— Former client K.M.W."Alta Mira is a disaster of a program... owned by private equity and is very much a business more than a program to help people in recovery."
— Lily Blavin (online review)"There is not an ounce of nervousness in my body leaving Alta Mira after 60 days here. This program has offered me all the support, hospitality and tools I needed in my recovery…it changed my life."
