Foundations San Francisco at a Glance
Foundations San Francisco treats substance use and mental health concerns together. The center lists care for alcohol, opioids and opiates, heroin, fentanyl, prescription drugs, benzodiazepines, cocaine, and methamphetamine. On the mental health side, it names depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, along with workplace stress. Co-occurring disorders are treated in the same plan rather than one at a time.
Therapy is mostly evidence-based. The center lists cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. Clients take part in individual, group, and family therapy, plus sessions on trauma, process addictions, and relapse prevention. IOP clients receive a psychiatric evaluation, and medication management is available when it fits the plan.
Foundations also adds a few whole-person services. The center lists massage therapy, meditation, and life skills training. Its office suite includes a community room and lounge, and it offers onsite parking. The space looks out over the bay, which the center describes as a calm place to focus on recovery.
Family involvement is part of treatment through family therapy sessions, which give loved ones a place to talk openly and learn how to help. After a program ends, the aftercare and alumni programs give clients a way to stay connected to peers and keep building support.
Foundations serves adults, and the center says it welcomes clients from all backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ community. Its addiction programs are described as gender-specific. Day and evening IOP schedules, along with virtual options, are meant to work for busy professionals who need to keep their jobs. This makes it a practical choice for people comparing drug and alcohol rehab in San Francisco while staying at home.
The center is in network with many insurers. It lists Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carelon, ComPsych, Kaiser, Magellan, MultiPlan, Prominence Health, TRICARE, UnitedHealthcare, and some employee assistance programs. Networks can change, so it is wise to verify benefits with admissions before starting. Foundations holds California Department of Health Care Services certification No. 380104BP, and its parent network lists it as accredited by The Joint Commission.
For people researching outpatient addiction and mental health care in San Francisco, Foundations San Francisco offers PHP, IOP, and outpatient care with dual diagnosis support in a downtown location.
