Sacred Journey Recovery provides outpatient addiction treatment for men from La Jolla who are balancing work, school, family responsibilities, and everyday life. Each level of care offers consistency, accountability, and clear direction tailored to real-world needs.
IOP meets several days per week, allowing La Jolla residents to receive focused therapeutic support while balancing career demands, UC San Diego coursework, and household responsibilities. This is often the best fit for men stepping down from PHP or for those who benefit from structured, reliable treatment woven into a manageable weekly routine.
PHP provides a full day of clinical services, including individual counseling, group sessions, and guided experiential work. This level of care is ideal for men who need structure, stabilization, and deeper engagement. PHP is commonly used after detox or residential treatment and helps men build momentum during the earliest stages of sobriety.
Outpatient care offers ongoing support for men completing PHP or IOP. Whether living in La Jolla Village, Muirlands, Bird Rock, or nearby coastal communities, men focus on relapse prevention, emotional steadiness, healthy routines, and long-term recovery strategies reinforced through peer support.
Sacred Journey Recovery specializes in outpatient levels of care. If a client requires medical detox or a residential stay, our team helps coordinate placement with trusted facilities and ensures the process is well-organized, clinically aligned, and supportive.
Choosing Sacred Journey Recovery gives men a space where honesty, accountability, and growth are part of daily life. Because our program is exclusively for men, clients can openly discuss pressure from demanding careers, UCSD academics, relationships, emotional expectations, anger, and stress without hesitation. This male-focused setting encourages direct conversations that promote progress and long-term change.

Sacred Journey Recovery combines clinical therapy with movement-based work, outdoor experiences, and hands-on activities that keep men active, involved, and focused.
