Avery Lane is a Substance Abuse, Dual Diagnosis, and Trauma Specialized Treatment Center Designed by Women for Women
Avery Lane is a mental health and addiction recovery center, community and program located in beautiful Marin County, Northern California. Avery Lane is the only treatment center for women offering a fully comprehensive program to address recovery on every level, restoring wholeness to the often fragmented experience of trauma, mental health, and addiction.
Our proprietary WHOLE BEING RECOVERY model address the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, empowering clients to find inner strength and fortitude to heal trauma, transcend addictions, and adopt new healthy patterns and behaviors.
Our experienced and licensed clinical and medical team utilizes the latest holistic and evidence-based modalities to provide the most effective and engaging treatment to meet each client’s individualized needs. Our model integrates philosophies, research, and practices from the medical, psychiatric, psychological, social, familial, and self-help fields proven to support clients achieve some of the highest success rates in the industry.
Together with our participants, our entire team fosters a safe community environment where everyone is respected, honored, and supported to heal and grow.
As a primary substance abuse treatment program, all clients admitting in our program have an abuse or dependency issue with alcohol and/ or drugs both prescription and recreational. Most of our clients use substances as a way to self-medicate or as a coping skill.
Addiction rarely occurs in isolation. Many individuals struggling with substance abuse also suffer from a co-occurring, dual-diagnosis, or underlying mental health condition. At Avery Lane, we address all underlying conditions and concerns related to substance abuse.
The correlation between trauma and substance addiction in women is being increasingly recognized. The large majority of women addicted to alcohol or drugs report some sort of significant violent traumatic incident in their past, usually in the form of physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional or verbal abuse.
Grief can be triggered by many events in life. People often associate grief with the death of a loved one, but grief can occur whenever something important is lost. Divorce, the loss of a job, or having to give up a life-long dream can all affect us dramatically. Even smaller events can trigger less intense feelings of grief.
Avery Lane’s WHOLE BEING RECOVERY MODEL combines the most effective science and holistic-based treatment modalities to deliver higher than national success outcomes that support you with new skills and behaviors to create and sustain a healthy, empowered life.

Nicole Collins entered the field of healing after receiving her BA from Colorado State University
in Human Services, which led her to work in domestic violence. Following her beliefs and
passion in the body-mind-spirit connection and the Intelligence of the Self-healing power, she
got her MS from Touro University in Vallejo. She believes that addiction, alcoholism,
depression, the things that push against your joy, calm, serenity, and sense of security, are
powerful and baffling. Still, there is something unique inside of you that is ready to push back
against it all. The fear, anxiety, depression, and trauma that press against your head and chest
are real, but they should not define you. She feels her role is to help you find the resources
within to overcome the challenges and suffering that life may bring. She specializes in trauma,
substance abuse, LGBTQIA+ community, matters of belonging, helping individuals heal in their
relationships within themselves. In your work together, she will meet you where you are and
support you in reacquainting you, with all parts of yourself, including your inherent wisdom.
