Muir Wood Adolescent and Family Services

Muir Wood Adolescent & Family Services is a gender-specific, residential treatment program designed specifically for boys age 12-17 suffering from substance abuse and co-occurring issues. Located on six acres in beautiful Sonoma County, California, our six-bed campus provides adolescent boys a safe and structured environment to explore sensitive underlying issues within a highly credentialed clinical setting. The gender-specific environment invites teen boys to build strong peer support essential in early recovery. “We create the conditions that allow boys to feel valued, engaged, and willing to begin a life free of drugs and alcohol.” In designing the most effective treatment program for adolescent boys, we understand that the treatment needs of boys and girls differ significantly. Our treatment approach combines an exceptional clinical team and treatment practices with other proven therapeutic and experiential modalities. Based on evidence supporting gender-specific residential adolescent treatment, our philosophy emphasizes kindness and respect over confrontation or control. We create the conditions that allow boys to feel valued, engaged and willing to begin a productive life in recovery.
