Serving Men Across North County San Diego and Beyond

Vista sits in North County San Diego with quick access to the coast, nearby mountains, and miles of trails, which makes it an ideal base for an outdoor and adventure oriented rehab program. Men drive in from nearby cities for PHP and IOP several days per week, then return home to practice new skills with family, work, and real life responsibilities.

Sacred Journey Recovery serves the wider San Diego region and surrounding areas, including:

  • North County coastal cities
  • Inland North County communities
  • Central and metro San Diego neighborhoods
  • East County and South Bay
  • Nearby Southern California cities in Riverside and Orange County


While our primary service area includes Vista, North County, and greater San Diego, some men choose to stay with family, friends, or in nearby lodging and attend our program from other regions of California or from out of state. Our admissions team can help you think through what that would look like in practical terms.

Men’s Outpatient Care and Adventure Based Treatment in San Diego County

Most men who come to Sacred Journey Recovery are looking for intensive support that still respects real life obligations. Our Vista location serves men from across San Diego County with outpatient levels of care that include:

A defining feature of Sacred Journey Recovery is the use of experiential and adventure based therapy as part of clinical care. Men do not just sit in groups. They hike, climb, surf, and take part in guided challenges that mirror what it feels like to move through fear, discomfort, and change.

Being based in Vista gives clients access to nearby trails, hills, canyons, and the coast for outdoor process work, surf days, and structured activities that build leadership, trust, and problem solving skills. These experiences are always tied back into individual therapy, group work, and trauma informed care so that physical challenge supports emotional growth.

Some men in San Diego County also need medical detox or short term residential stabilization before they are ready for PHP, IOP, or outpatient care. Sacred Journey Recovery helps men plan a realistic path of care that can include detox, residential time, step down into our outpatient programs in Vista, and ongoing aftercare once they are back home in their own communities.
