About us
Bayside Marin Treatment Center, located in the serene landscape of San Rafael, California, stands as a premier provider of addiction and mental health treatment for adults. Nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of Northern California, Bayside Marin offers a comprehensive range of services, including mental health assessments, detoxification, residential rehabilitation, outpatient treatment, and a supportive alumni program.
At Bayside Marin, mental health assessment and counseling serve as the cornerstone of their treatment approach. Experienced clinicians conduct thorough evaluations to assess the presence of substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Collaboratively working with each client, they craft individualized treatment plans that may encompass a blend of individual, group, and family counseling to address the unique needs of each participant.
For those beginning their recovery journey, Bayside Marin offers a medically supervised inpatient detoxification program. This seven-day program provides 24-hour medical support, ensuring a safe and comfortable detox process from drugs and alcohol. Following detox, clients are encouraged to transition into either the residential treatment program or the intensive outpatient program, depending on their specific needs and progress.
The residential addiction treatment program at Bayside Marin is designed to facilitate sustained recovery by integrating evidence-based interventions with alternative therapies. Clients engage in a holistic treatment regimen that includes individual and group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, life skills workshops, yoga, meditation, educational classes, acupuncture, and family education. This comprehensive approach aims to heal not just the body but also the mind and spirit.
For those who require more flexibility, the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a structured yet adaptable treatment option. Clients participate in individual and group sessions four days a week, with morning or evening schedules to accommodate their needs. The IOP also includes individualized treatment planning, counseling, holistic therapies, family education, self-help groups, and a focus on aftercare to support long-term recovery.
Bayside Marin is situated in one of the most picturesque settings in Northern California, with two properties that enhance the healing experience. The Mountainside property offers panoramic bayside views, while the Canyonside property provides a tranquil forest hillside retreat overlooking a scenic valley. This environment, combined with the dedication of a world-class treatment team, ensures that clients receive clinical excellence in addressing both addiction and co-occurring disorders.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing.
