About Mills Health Center

If you’re looking for a drug and alcohol rehab center in San Mateo, California, you can go to Mills-Peninsula Addiction Treatment. It’s part of the Sutter Health’s Mills-Peninsula Medical Center. They help adolescents, adults, and seniors with both addiction and mental health disorders.

You’ll stay in the hospital to detox under the close supervision of addiction specialists. They’ll monitor your symptoms and give you medication as needed. The detox process usually takes between three and five days. Don’t worry about being isolated, though. The facility is close to the exquisite San Mateo Japanese Gardens. If being out in nature feeds your soul, make sure you plan a supervised walk in the gardens to celebrate completing a stage of your recovery.

If you’re not ready to move to part time treatment after detox, you can stay on for inpatient rehabilitation. This stage takes two to seven days to complete and involves counseling, therapy and onsite recovery groups. You’ll learn to manage stress and be trained to be assertive in situations that might threaten your recovery. From here you’ll either move on to another live in program or join the outpatient sessions at Mills-Peninsula.

San Mateo offers many healthy activities that you can do as part of your sober lifestyle. Consider hiking the 12-mile, tree-lined Sawyer Camp Trail. Exercise is essential in recovery as it helps you feel good. Exercising in nature has an additional benefit as you’re breathing in fresh air and enjoying being outside. Part of your recovery includes family counseling. Consider planning family outings to places like this to help you reconnect and have fun together.
