Recovery Without Walls®

Leading pain management and alcohol expert Dr. Howard Kornfeld presents at University of California at Mount Zion, Pain management Center, Symposium on the Challenges of Managing Pain. Please review the press release and the slide show associated with the presentation.

Dr. Kornfeld's background and philosophy play a critical role in the way he looks at the practice of medicine and the how he works with his patients."

Recovery Without Walls is about action.

Recovery Without Walls is an exclusive and personalized approach to the treatment of addiction and pain that does not require the traditional 28 day residential stay. Utilizing round-the-clock caregivers over a "over a 4-6 day period" the most recent advances in medical detoxification protocols and cutting-edge psychopharmacology, as well as clinically targeted nutritional supplementation, Dr. Kornfeld is able to move most cases to an out-patient status within a few days. We join the very best of the medically based treatment model with a remarkable array of cross-cultural practitioners and professionals.

Recovery Without Walls is about place.

Addiction to alcohol or drugs is a life threatening, life limiting activity. Dr. Kornfeld and his associates are committed to expanding life's experiences in all their diversity. Our program is built around our commitment to these life experiences, and our location is an extension of that belief. Mill Valley, California is an astonishingly beautiful small Marin County town. Nestled in a redwood grove just 10 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge, Mill Valley offers intimate restaurants, wonderful book stores and coffee houses, unique gift shops, innovative theater venues, great hiking on glorious Mt.Tamalpais and a 25 minute drive to the Pacific Ocean.

What does this have to do with recovery? Everything. We want our patients to start living their lives again; engaging their minds and their senses. Seeing, tasting and experiencing all life has to offer. We encourage our out-of-town patients to explore as much of our wonderful town and surrounding Marin County as possible while you are with us. You will excite your senses, expand your horizons and begin to live again. We hope you will find that not only doesn't recovery have to have walls; life's experience doesn't have to have them either. Come. Join us. Learn to live again. Rebuild your family. Recover your life.

Recovery Without Walls is about empowerment.

In the Recovery Without Walls program you will establish the basis for a strong, committed, personal recovery without the requirement of a lengthy in-patient treatment stay. Patients learn to build a support system in their own community immediately, recognizing that work and family stresses will be a challenge as well as a strength. Continuing care becomes a seamless part of the treatment process rather then an afterthought. Our philosophy is to work with you, not on you. We believe that spirit is at the heart of recovery. We are committed to assisting our patients in finding their true spirit. Once found, this spirit can accomplish astonishing things.
