Sacred Journey Recovery offers men in Poway, California, a structured and supportive treatment environment designed to interrupt destructive habits and promote meaningful, long-term change. Our men-only program provides daily consistency, clear expectations, and a supportive space where clients can rebuild their physical health, stabilize emotions, and begin making intentional decisions rooted in purpose. Instead of relying on a traditional detox-first or talk-only approach, Sacred Journey uses an action-driven, experiential treatment model that blends outdoor therapeutic activities, trauma-responsive counseling, real-world life-skills development, and strong peer support. This approach is especially practical for men who need more than abstinence, men who benefit from structure, accountability, motivation, and a sense of shared direction.
Our treatment services include a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and flexible outpatient treatment options that fit around work, academic schedules, family responsibilities, and community commitments. Evidence-based therapy is combined with experiential learning and practical skills training, creating a program that feels active, engaging, and directly relevant to everyday life.
Sacred Journey Recovery serves men from across Poway, including neighborhoods such as Green Valley, Bridlewood, Old Poway, Silver Saddle, Twin Peaks, Garden Road, and North Poway near Lake Poway and the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve. We also welcome clients from neighboring areas, including Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Scripps Ranch, and the greater inland North County region. Our Vista center is accessible via Twin Peaks Road, Espola Road, Poway Road, I-15, and CA-78, making structured men’s treatment realistic for residents throughout Poway and inland San Diego County.

Sacred Journey Recovery offers multiple levels of addiction treatment care for men in Poway who need structure, clinical guidance, and dependable therapeutic support while staying connected to their everyday responsibilities. Each program is designed for men who want stability without stepping away from work, school, or family life.
Our IOP includes several therapy sessions each week, with both morning and evening scheduling options to accommodate Poway residents, whether they live near Twin Peaks Middle School, Old Poway Park, Stone Canyon, or along Poway Road. IOP is an excellent fit for men transitioning from PHP or for those needing consistent support without committing to a full-day program. It allows men to continue working, parenting, and managing daily obligations while receiving structured therapeutic care.
PHP provides a full daytime schedule that includes individual therapy, skills-based group sessions, and experiential therapeutic work. Men who need daily accountability, emotional stabilization, and structured routine, especially after detox or residential care, often find PHP to be the most effective level of support. This program helps men rebuild healthy habits, improve emotional regulation, and stay firmly engaged in their recovery.
Outpatient and aftercare services help men transition from higher levels of care into everyday life with ongoing support. This may include continued therapy, relapse-prevention groups, skill-building sessions, alumni involvement, and community connections. Men from Poway, Rancho Bernardo, and surrounding inland communities rely on these services to maintain stability, rebuild relationships, and reinforce healthy routines.
When a man needs medical detox or residential stabilization before starting PHP or IOP, our admissions team coordinates placement with trusted providers. Once detox or residential treatment is complete, we facilitate a seamless transition into the appropriate level of care at Sacred Journey Recovery.
