About Ohlhoff Recovery Programs Skip Byron Primary
Ohlhoff Recovery Programs — operating out of 927 Irving St in San Francisco’s Inner Sunset neighborhood — is a state-licensed addiction treatment center serving adults, adolescents, men, women, and families affected by substance use disorder, alcohol addiction, and drug addiction. Licensed and certified by the California Department of Health Care Services, Ohlhoff holds a clear credential base for residents and families evaluating treatment options in San Francisco County. The center accepts most major private insurance plans as well as private pay, though it does not accept Medi-Cal or Medicare.
The facility offers a continuum of care that begins with non-medical detox and extends through inpatient treatment, long-term residential programming, intensive outpatient, outpatient, and continuing care. The inpatient program runs up to 30 days. For those needing longer-term support, Ohlhoff offers residential programs at three- and six-month durations — a relatively rare option in San Francisco’s treatment landscape. Intensive outpatient and standard outpatient tracks provide step-down options as clients transition out of residential care.
Ohlhoff’s program structure is built around a progression of care levels rather than a single-point intervention. Non-medical detox serves as the entry point for those who need supervised support before stepping into residential or outpatient programming. Continuing care is built into the model as a formal aftercare component, addressing the gap that often undermines long-term recovery after discharge. Intake inquiries can be directed by phone at (415) 575-1100 or by email at info@ohlhoff.org during weekday operating hours.
Ohlhoff serves a broad population — adults, adolescents, men, women, and families — making it one of the more inclusive facilities in San Francisco for multi-population treatment needs. The center’s range of residential program lengths, from 30-day inpatient to six-month long-term residential, gives families genuine flexibility when planning treatment. For those navigating private insurance coverage, Ohlhoff’s acceptance of most major private plans removes a common logistical barrier to accessing care.
