Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

Our Common Ground offers residential treatment for adults with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Their program is based on a Strengths-Based Therapeutic Community model. This structured and supportive environment encourages residents to build healthy behaviors, take responsibility for change, and grow alongside peers through shared recovery experiences. Treatment includes individual and group sessions, recovery planning, and services designed to help residents manage emotions, develop boundaries, and rebuild self-esteem. The program focuses on relationships, accountability, and daily routines that support emotional and behavioral growth. All services are provided within a community-based, peer-supported setting led by experienced staff. Although specific room or amenity details are not provided, the residential setting supports healing through structure and community. With facilities in East Palo Alto and Redwood City, the program gives clients access to a consistent, recovery-centered space where they live, participate in programming, and engage in peer support throughout their stay.
