About MTR Rehab

A dedicated addiction treatment center serving Livermore and the greater Tri-Valley region with compassionate, evidence-based care.

Our Story

MTR Rehab was established in Livermore, California by a group of behavioral health professionals and individuals in long-term recovery who recognized a critical gap in the region's continuum of care. Too many families in the Tri-Valley area were watching their loved ones struggle without access to high-quality, medically supervised addiction treatment close to home. We opened our doors determined to change that reality.

From our very first day, our treatment center has been built on a simple but powerful conviction: every person who walks through our doors deserves individualized, dignified, and clinically rigorous care. We designed our facility at 160 S J St to feel less like a hospital and more like a place where genuine healing could begin — combining medical expertise with the warmth of a supportive community.

Today, MTR Rehab stands as one of Livermore's most trusted addiction treatment centers, having guided hundreds of individuals and families through the recovery process. Our campus continues to grow, but our founding commitment has never wavered: to deliver transformative care one patient at a time, with honesty, compassion, and clinical excellence at every step.

Our Treatment Philosophy

At MTR Rehab, we view addiction as a complex, chronic brain disorder — not a moral failing or a weakness of character. This clinical understanding shapes every aspect of our treatment center's approach. We combine the best practices of addiction medicine with behavioral health science to treat the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

Each patient who enters our facility receives a comprehensive clinical assessment that informs a personalized treatment plan. We reject one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, our multidisciplinary team collaborates to integrate medical stabilization, psychotherapy, family systems work, and holistic wellness practices into a cohesive plan tailored to each individual's unique history, co-occurring conditions, and personal goals.

We also believe deeply in the power of community. At our campus in Livermore, patients are never alone in their recovery. Peer support, group therapy, and family programming create a web of connection that extends far beyond the walls of our treatment center and supports lasting sobriety in the real world.

Treatment Modalities

Our clinical team employs a comprehensive range of evidence-based and holistic treatment methods at our Livermore facility.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps patients identify and restructure the thought patterns that drive addictive behaviors, building practical coping skills for long-term sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness — skills proven critical for those with co-occurring mood disorders.

Group Therapy

Facilitated daily group sessions foster peer accountability, shared experience, and the therapeutic benefits of community that reduce isolation in recovery.

Individual Counseling

One-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians provide a private space to explore trauma, personal triggers, and individualized relapse prevention strategies.

Family Therapy

Addiction affects the whole family. Our family program includes structured sessions, education, and coaching to help loved ones heal together and build supportive home environments.

12-Step Integration

We integrate 12-Step principles and facilitate peer meetings on campus, helping patients connect with a broader recovery community that provides ongoing support after discharge.

Holistic Wellness

Yoga, meditation, art therapy, fitness training, and nutrition counseling complement our clinical programming, addressing physical wellness as an essential foundation of lasting recovery.

Continuum of Care

MTR Rehab guides each patient through a structured, stepwise recovery journey — from initial contact through long-term aftercare support.

Initial Assessment

A confidential clinical evaluation determines the appropriate level of care, identifies co-occurring conditions, and begins the personalized treatment planning process.

Medical Detox

Under 24/7 physician supervision at our facility, patients safely withdraw from substances with medication-assisted protocols that minimize discomfort and medical risk.

Residential Treatment

Immersive, structured care at our Livermore campus combines intensive therapy, peer community, and daily wellness programming in a safe, substance-free environment.

Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

PHP bridges residential and outpatient care, providing full clinical programming during the day while patients begin practicing recovery skills in their daily lives.

Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

Our IOP allows patients to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities while attending structured therapy sessions multiple days per week at our treatment center.

Aftercare & Alumni

Discharge planning, alumni support groups, sober living referrals, and ongoing case management ensure that recovery continues well beyond the walls of our facility.

Therapeutic & Clinical Spaces

Beyond living quarters, our treatment center houses a full suite of clinical environments designed to support every modality in our therapeutic repertoire. Group therapy rooms are arranged to encourage open, trusting dialogue. Individual counseling offices are private and soundproofed. Our medical wing is equipped with modern monitoring technology and a fully stocked pharmacy dispensary to ensure safe, supervised detox and medication management.

