California Healing Centers

Set atop the hillside in northern San Diego, California Healing Centers treats mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, personality, mood and thought disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum, and co‑occurring substance use. They offer separate treatment for general anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. CHC address underlying trauma and seek to understand clients' whole story. At the beginning of treatment, CHC uses brain mapping to determine what treatments will work well.
California Healing Centers uses both evidence-based and holistic treatment, with evidence-based talk therapies, equine therapy, group therapies, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), yoga, breathwork, sound healing, red light healing, non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS), art, music, and more. Their equine therapy program is a popular way for clients to rebuild strength by caring for the horses.
Alongside CHC's suite of 1-on-1 therapies, they help clients learn from other people in similar experiences. For instance, clients going through trauma or substance use recovery will be matched with people going through similar struggles, while people with different experiences can connect with other grops. The goals of group therapy are peer support, improved communication, stronger coping strategies, reduced feelings of isolation, and more self-awareness.
CHC helps clients identify the right balance of medicines to supplement their healing, including anti-anxiety medications, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and sleep aids.
Clients stay in private, spacious suites designed for comfort and privacy. Professional chefs create gourmet, nourishing meals to support wellness. The serene indoor and outdoor environments include lush surroundings ideal for relaxation and recovery. Between therapy, clients can play billiards, relax in the lounge or on the patio, and go for a swim.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like California Healing Centers provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

California Healing Centers offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. California Healing Centers works with 24 insurance providers.
