About

About Ohlhoff Recovery Programs Skip Byron Primary

Ohlhoff Recovery Programs, located at 601 Steiner Street in San Francisco’s Alamo Square neighborhood, is a licensed substance use treatment facility operating under California Department of Health Care Services certification. Serving individuals across San Francisco and Northern California, the program operates on the historic Henry Ohlhoff House campus — a structured, sober environment that has become a recognized name in Bay Area addiction treatment. The facility treats drug dependency alongside co-occurring disorders and trauma/PTSD, addressing the full clinical picture that often complicates withdrawal and recovery.

The continuum of care at Ohlhoff begins with medical detox — the supervised withdrawal management program that provides the clinical foundation for what follows. Inpatient detox runs up to 30 days, giving the medical team adequate time to stabilize patients before transitioning them forward. Residential treatment is available at either a 3-month or 6-month duration, depending on clinical need. An outpatient program rounds out the levels of care, offering a step-down option for those who have completed more intensive treatment or who require a less restrictive starting point.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used at Ohlhoff, and the program addresses co-occurring disorders and trauma/PTSD alongside drug dependency — recognizing that unresolved psychological conditions are frequently intertwined with substance use. The continuing care program extends support beyond the primary treatment episode, providing a structured framework for the transition out of residential or inpatient care. Patients are treated within a safe, structured, sober environment on the historic Henry Ohlhoff House campus.

Ohlhoff serves a notably broad range of populations: adults, young adults (18–25), seniors, men, women, veterans, pregnant women, adolescents, individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, and those entering treatment through court order. The program accepts most major private insurance plans, self-pay, and private pay. Notably, Ohlhoff is unable to accept Medi-Cal, so prospective patients relying on public coverage should call ahead to discuss private payment options. For anyone in San Francisco or Northern California weighing a medically supervised detox program with a full residential continuum behind it, Ohlhoff represents one of the most complete options in the region.

  • Medical detox with inpatient stays up to 30 days — one of the longer supervised withdrawal windows available in San Francisco
  • Full continuum from medical detox through 3- or 6-month residential treatment to outpatient — all under one licensed program
  • Treats co-occurring disorders and trauma/PTSD alongside drug dependency, not just the substance use in isolation
  • Serves a wide clinical population including veterans, pregnant women, adolescents, seniors, and court-ordered individuals
  • Licensed and certificated by the California Department of Health Care Services for both residential and outpatient programs

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in San Francisco

Ohlhoff Recovery Programs provides medical detox as the entry point for patients requiring supervised withdrawal management in San Francisco. The inpatient detox program runs up to 30 days — a window that allows clinical staff to monitor and manage withdrawal safely before patients move into the next phase of care. For individuals dealing with drug dependency complicated by co-occurring disorders or trauma, having medically supervised detox embedded within a larger treatment continuum matters significantly.

The program is licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services (license 380013AN for residential), and its detox and inpatient services are conducted on the historic Henry Ohlhoff House campus at 601 Steiner Street. Patients seeking medically supervised detox in San Francisco or anywhere in Northern California can reach the admissions team at (877) 677-4543, Monday through Thursday 10 a.m.–6 p.m. and Friday 10 a.m.–5 p.m.

Residential Treatment and Outpatient Programs

Beyond medical detox, Ohlhoff operates residential treatment programs at two durations: 3 months and 6 months. This flexibility allows the clinical team to match program length to the severity of a patient's dependency and the complexity of any co-occurring conditions such as PTSD or dual diagnosis. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is incorporated into the treatment approach, targeting the thought patterns and behavioral cycles that sustain substance use.

An outpatient program is also available for those stepping down from residential care or those whose circumstances call for a less intensive starting level. A continuing care program extends support after primary treatment ends, providing structure during the transition back to everyday life. The full continuum — detox, residential, outpatient, continuing care — is available through a single licensed provider, which simplifies coordination across the levels of care.

Who Ohlhoff Serves and How to Pay

Ohlhoff accepts a broad clinical population. Veterans, pregnant women, young adults (18–25), seniors, men, women, adolescents, individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs, and those entering treatment through court order are all among the populations the program is equipped to serve. Co-occurring disorders and trauma/PTSD are treated alongside drug dependency, making the program appropriate for patients whose substance use intersects with significant mental health history.

On the payment side, Ohlhoff accepts most major private insurance plans, self-pay, and private pay. The program is unable to accept Medi-Cal. Prospective patients who do not see their insurance listed should call the facility directly to discuss private payment options — the admissions line is (877) 677-4543, or inquiries can be sent to info@ohlhoff.org.

Ohlhoff Recovery Programs draws patients from across San Francisco and the broader Northern California region.
