Muir Wood Adolescent and Family Services, established in 2013, provides Joint Commission-accredited residential treatment for teens ages 12-17 facing mental health, behavioral, and substance use challenges. Operating with a gender-separate approach, each of their 12 California locations serves a maximum of six adolescents, ensuring personalized attention within an intimate therapeutic environment. The Petaluma facility features modern, comfortable accommodations where teens participate in structured recovery while enjoying nutritious meals prepared by executive chefs and engaging in recreational activities including yoga, sports, and board games. Treatment begins with comprehensive psychological assessments conducted by a team of full-time, double-board-certified psychiatrists and licensed therapists. The program incorporates twice-weekly individual therapy, family support groups, and weekly intensive family sessions to foster healing within the entire family system. Muir Wood further enriches the therapeutic experience through experiential modalities including adventure therapy, hiking, art, music, and mindfulness practices. Academic progress remains a priority at Muir Wood, with WASC-accredited educational support for students in grades 7-12. Academic staff coordinate with teens' home schools to maintain educational continuity, providing over three hours of structured schoolwork daily during the school year, with virtual learning options available. The Petaluma location benefits from its proximity to natural attractions like Point Reyes National Park and the redwoods of Muir Woods, incorporating these healing environments into recovery outings. Muir Wood accepts most private insurance plans, including Cigna, Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Kaiser, MHN, Magellan, Halcyon, and Optum.
