Sacred Journey Recovery offers outpatient addiction treatment for men from Torrey Pines who are balancing careers, family life, school demands, and busy weekly routines. Each level of care is designed to bring consistency, accountability, and clear structure to everyday life.
The IOP schedule provides multiple therapeutic sessions throughout the week, allowing Torrey Pines residents to receive focused clinical support while maintaining career responsibilities in the Del Mar Heights business district, Sorrento Valley tech campuses, or Carmel Valley corporate centers. IOP is a strong fit for men transitioning from PHP or those who benefit from a reliable, structured weekly routine that still leaves room for work, school, and family.
PHP offers a full day of therapeutic programming, including individual counseling, group work, and guided experiential activities. This level of care supports men who need stabilization, structure, and deeper engagement in early recovery. PHP is often recommended after detox or residential treatment and helps men build momentum during the crucial first stages of sobriety.
Outpatient treatment provides continued support for men completing PHP or IOP. Whether living in Del Mar Heights, Torrey Hills, Carmel Valley, Sorrento Valley, or the hillside neighborhoods surrounding Torrey Pines State Beach, clients focus on relapse prevention, emotional steadiness, and the establishment of healthy routines reinforced by community and peer support.
Sacred Journey Recovery specializes in outpatient care. When a client needs medical detox or a residential stay, our staff helps coordinate placement with reputable facilities and ensures a smooth, clinically appropriate, and supportive transition.
Choosing Sacred Journey Recovery provides men with an environment where honesty, growth, and accountability are prioritized. Because our program works exclusively with men, clients can openly discuss workplace pressure, relationship stress, emotional expectations, anger, and career-related challenges without hesitation. A men-only setting makes conversations straightforward and productive, allowing men to make genuine progress.

A men-only setting encourages direct conversations about work, relationships, stress, anger, and responsibility. Treatment remains focused and practical, helping men speak openly without pressure.

Sacred Journey Recovery blends traditional clinical therapy with action-oriented modalities, outdoor experiences, and hands-on therapeutic work that keeps men moving, learning, and engaged. Our program was founded by a leader who personally overcame heroin addiction and rebuilt his life through structure, consistency, and accountability. His lived experience shapes a culture that feels real, relatable, and inspiring to men throughout Torrey Pines and the greater San Diego coastal region.
Sacred Journey Recovery integrates experiential therapy, wilderness therapy, and adventure therapy to help men reconnect emotionally and physically.
The Torrey Pines region offers exceptional natural environments for therapeutic work, including Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, beachside bluffs overlooking the ocean, Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, Gonzales Canyon, and the trail systems linking Carmel Valley and Del Mar. Experiential activities may include guided hikes, rope-based elements, confidence-building challenges, mindfulness walks, and nature-supported therapeutic sessions led by trained staff.
These experiences strengthen resilience, communication, emotional regulation, trust, presence, and follow-through, all essential components of lasting recovery.
