Bayside Marin Treatment Center

Bayside Marin Treatment Center

2.8(44 reviews)

Bayside Marin is an excellent treatment center, I'd rate it #2 in northern California…read more At first, I didn't want to go here, mainly because of negative reviews and hearsay from an acquaintance, and corporate ownership. But I quickly changed my mind. I came here devestated by a very traumatic year of my life, in as much of a mental health crisis as I was in a substance one. Throughout the length of my stay, I was treated with understanding, patience and compassion. The bulk of their program is cookie cutter evidence based, but high quality. The employees at Bayside really care about their work, and their clients, and because of this it didn't have a corporate feel, even though they're owned by Acadia. What made this stay extra special for me was the therapy and one on one conversations I had with staff. I had the honor and privilege of working with the best therapist I've ever seen. When there's a true match with therapy it can be magical, spiritual. I have transformed into a better version of myself because of the one on one work with my therapist, whose intelligence, wit, patience, and compassion helped me to rise above and shine, despite facing some extremely challenging triggers in residential this time. When you can't fully care about yourself, sometimes you can borrow someone else's faith in you until you're able to care about yourself a little more. By the end of my stay, I felt more confident and centered than I had in a long time. I also wanted to say, the tech supervisor helped guide me psychologically and spiritually as I faced various challenges at Bayside, and helped revive my interest in spirituality, meditation and awakening. I had the best spiritual and psychological support I could have asked for, which I thought would be impossible after being at Olympia House in 2022. (Both are good rehabs with their unique strengths and weaknesses. I learned a lot at both, but they're not directly comparable, OH is a little more unique in terms of approach and programming. Bayside was extra meaningful because of the particular therapist I worked with, the behavioral technician supervisor I mentioned and the particular clients I bonded with. They actually listen to client feedback and I watched them make numerous improvements over the three months I was there. With that said, there is room for further improvement. Clients are shuffled over to the main campus from detox with very little explanation of where to go and when, which leaves freshly detoxed clients confused, angry, and feeling disrespected. I've been told they're working on fixing this problem. Scheduling glitches do happen, but that's true of any medium or large rehab. They do their best. And also, sometimes communication can be a little complicated between departments. No place is perfect. Gorgeous campus. Food was great. I was told this was a rehab for rich people who valued aesthetics over content, but that's not what I found here. They have some incredible talent working for them and client socioeconomic backgrounds are mixed. 2026 update: I've had to return to Bayside and things have only gotten better, taking my review from 4 stars to 5. A lot of mediocre therapists have left, replaced by excellent ones, and they have made subtle but noticable improvements to the programming. I'm SO grateful for Bayside Marin, one of the finest treatment centers in northern California and perhaps the country. Last. I would encourage people, strongly, to ask to change their therapist if the initial assignment isn't a match. I did, and it made all the difference in my stay.

I paid 110k and this is what I get he won't even answer the phone on why I'm not available to do. Not even the admissions team knows. That mean will be dealt with do not I repeat do not go to this place! They have teachers who weren't even teaching they were so short staffed and the medical team gave me and other patients wrong medicine. I have way more things I can say but that wraps it up Thanks Tyler good ceo

I attended Newport Institute's Bayview location during the summer of 2024. I was experiencing…read moresevere depression and suicidal ideations at the time I admitted. While here, I appreciated my sessions with my counselor and therapists. I was able to connect with the clinicians in the unique ways a residential setting allows for, and I grew to trust them with things I'd never previously opened up about. I also enjoyed many of the activities including art therapy, adventure therapy, swimming in the beautiful pool, acupuncture and cupping, horticulture group, and the clinical groups. I made connections with the staff and residential manager as well. Over the course of my time here, Newport became a home. In its safety, I processed my traumas and gained self confidence. I am doing well today because of my experience here. With all of that being said, this place was not perfect. The food was awful, and as someone with ARFID, I often went hungry. They made accommodations for me but took their time in obtaining food I was able to eat. Some of the staff were not the best fit for the job, causing us as clients to feel un-cared for while certain people were on shift. This location was short a therapist while I was there, and gaps were filled virtually, which was very challenging for me. Overall, I would highly recommend this location based on my experience. However, I am aware that the company is currently experiencing some structural changes that may impact its current quality of care. If you choose to pursue treatment here, I hope it is still as healing for you as it was for me a year ago.

Newport Bayview has amazing therapists, some amazing CC's that you can really bond with, they also have a school session time that is very amazing especially if u were doing college classes like me. The food was good from time to time but they always would accommodate for you if you had any allergies or any dislikes. The house is beautiful and you get to go on fun group outings as well! Newport was the first residential I have ever gone to and it was one of the best experiences when making a leap into recovery with my mental health and addiction. Since leaving Newport I have also been able to stay sober and have noticed a change in my happiness as well! I have also been out of their care for over 3 months now and to this day I still talk about all of the fun experiences I had while being their, all of the staff that i miss and just how well they treated me. Newport Bayview was hard going to at first but I don't regret my stay at all, 10/10 would recommend

My mother in law has been at this facility for over a month. Their "care" is anything but that…read more They wake her up at 6:30am and tell her someone will be back soon. HOURS go by. She is blind with a broken arm and very limited mobility. She needs assistance getting up and placed in a chair. They leave her there for hours not checking in on her. She has called my husband crying multiple times and he goes over there almost every day for hours to take care of her. At $800 a day the care should be exceptional. They took her arthritis cream away 3 times as it wasn't prescribed. It's an over the counter cream that helps with her pain and they take it away! Horrendous all the way around.

