Alta Mira uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), experiential therapy, and trauma-focused therapies. Client's receive 2 individual therapy sessions each week, plus daily group sessions. A 4-day family program welcomes family members for intensive healing.

Their staff of masters or doctoral-level therapists, psychiatrists, and physicians ensure that clients then receive the best treatment for their unique needs. Alta Mira also incorporates multiple paths to recovery, like holistic, evidence-based, spiritual, and experiential treatments.