Our art therapy room and yoga studio were designed by practitioners in those disciplines to optimize the therapeutic experience. The meditation garden provides a natural, tranquil outdoor setting that research has shown significantly reduces cortisol levels and supports emotional regulation — an essential component of early recovery.

Nutrition & Dining

Physical nourishment is a foundational part of recovery. Long-term substance use frequently leads to nutritional deficiencies, disrupted appetite, and compromised metabolic health. At MTR Rehab, our culinary team prepares balanced, gourmet meals three times daily using fresh, whole-food ingredients. Every menu is developed in collaboration with our registered dietitian to ensure patients are receiving the nutrients their bodies need to repair and rebuild.

We accommodate dietary restrictions including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and medically indicated diets. Snacks are available throughout the day, and our kitchen staff takes pride in creating meals that patients genuinely look forward to — a small but meaningful contribution to daily morale and wellbeing on our campus.

  • Three chef-prepared meals daily
  • Dietitian-reviewed menus
  • Dietary accommodation for all needs
  • Nutritional counseling sessions
  • Healthy snacks available throughout the day

Recovery Stories

Hear from individuals and families whose lives were changed at MTR Rehab's Livermore treatment center.

I had been to two other treatment programs before I arrived at MTR Rehab in Livermore, and I honestly didn't believe anything was going to work for me. What was different here was how personal everything felt — my therapist actually knew my history, my triggers, my family situation. The residential program at their facility gave me the structure I desperately needed, and for the first time in years I felt like the staff genuinely cared whether I made it. I am now 14 months sober and I credit MTR Rehab with giving me the tools and the belief that I could do this. I tell everyone I know who is struggling to call them.

Going through detox is terrifying, and I was so afraid of the physical withdrawal. The medical team at MTR Rehab's facility made that process so much more manageable than I expected. They monitored me constantly, adjusted my medications, and checked in on me as a person — not just a patient chart. Moving directly from detox into their residential program felt seamless, and I never felt dropped or forgotten at any stage. I left Livermore feeling stronger than I had in over a decade.

Medical Detox & Residential Treatment — Livermore, CA

I chose MTR Rehab's Intensive Outpatient Program because I couldn't take extended time away from my job, and I was skeptical that part-time treatment would be enough. I was wrong to be skeptical. The IOP at their Livermore campus is rigorous — three days a week of real therapeutic work, not just checking a box. My counselor helped me build a concrete relapse prevention plan, and the group therapy sessions gave me relationships with people who understood what I was going through in a way my coworkers and friends couldn't. It wasn't easy, but it worked. Eight months clean and still going to alumni check-ins at the facility.

Jordan K.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — Livermore, CA

For years, I self-medicated depression and PTSD with alcohol, and every treatment program I tried treated the addiction without ever really addressing what was underneath it. MTR Rehab was the first treatment center that sat down with me, ran a proper dual diagnosis assessment, and built a plan that included psychiatric medication management alongside the addiction counseling. The difference was night and day. I finally understood why I drank the way I did, and I finally had the clinical support to address the root causes. The therapists at their Livermore facility are exceptionally skilled, and the integration of holistic practices — particularly the yoga and meditation programming — helped me reconnect with my own body in a way I hadn't experienced since before my trauma. MTR Rehab did not just treat my addiction; they helped me understand and rebuild myself.

Rebecca M.
Dual Diagnosis & Residential Treatment — Livermore, CA

As a parent watching my son struggle for three years, I felt completely helpless. MTR Rehab in Livermore brought our family into the process in a way no other program had. The family therapy sessions helped me understand addiction as a medical condition rather than a choice, and for the first time our family had a counselor helping us communicate without the anger and blame that had poisoned so many conversations. My son is doing beautifully, and honestly, so am I. We are both different people because of the work we did at that treatment center, and I am endlessly grateful to the entire team.