Our family was lucky to hear about Tiburon Hills Care Center from an affiliated rehabilitation…read morefacility when it became obvious that what our mother needed in the final weeks of her life was not rehabilitation, but top-notch hospice care in a quiet, restful setting. She was assigned a private room with a view of rolling hills and a flock of wild turkeys and the occasional deer that roamed the grounds. All of the nursing and medical staff who attended Mom were clearly well trained and treated her in a dignified and compassionate manner. The staff were happy to accommodate our mother's wish to spend her last days surrounded by family, making her own choices of whether to participate in scheduled social activities. She enjoyed the food and when she or family members asked for little extras from the kitchen, the answer was always yes. We were all made to feel completely welcome and comfortable during Mom's stay, and at the end of her life the staff offered us lots of kind support. I strongly recommend Tiburon Hills to anyone seeking expert and humane care in a setting as beautiful as anything Marin County has to offer.

I stayed at the San Rafael Healthcare and Wellness Center (SRH&WC) for 20 days because I had fallen…read moreand cut a big gash in my right calf. After 4 days at Marin General, I needed to go to a skilled nursing facility and the MG staff strongly recommended that I go to SRH&WC over the other facility that my Medicare covered. It was the right call. All things considered, the stay there was quite pleasant. The facility was cleaned daily and more often as needed, the management staff was caring and professional, and the nursing staff were all wonderful, kind and proficient. I had physical therapy 3 times/week, and there is a small gym. Although I didn't take much advantage of it, the activities (thank you, Whyll and Cassandra) were varied and entertaining, ranging from live music, drum circle, bingo and trivia contests, and nightly movies. They even offered religious hours on Sundays. Something for everyone. I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge by name some of the exemplary staff members (and my apologies to those who I'm not including -- again, they were all great). First, the management team of Macqueline Soliman-Plantin (Admissions) and Ana Benitez (Social Services) were absolutely wonderful: professional, thoughtful and caring. From their initial welcoming visit through to my departure, they handled all the paperwork and phone calls with my insurance company, ensuring there were no costly surprises. They were also terrific with my family and friends. I should also include Maddy Tyson (Receptionist) in the above list. She, too, was great, so kind, polite and professional. Everyone in the Nursing Staff (there were a lot) was professional, intelligent and attentive, so I will only mention a few names: Priscilla (Wound Nurse), Hector and Marie (RNs), and Wesley (CNA). I also want to thank the two Physical Therapists: Alex and Tricia. Two somewhat different styles, but both helped me build up my strength and balance so that I was able to be released after 20 days. They really helped me get back on track physically. Finally and a surprise, the food was actually quite good ranging from above average to excellent. (Not to toot my own horn, but I am a gourmet/gourmand and an excellent cook: I know delicious food, and I'm quite critical.) There were three truly standout meals: a tunafish salad, cheese enchiladas and roast turkey with gravy, stuffing, etc. All meals came with veggies and/or salad, and a starch (potatoes, pasta or beans). Kevin, the chef, put out different meals the entire time I was there, and I was able to have him adjust my meals to fit my dietary needs. Again, this was the only time I stayed in a skilled nursing facility, and I hope I never stay in one again, but my stay at SRH&WC was about as good as I think it gets, and much better than I expected. Thank you to all!

I have been a patient with San Rafael Healthcare and Wellness Center for three weeks, following a…read morethree-week hospitalization for congestive heart failure. The Center provided a smooth transition from the hospital to rehabilitation. The nurses are skilled and are supported by a team of doctors who provide quick response to any care issues. The Center also can provide ancillary services such as Podiatry, Dentistry, and Optometry. San Rafael Healthcare and Wellness Center is a smaller center, but it punches well above it's weight in services like physical therapy and food services. At the same time, it's small enough that a patient can know the whole staff by name.

I hesitated for a moment to put my personal business out on Yelp of all places, but when I saw the ridiculously wrong, personal spite motivated reviews I thought I should say something. The clinic works within the boundaries set BY THE STATE. These rules are changing. IT IS MUCH EASIER TO GET TAKE HOMES NOW, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A JOB OR DISABILITY. They are enacting harm reduction in a way I haven't seen from any other clinic. You don't have to be "clean" to get help. They will meet you where you are. Are they perfect? No, nothing is. But I'd like to say to the review complaining about having to go every day: would you rather go to the clean, safe clinic that is always there or spend your day hunting down a dealer who sells you something that might kill you? Your choice. They will get you help, they will get it paid for if possible and they will treat you very kindly. What else could you ask for? Save your own life.

My first week there I spent over $126 on Andrea the pregnant girl at her baby registry, I sent Dee as Zelle for $100, and I gave Angela a purple puff vest from Macy's. They all took my gifts and still treated me like****. Receptionist/Mgr Angela, acts like she's a nurse giving the orders, and the lead dispenser "D" states they couldn't function without her. I will PRAY for all three. . If you plan to succeed here, you, have to learn how to kiss both of their*****. I went back to clinics to stay a Real Nurse.

She has very practical experience in life and that always builds my confidence when it comes to a therapist. She's experienced and provides real feedback and shows genuine interest. I think there is nothing's better than feeling like you can speak to someone and they help you make changes in your life instead of talking to someone who you feel like you're just updating every week. In therapy, you want to make progress not a life long commitment to attending therapy and I believe she understands that and her motivation is in making people feel good and productive.

All of our sessions were over Zoom (thanks to Covid), but nonetheless she made the environment feel safe, open, and connected, as if she were right there with you. Talking to her is like talking to an unbiased trusted friend. She makes all parties involved feel respected and heard. She doesn't take sides, but finds a way to make everyone feel like they have valid concerns and gives communication strategies to help navigate through tough conversations or hot buttons in a relationship. She's the first therapist I've ever worked with who has given actionable tools to use in everyday situations, instead of just listening and saying she'll see me next week. If you show up open and ready to work to see results, I have no doubt you'll be thrilled with your experience. I HIGHLY recommend her!
