-assisted treatment, mental health care and harm reduction. Medical detox isn't offered here, though clients can get withdrawal management at ASAM level 3.2 through a primary care clinic at the Integrated Care Center.
The program has been in San Francisco since 1969, when Walden House opened in the Haight Ashbury district to work with teenagers who were homeless or had run away and were using drugs or alcohol.
Amenities
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
Transportation services are designed to ensure your addiction treatment begins and ends successfully by offering free transportation to the rehab facility, to and from your appointments during rehab, and back home upon program completion.
In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.

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.
Community support and relationship-building are key elements of aftercare rehab in California. You’ll receive recovery coaching, social support, and mentors to help you maintain sobriety after completing initial rehab treatment. This support will continue as long as you need it, which could be weeks or more than a year.
Mental health services are part of the residential program, so mental health care happens in the same place as substance use treatment.
When you enter drug rehab in California, detox is the first step towards becoming drug-free. The detox process includes 24/7 monitoring and medical care and may include the use of medications to ease withdrawal symptoms.
California sober living has been shown to reduce relapse and improve recovery. These programs offer highly-structured living environments for those who desire to remain sober.
