About Our Treatment

Our comprehensive treatment programs provide our clients with the tools they need to lead healthy and happy lives. We believe in individualized treatment planning with the focus on long term recovery. We accomplish this through the most up-to-date treatment modalities available. Giving support, educational materials and new coping skills allows our clients to feel healthy and positive as they move through their recovery process. Our program is also helpful for clients stepping down from inpatient care who would like to have continued treatment and support to assist them in their recovery process.

Skilled clinicians welcome the LGBT Community

La Ventana welcomes members of the LGBT community to our treatment programs. In particular, our San Francisco treatment team includes skilled clinicians who provide culturally competent care for LGBT adults and teens.
