Treatment programs at BHS Rehab San Francisco

Our Treatment Programs

BHS Rehab's San Francisco treatment center provides a full continuum of addiction care — from medically-supervised detox through residential treatment, outpatient programs, and long-term aftercare support.

Comprehensive Treatment at Every Stage

Every patient's recovery path is unique. BHS Rehab offers multiple levels of care so your treatment plan matches your specific needs and circumstances.

Safe, Supervised Detoxification

Medical detox at BHS Rehab typically lasts 3–7 days, depending on the substance, duration of use, and individual health factors. Our 24/7 medical team in San Francisco monitors every patient's progress and adjusts treatment to ensure safety and comfort throughout the withdrawal process.

Why Medical Supervision Matters

Withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other substances can be dangerous — even life-threatening — without proper medical oversight. At our treatment center, board-certified physicians and registered nurses provide around-the-clock care, utilizing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to ease symptoms and prevent complications.

Our Detox Process

1

Comprehensive Assessment

Medical evaluation, substance use history, mental health screening, and vitals monitoring upon arrival at our facility.

2

Medical Stabilization

Individualized medication protocols to manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and ensure physical safety.

3

Transition to Treatment

Seamless transition into residential or outpatient programming once medically cleared for ongoing care.

Immersive Inpatient Recovery

Residential treatment at BHS Rehab lasts 30 to 90 days, providing an immersive, structured environment where patients live at our San Francisco facility and receive intensive daily therapy. This level of care is ideal for individuals who need full-time support to overcome addiction.

What is Residential Treatment?

During residential care, patients reside at our treatment center and participate in a structured daily schedule of individual therapy, group sessions, skill-building workshops, and recreational activities. Removing patients from their everyday environment allows them to focus entirely on recovery without external triggers.

Flexible Recovery Without Leaving Life Behind

BHS Rehab's outpatient programs in San Francisco offer structured treatment while allowing patients to maintain work, school, and family commitments.

Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

PHP runs 2–4 weeks with sessions 5–6 days per week, 5–6 hours per day. This level provides near-residential intensity while patients return home or to sober living in the evenings. PHP at BHS Rehab includes daily group therapy, individual counseling, psychiatric monitoring, and skill-building workshops.

Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

IOP runs 8–12 weeks with sessions 3–5 days per week, 3 hours per session. IOP is ideal for patients stepping down from residential or PHP, or those with moderate addiction who need structured support. BHS Rehab's IOP includes group therapy, relapse prevention training, and ongoing counseling.

Standard Outpatient

Ongoing weekly sessions for patients in sustained recovery. Includes individual therapy, check-ins, and connection to community support resources. Standard outpatient at BHS Rehab ensures long-term accountability and continued growth.

Integrated Mental Health & Addiction Treatment

Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. At BHS Rehab, our San Francisco clinical team understands that addiction rarely exists in isolation — many patients also struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or other mental health challenges.

Why Integrated Treatment Matters

Treating addiction without addressing underlying mental health conditions often leads to relapse. Our integrated approach ensures both conditions receive equal clinical attention, with coordinated psychiatric care, therapy, and medication management working together for lasting recovery.

Mental Health Conditions We Treat

  • Major Depression — Persistent sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest
  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder — Chronic worry, tension, panic attacks
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) — Trauma-related flashbacks, avoidance, hypervigilance
  • Bipolar Disorder — Mood episodes, mania, depressive cycles
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) — Intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors
  • Personality Disorders — Borderline, antisocial, and other patterns
