About MPI Treatment Services

The Merritt Peralta Institute (MPI) is a substance use and behavioral health treatment center that’s part of the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center owned by Sutter Health. MPI is located on Summit Street in Oakland, California, right off the 24 and the 580. They offer treatment for chemical dependency and co-occurring disorders. This includes inpatient and outpatient programs as well as inpatient detoxification for residents in the greater Bay Area.

They accept insurance from many providers, including TRICARE, Cigna, and Magellan Health Services Medicare Advantage.

Before detox, you’ll be given a thorough assessment. They’ll help you decide on the appropriate level of care based on your situation. They’ll work to identify any co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder so you can get the appropriate mental health treatment. If you need detox, then you’ll go to the acute inpatient medical detox program.

In detox, you’ll have around the clock monitoring from a trained, certified staff. During detox, you’ll be ridding your body of the toxic substances that it has become dependent on. Most people have some uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms while going through the detox process. You’ll be medically supported through your detox, and if you’re experiencing uncomfortable symptoms, you’ll be given medications to ease any discomfort.

After detox, most people stay in the residential program for up to a month, but some people move to an outpatient program. The facility offers both. During detox and the inpatient rehab program, you’ll have individual and group counseling.

Some therapies used are mindfulness therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and recreational therapy. CBT helps restore your thinking patterns to a better balance, replacing old negative thoughts with new, more positive thoughts. Recreation therapy includes art and pet therapy, drama therapy, and other therapies that help you learn to socialize, build your confidence, and reduce your mental health symptoms. Outdoor excursions to Lake Merritt and the nearby San Francisco Bay might also be doable to get you physically and mentally refreshed.

The hospital offers many programs to support you on your road to recovery. Detox is a good first step in the healing process, but to ensure continued sobriety, it’s advised to continue in treatment. You’ll leave the detox program with lots of resources to guide you.
