The Three Cornerstones of Our Program

I have been to multiple treatment centers over the past ten years. Alta Mira was the first to accurately diagnose my PTSD.

–Brian G., Alta Mira Alumnus

Getting to the right diagnosis brought me comfort, knowledge, and a clear path forward. I am forever grateful.

–Michael W., Alta Mira Alumnus

Addiction often occurs in individuals who also have a mental health issue that has not been properly identified, diagnosed, or treated, making recovery challenging.

Alta Mira’s experienced and highly credentialed clinical specialists set the standard for excellence in providing neuropsychological and psychological assessment in addiction treatment, which includes psychological, neuropsychological, cognitive, and personality testing. Continued testing and assessment throughout treatment allows us to accurately measure your progress and suggest course corrections as needed.

Our approach provides for the most accurate diagnosis possible, enabling our team to customize an effective treatment plan to fit your unique needs and goals, providing a pathway to a more authentic, productive, and healthy life.

Robust Differential Diagnosis Means We Get to the Root Cause

• Properly diagnose and treat an extensive range of illnesses and disorders that may be contributing to your substance abuse

• Create a personalized medication strategy for you and make appropriate adjustments during your course of treatment

• Identify and work on any interpersonal issues that might become obstacles to your progress in treatment

• Present you with testing results and recommendations so you can better understand your treatment and path to recovery

Psychological Testing Enables Us To:

When clients first walk through our doors, many of them are unaware they may have an untreated mental health issue which is contributing to their struggle with addiction. Treating the symptoms of the addiction alone may not lead to lasting recovery if the co-occurring disorder remains unrecognized and untreated. Through our comprehensive testing, assessment, and evaluation process, we arrive at an accurate diagnosis. This enables us to identify and address any underlying and co-occurring disorders, so that you may find a manageable path to sobriety and recovery.

Our Treatment Specialties

Agency is a core concept in psychotherapy that refers to the sense of oneself as the agent of their own actions. Your personal agency is measured by your capacity to exercise control over the nature and quality of your life.

At Alta Mira, we believe that the ability to take action, be effective, influence your life, and assume responsibility for your behavior are essential for sustained recovery. By strengthening your sense of self in these areas, it enhances your ability to intentionally influence your functioning, environment, and life while assuming responsibility for your actions.

Our clinical team starts by working with you to identify your strengths and build on them. This allows us to empower and cultivate your individual sense of personal agency and self-efficacy, leading to deeper insights, greater confidence, and stronger self-determination. Through the creation of healthy relationships within our therapeutic community, the acquisition of new skills to cope with life’s adversities, and the integration of specific strategies to aid in achieving your individual goals, we help you develop the foundation for increased resilience and a transformative treatment outcome.

Gain Control of Your Life Through Cultivating Personal Agency

Alta Mira provides an amazing environment to learn about yourself and approach living sober from all aspects of your life–mind, body and spirit. The comprehensive therapy has enabled me to understand myself better and specifically pinpoint the issues surrounding my previous attempts at recovery.
