About Live Oaks Wellness
Set amid the hills of Marin County near San Francisco, Live Oaks provides compassionate, client-focused care that guides every aspect of treatment. Live Oaks specializes in helping people with substance use disorders find a way out of the cycle of drugs and alcohol through empathy, skill, and steady support. They offer medically assisted detox along with residential programming, and their small, welcoming environment ensures that each client receives individualized, attentive care.
A central goal at Live Oaks is getting to know each person fully—meeting them where they are and supporting their whole well-being: mind, body, and spirit. The residential approach pairs medically assisted detox with evidence-based therapies designed to reach the root of addictive behaviors. Clients may participate in somatic therapy, yoga, fitness activities, art therapy, and equine therapy alongside traditional treatment methods, helping them rebuild trust in their bodies and work through difficult emotions in a safe, grounded way. Rather than relying only on seated conversation, the program encourages clients to actively participate in healing through movement, breath, and experiential practices.
Comfort plays an important role in recovery at Live Oaks Wellness. With only six beds, the setting remains calm, warm, and personal. Each person is provided a private room with comfortable details that create a sense of home. An on-site chef prepares nourishing meals to support physical and mental well-being, while yoga and personal fitness help clients recharge throughout their stay.
