What Makes Foundations San Francisco Different?
Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is treatment.
At Foundations San Francisco, we take the time to understand your unique experiences, goals and challenges before developing your individualized treatment plan. Our experienced clinicians provide evidence-based care that addresses both symptoms and the underlying factors contributing to mental health and substance use disorders.
Our philosophy is built on several guiding principles:
- Clinically sound, evidence-based treatment
- Compassionate, individualized care
- A welcoming and inclusive environment
- Prompt assessments and responsive admissions
- Flexible outpatient programming
- Accountability, commitment and measurable progress
- Integrated treatment for mental health and substance use disorders
We believe lasting recovery comes from treating the whole person, not simply managing symptoms.
When clinically appropriate, patients have access to psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication management to help stabilize symptoms and support recovery. We take an integrated approach to your treatment, which may include individual therapy, group therapy, psychoeducation, family involvement, treatment planning and ongoing progress monitoring.
Our goal is simple: help every patient develop the skills, confidence and support needed to build a healthier future.
