About

About Muir Wood Adolescent and Family Servs

Muir Wood Adolescent and Family Servs is located at 1733 Skillman Lane in Petaluma, California. The program serves adolescents ages 12 to 17, with gender-specific residential treatment and intensive outpatient (IOP) programming designed exclusively for teens rather than adapted from adult models. The Sonoma County campus is part of a broader network that includes Skillman and Penngrove campuses in Northern California, plus Makena and Auberry campuses in Central California (Clovis area) and Edgewild and Bradley Ranch campuses in Southern California (Riverside).

Clinical care addresses depression, anxiety, substance use, bipolar disorder, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, disordered eating, and dual-diagnosis presentations. The treatment team includes board-certified psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, educators, and recovery counselors who specialize exclusively in adolescent care. Muir Wood’s early reputation was built on dual-diagnosis expertise, grounded in a broader trauma-informed mental health foundation. Maura Sangster, BS, CADC II, ICADC, serves as Director of Admissions, guiding families through the intake process.

Muir Wood is accredited by the Joint Commission and operates within California’s licensing framework for adolescent residential treatment. The program is in-network with most major commercial insurers, including TRICARE, and accepts private insurance and self-pay. Muir Wood does not currently accept Medicaid or Medi-Cal, so families relying on public insurance should explore other options. Insurance verification and admissions specialists are available by phone.

Days at Muir Wood are structured around therapy, education, and restorative outdoor experiences in nature-rich Sonoma County. Evenings in supportive, home-like residences let teens reset between sessions. Muir Wood Learning Centers provide academic continuity so school progress isn’t lost during treatment. Family programming is core to the model, with parents and caregivers engaged from admission through transition home. The IOP program in Petaluma operates 3-4 afternoons per week, providing step-down support or a less intensive alternative to residential care.

Medical Detox Programs for Adolescents

Muir Wood provides medically supervised detox services specifically designed for adolescent patients requiring withdrawal management. The facility operates 24 hours daily with continuous medical oversight, ensuring safe detoxification protocols for teenage patients experiencing withdrawal symptoms from various substances.

Their inpatient detox programs address the unique medical needs of adolescents during withdrawal, with specialized protocols that account for developmental differences in how young people process detoxification. Medical staff monitor vital signs, manage withdrawal symptoms, and provide medication-assisted interventions when clinically appropriate for teen patients.

Residential Treatment and Intensive Outpatient Services

Following medical detox, adolescents can transition into residential treatment programs that continue withdrawal management while addressing underlying addiction issues. The residential program provides structured therapeutic programming in home-like settings, allowing teens to focus on recovery while receiving ongoing medical supervision.

Their intensive outpatient program serves adolescents who have completed initial detox but require continued support. This level of care provides regular medical monitoring and therapeutic interventions while allowing teens to maintain family and educational connections during their recovery process.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Co-occurring Disorders

Muir Wood specializes in treating adolescents with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders during detox and ongoing treatment. Many teens requiring withdrawal management also struggle with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or trauma-related conditions that complicate the detoxification process.

The facility's dual diagnosis approach ensures that both substance withdrawal and mental health symptoms receive simultaneous treatment. This integrated model prevents the common cycle where untreated mental health issues lead to relapse after completing detox programs, providing more comprehensive care for adolescent patients.

Insurance Coverage and Admission Process

The facility accepts multiple insurance types including TRICARE, Medicaid, and private insurance plans, making medical detox accessible for military families and others seeking adolescent withdrawal management services. Self-pay options are also available for families without insurance coverage.

Their 24/7 operations allow for immediate admission when teens require urgent medical detox, and their specialized focus on adolescent populations ensures age-appropriate care throughout the withdrawal management process.
