415-797-0842About Helen Vine Recovery Center
Helen Vine Recovery Center is a California residential detox and addiction treatment facility in San Rafael serving Marin County residents ages 18 and older. The program offers short term clinically managed detox, 30 to 90 day intensive residential treatment and connections to sober living homes for adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions.
Operated by Buckelew Programs, a nonprofit behavioral health organization, Helen Vine provides evidence based and nonjudgmental care tailored to each person’s recovery journey.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Helen Vine is the only center in the area that welcomes individuals with limited financial resources and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. The program combines social detox with intensive residential care that addresses both substance use and mental health needs in a supportive, integrated setting.
Treatment includes individual and group counseling, evidence based relapse prevention education, 12 step meetings, trauma informed support and wellness and life skills training. Clients receive 24 hour support and personalized programming in a residential environment with capacity for up to 30 adults. Former clients highlight the center’s genuine approach, noting they were treated as people who needed help rather than through a one size fits all lens.
Sober Living Support
Beyond residential treatment, Helen Vine connects clients to Buckelew’s sober living homes in Marin County for stays of up to one year. These transitional residences support individuals stepping down from intensive care or entering recovery with at least 90 days of sobriety, offering alumni support and community mentorship to sustain long term wellness.
Getting Started with Treatment
Helen Vine serves Marin County residents at its San Rafael location adjacent to a nature preserve, offering in person residential care with outdoor activities and therapeutic walks.
The center accepts Medi Cal and Kaiser, private pay and certain public agency referrals.

Levels of Care
-
Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
-
Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.
-
PHP
Partial hospitalization programs provide comprehensive treatment in a structured setting during the day but allow you to return home at night. These programs offer a balance of inpatient and outpatient rehab and provide intensive support without full time residency.
-
Aftercare
Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life.
-
Sober Living
Sober living homes provide a supportive and substance free environment for you to live in as you overcome your addiction. Residents must follow house rules and support each other's recovery journeys. Sober living fosters accountability and stability during this critical phase of recovery.
-
Intervention
An intervention is a structured and professionally guided conversation with an individual who is struggling with addiction. During the conversation, family and friends will encourage you to seek treatment. This is often a pivotal step for those resistant to getting help.
