Solid Foundation (Mandela I) is a comprehensive substance abuse treatment facility located in Oakland, CA, dedicated to serving individuals and families struggling with addiction. The facility specializes in supporting pregnant and postpartum women, as well as mothers who need residential care with accommodations for their children. With its commitment to evidence-based detoxification and residential treatment, Solid Foundation provides a structured recovery environment for those ready to take meaningful steps toward lasting sobriety.
Solid Foundation offers multiple levels of residential care to meet different recovery needs. Detoxification services provide medically-supervised withdrawal management, which is essential for safely stopping substance use under clinical oversight. The facility provides residential short-term treatment (30 days or less), ideal for individuals requiring intensive support during the critical early stages of recovery. For those who benefit from extended structure and care, residential long-term treatment (30 days or more) allows patients to develop coping skills, address underlying issues, and establish a strong foundation for sustained recovery. The facility's specialized women's treatment programs create a supportive environment addressing the unique challenges women face in recovery, with particular focus on pregnant and postpartum women who need comprehensive care during vulnerable life transitions. Additionally, Solid Foundation provides residential beds for children of clients, recognizing that family unity supports recovery and reduces barriers to treatment access.
Solid Foundation accepts multiple insurance and payment options, including Medicaid, Medicare, military insurance (VA/Tricare), state-financed programs, and self-payment. The facility offers sliding fee scales and payment assistance to ensure that cost is never a barrier to accessing quality treatment. Many insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment at the same level as medical services under federal parity laws, and the admissions team can help verify your specific coverage and explain your benefits.
