Sonoma Recovery Services - Olympia House

Olympia House, located in Petaluma, California, offers comprehensive residential and outpatient rehabilitation services for individuals struggling with alcohol and substance addictions. The facility provides a serene, rural environment that promotes healing and recovery, combining detoxification, medication-assisted treatment, and counseling tailored to the specific needs of each client.

The detox process at Olympia House is medically supervised, ensuring clients receive medications like buprenorphine and methadone to alleviate withdrawal symptoms safely. During detox, clients are monitored closely to prevent any risks, such as overdose, while also receiving counseling to initiate their recovery journey. By managing cravings and discomfort, the detox process aims to be as smooth and supportive as possible.

Once detox is complete, clients transition into a deeper phase of recovery that involves intensive counseling and self-reflection. The goal is to help individuals not only break their habits but also to explore the underlying motivations behind their substance use. This therapeutic approach allows clients to form healthier coping mechanisms for dealing with triggers. The residential program at Olympia House offers a variety of therapeutic activities, including yoga, gardening, and caring for farm animals. Clients also have the option to participate in 12-Step groups or seek relationship counseling, such as marital support. With just 32 beds, the facility fosters a tight-knit community where clients support each other in their recovery process.

For those who need more flexibility, Olympia House provides an outpatient program that meets three times per week, from 9 am to noon. This program allows clients to continue their recovery journey while remaining connected to their family and community. The focus is on developing life skills that support a healthy daily routine and reduce the reliance on substances.

Situated on 140 acres of scenic agricultural land in West Sonoma County, Olympia House offers a peaceful setting with walking trails and natural wildlife, providing residents ample opportunity to reflect and reconnect with nature. The facility emphasizes a holistic approach to recovery, incorporating wholesome meals—including vegan options—and a variety of private amenities to create a comfortable, peaceful, and nourishing environment. Recreational activities, exercise options, meditation, and individual, family, and group therapies are all integral to the center’s recovery philosophy, which encourages clients to rediscover their self-esteem and purpose.
