About Us
Amar Recovery is an outpatient addiction and dual diagnosis treatment program in San Francisco, California, for adults who are ready to heal and who want to be treated as whole people while they do. We offer a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that combine evidence-based therapy with holistic care in a small, welcoming community. We built Amar for people who have felt overlooked by one-size-fits-all treatment, and for anyone who has ever been told they’re different. Here, differences are welcome.

Our Mission and Approach
Our mission is to provide safe, personalized, and compassionate treatment that helps people heal the root causes of substance use and reconnect with themselves and others.
Our approach is guided by a few core beliefs:
Every person is different
Treatment should be shaped around your history, identity, and goals, not a template.
Substance use has roots
Lasting recovery means addressing the trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression that often sit underneath it.
Safety comes first
Our trauma-informed care creates an environment where you can do difficult work at your own pace.
Healing involves the whole person
Evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT work alongside yoga, art therapy, breathwork, Reiki, qigong, and tapping.
Family matters
Recovery affects the people who love you, so family therapy is a core part of our program.
Who We Serve
Amar Recovery serves adult men and women whose primary concern is substance use, often alongside co-occurring mental health conditions. Many of our clients are:
01
Working professionals in San Francisco and the Bay Area, including those in tech and other demanding fields
02
Remote and hybrid workers whose drinking or drug use has become easier to hide
03
First-time treatment seekers who don’t know where to start
04
Members of the LGBTQ+ community looking for a safe, affirming place to heal
05
People living with trauma or grief who are ready to work through their past
Whatever brings you to us, you’ll find people who understand.
A Small Community Built on Connection
Addiction thrives in isolation. That’s why connection is at the heart of our program. We intentionally keep Amar Recovery small. With a limited number of clients at a time, our team gets to know you personally. Your therapists notice how you’re doing, celebrate your progress, and adjust your care as you grow. In group sessions, you’ll build real relationships with peers who are walking a similar path.
For many of our clients, this sense of belonging is one of the most powerful parts of recovery. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to go through this alone, and that you’re worth showing up for.
Our Location
Amar Recovery is located at 1564 Bush Street in San Francisco. Our facility offers a calm, comfortable setting with dedicated spaces for group therapy, individual sessions, and holistic practices.
Because we’re an outpatient program, you’ll attend treatment at our facility during scheduled hours and return home afterward, staying connected to your life, your loved ones, and your community.
