Sacred Journey Recovery supports men from Rancho Santa Fe, California, by offering a focused and steady therapeutic environment where they can interrupt destructive cycles and begin building healthier patterns that hold up in everyday life. Our program serves exclusively adult men, providing a structured setting where they can reset physically, restore emotional balance, and learn to make intentional choices that support long-term progress. Instead of relying on a traditional detox-heavy or discussion-only model, Sacred Journey blends outdoor therapeutic work, trauma-informed counseling, brotherhood-based peer connection, and skill-building practices that translate directly into daily routines. This approach is significant for men who want more than simple abstinence, men who thrive with direction, accountability, purpose, and active engagement.
Our clinical services include a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and flexible outpatient treatment designed to match the rhythms of real life. These levels of care allow men to continue school, work, family duties, and community involvement while receiving consistent therapeutic support. By integrating evidence-based therapy with experiential work and functional life-skills development, we create a model that feels hands-on, relevant, and deeply supportive.
Sacred Journey Recovery welcomes clients from Rancho Santa Fe and nearby inland and coastal North County areas, including Fairbanks Ranch, Del Mar, Olivenhain, Encinitas, and Solana Beach. Many men also travel from across California and the United States for our men-only, experiential program.
