Bayside Marin believes that the opposite of addiction is connection, and we understand the importance of forming healthy emotional attachments. By meeting and bonding with peers who are empathetic and supportive, our alumni are able to develop strong social and interpersonal connections that are crucial to healing and long-term recovery. Bayside is proud of our close-knit alumni community who stay in close contact year after year.

Our Philosophy

We understand the daily challenges of maintaining sobriety and know that isolation can increase the risk of drug and alcohol relapse. As such, Bayside strives to provide our alumni with a sense of community, support, and belonging. Through group meetings, alumni have the opportunity to share their personal stories, connect with like-minded individuals, and offer help and support to others, which is one of the keys to sustaining long-term recovery.

Bayside Marin Continuing Care Services

The end of treatment is not the end of your relationship with Bayside. We will continue to be there to assist and support our alumni with their sobriety long after their discharge from treatment. Bayside is dedicated to helping alumni as they learn to live healthier, happier, and more fulfilled lives.

Bayside offers assistance in finding additional resources in your local area, such as 12-Step or other alternative support groups, in order to keep you on track.
Regular check-in emails to stay in touch and share Bayside facility news and events.

Recovery Choice® Outreach Program

Bayside offers a full year of intensive post-discharge support for all residential clients as part of our commitment to helping alumni achieve successful long-term recovery.

Follow-up calls with a Continuing Care Coordinator are every two weeks during the first year of post-residential care in order to check progress, offer support, and gather data regarding treatment outcomes.
Bayside will be checking in regularly to monitor your recovery by asking a set of core questions regarding your treatment after 30, 90, 180, 270, and 360 days.
- This confidential data is used to create meaningful outcome studies that measure and demonstrate the effectiveness of our services and improve our quality of care.
- We use this insight to ensure that our clients always have access to treatment and to strengthen the capabilities of the behavioral health workforce.
