Our Story and Mission
Founded on the belief that every person deserves a path to recovery, our treatment center has served the Sunnyvale, California community for over a decade.
How We Began
SLMD Addiction Treatment was established to fill a critical need for high-quality, accessible addiction recovery services in the Bay Area. Our founders saw too many individuals struggling with substance use disorder without access to personalized, on-site care. They opened the doors of our Sunnyvale campus with a clear purpose: provide a safe, healing environment where recovery becomes possible.
Our Core Values
We believe in treating each person with dignity and respect. Our facility is guided by compassion, clinical excellence, and a commitment to individualized treatment. Every member of our on-site team works together to create a supportive atmosphere within our therapy offices, group rooms, and outdoor spaces. We value transparency, community partnership, and long-term wellness above all else.
Our Approach to Treatment
Our facility uses evidence-based treatment modalities tailored to each individual. We combine clinical expertise with whole-person wellness to support lasting recovery.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Our on-site therapists use CBT to help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to substance use disorder. Sessions take place in private therapy offices at our campus.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT equips individuals with skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Our clinical team provides structured DBT sessions on-site throughout the week.
Group Therapy
Group sessions in our dedicated group rooms foster peer support and shared learning. Individuals gain strength from connecting with others who understand their experience.
Individual Therapy
