About
Boardwalk Recovery Center, situated close to the lively Pacific Beach in San Diego, California, offers support to individuals dealing with substance use issues and concurrent mental health challenges through its innovative intensive outpatient program (IOP). A team of highly qualified clinicians with master’s and doctorate degrees is dedicated to assisting clients in establishing a solid foundation for recovery and overall wellness. This is achieved by combining evidence-based therapeutic practices with experiential methods that encourage long-lasting recovery and personal development. The IOP is geared towards those who have completed detoxification and are ready to transition to a lower level of care, with treatment durations ranging from 30 to 90 days.
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Boardwalk Recovery is tailored to help individuals reintegrate into their communities while reducing the chances of relapse. Participants engage in multiple weekly sessions of both individual and group therapy, alongside support from 12-Step groups. An important feature of the program is the career coaching component where clients establish employment objectives, develop effective resumes, and get ready for job interviews. Additionally, the program includes a family aspect, offering weekly sessions both in-person and virtually, to educate family members about addiction and facilitate important conversations regarding recovery.
Boardwalk Recovery Center delivers extensive dual-diagnosis care for those facing both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety, mood and thought disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, and trauma-related issues. The experienced treatment team conducts thorough evaluations and customizes treatment plans to address the specific needs of each client, ensuring that any mental health challenges are addressed in conjunction with the addiction.
The center also offers a variety of innovative therapies that supplement their well-established treatment methods. To guide clients toward a fulfilling, enjoyable, and purposeful life, Boardwalk Recovery incorporates holistic and experiential therapies such as meditation, psychodrama, breathwork, hiking, and surfing. In addition, they provide Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) therapy and Ecopsychology. MMA therapy merges physical conditioning with mental focus, assisting clients in building self-confidence, managing stress, and developing resilience. Ecopsychology, another unique method, strengthens clients' connection with nature, enhancing their healing process and overall well-being, while promoting a sense of peace and stability.
