Progress Foundation

Progress Foundation in San Francisco accepts adults as young as 21 all the way up to seniors 65 and older, offering a wide range of services for those who need help with mental health, addiction, and daily living, so you'll find places like Carroll House and Rypins House in the Seniors Program, both smaller six-bed homes meant to feel a bit more familiar than big institutions, while the Dorine Loso House helps people transition back to living on their own. People can come for help if they need detox, substance abuse treatment, or mental health treatment, with the option for supervised medical detox if someone's dealing with alcohol, benzodiazepine, or opioid dependence, and the facility has rooms and care for those struggling with co-occurring substance use and serious mental illness or emotional disturbances. Progress Foundation doesn't just stick to one approach, but uses treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, physical activity, and medication management, plus group work and individual counseling, and they tailor help for each person, whether that means supporting veterans, members of the LGBT community, people with HIV/AIDS, folks with PTSD, or seniors with dementia needing memory care. There are options for Assisted Living, Independent Living, residential homes, and Memory Care for seniors who can no longer live alone safely, while they'll also help out with day-to-day needs like bathing, dressing, medication, and getting to the doctor, and for seniors who are still healthy, there are apartments or shared homes supervised by staff if a little help is needed. They offer a Day Treatment program at Rypins House for up to 25 people at a time, and people can stay in some programs 4-6 months or as long as needed during day treatment, with the aim of getting folks back on their feet so they can live as independently as possible. Progress Foundation is a private nonprofit, focusing on principles of social rehabilitation, so they want you to be actively involved in planning your own treatment, and residents are encouraged to participate and try new things as part of their recovery, with help from experienced staff. Staff at the facility are used to working with people from all types of backgrounds, including multiple cultures and languages. This place accepts payment from a lot of sources, including Medicare, Medicaid, county or state funding, private insurance, VA benefits, and self-pay, and there are programs for payment help if someone qualifies. Amenities vary between settings but usually focus on comfort and independence, with smoking and vaping allowed in marked areas, and there are extras like exercise, diet counseling, vocational training, and even housing support so people leaving the facility can have a better chance of staying well. There are specialized crisis clinics, short-term crisis homes, and long-term programs for people needing more support, and Progress Foundation handles both residential and outpatient care, including mental health clinics, telemedicine services, and help for people ordered into treatment by the courts, so everything's set up to meet a person wherever they're at in their recovery, whether that's needing a brief stay to get through a crisis or longer-term support in a homelike setting. This organization serves San Francisco, Napa, and Santa Rosa, with a newer facility in Marin County, and offers a broad range of program levels to match how much support each person wants or needs, always planning people's care together with them and focusing on building self-sufficiency over time. People can also volunteer here, and many former clients return for continued support or community programs.
