Sacred Journey Recovery offers men in Chula Vista, California, a purposeful and supportive treatment setting designed to break unhealthy cycles and help them build long-term personal stability. Our men-only program provides structure, daily consistency, and a restorative environment where clients can focus on strengthening their physical health, emotional steadiness, and decision-making skills. Rather than relying on a standard detox-first or conversation-only model, Sacred Journey uses an action-focused, experiential treatment approach that integrates outdoor therapeutic activities, trauma-responsive care, strong male peer support, and real-world skill development. This method resonates with men who want more than abstinence, men who benefit from structure, responsibility, motivation, and a sense of shared purpose during recovery.
Our clinical services include a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and flexible outpatient treatment options that fit around work, school, and family schedules. Each level of care uses evidence-based therapy, experiential learning, and hands-on life-skills training to create a program that feels engaging, active, and directly relevant to the situations men face every day.
Sacred Journey Recovery serves men from throughout Chula Vista, including Eastlake and Otay Ranch, Rancho del Rey, Sunbow, Terra Nova, the Bayfront District, and the hillside neighborhoods near Telegraph Canyon Road and Proctor Valley. Many of our clients also come from nearby communities, and Bonita, National City, Imperial Beach, and the greater South Bay region. Our Vista location is accessible via I-805, I-5, SR-125, and CA-78, making structured men’s addiction treatment realistic for those living throughout Chula Vista and Southern San Diego County.

Sacred Journey Recovery offers several addiction treatment programs for men in Chula Vista who need structure, accountability, and reliable clinical support while staying connected to family and work commitments. Each program is designed to work alongside real-life responsibilities while providing a stable therapeutic framework.
Our IOP offers multiple weekly therapy sessions with both morning and evening options, allowing Chula Vista residents, whether living in Eastlake, the Bayfront area, or communities near H Street, Olympic Parkway, or Otay Ranch, to maintain work schedules, school responsibilities, and family obligations. IOP is ideal for men stepping down from PHP or for those who need focused, ongoing support without attending a full-day program.
PHP provides a full daytime schedule for men who need strong structure, accountability, and daily skill-building. Treatment includes individual therapy, group sessions, and clinically directed experiential activities. PHP is commonly used after detox or residential care and offers a stable environment that encourages steady progress.
Outpatient and aftercare services help men transition back into everyday life after completing higher levels of treatment. This may include ongoing therapy, relapse-prevention groups, life-skills reinforcement, alumni connections, and continued emotional support. Men from Chula Vista, Bonita, and surrounding South Bay neighborhoods often rely on these services to maintain stability as they return to work, education, and family routines.
If a man requires medical detox or a short-term residential stay prior to beginning outpatient treatment, our admissions team arranges placement with reputable, vetted providers. Once detox or stabilization is complete, we ensure a smooth transition into PHP or IOP at Sacred Journey Recovery.
