About La Jolla Recovery

La Jolla guides clients through recovery with a seamless continuum of care starting with detox services, residential care, partial hospitalization (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and sober living homes. La Jolla caters to the individual by offering specialized programs that are pet friendly along with an LGBT group track and a couples therapy program. The clinical staff works with each person individually to create a personalized treatment plan that will provide the structure and clinical care necessary for lasting recovery. Men and women live in separate, gender-specific residential homes and are taken to La Jolla’s treatment center each day for therapy and classes. The program includes individual, group, and family counseling along with strategies for relapse prevention, 12-Step facilitation, motivational interviewing, life skills training, communication skills, relationship skills, and much more.
La Jolla wants all clients to feel at home during recovery. They have 4 up-scales homes throughout San Diego, California. The 2 detox homes are located in Mission Bay and Pacific Beach, while the sober living home resides at Pacific beach. The residential home is located in La Jolla and offers views of San Diego's gorgeous bay with modern amenities. The beachside setting provides a sense of tranquility needed for long-term recovery.
With a knowledgeable staff and many positive reviews, La Jolla recovery is a great choice for those looking for addiction and mental health recovery in sunny Southern California.

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 La Jolla Recovery provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

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.

La Jolla Recovery 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 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Specific 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. La Jolla Recovery works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
