From the comfort of their homelike residences outside downtown San Diego, Pacific Bay Recovery helps clients experience freedom from the physical, emotional, and spiritual pain diminishing their quality of life. Their center offers detox, inpatient rehabilitation, and intensive outpatient programs for addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders, each of which can be tailored to meet client needs. Their programs typically follow a progression of 7-day medical detox, 90-day inpatient treatment, and 21-months outpatient treatment.
Pacific Bay Recovery provides personalized and thorough care by examining clients from a medical, musculoskeletal, cognitive, neurocognitive, and psychological standpoint. Each therapy plan uses a holistic approach that goes beyond merely treating the symptoms of addiction; they aim to identify and address the root causes of addiction. Their strategic, comprehensive approach integrates traditional therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with alternative methods like nutritional counseling, art therapy, and outdoor activities. As a result, clients develop healthier behaviors, increase their motivation for recovery, and effectively manage the physical aspects of addiction.
Pacific Bay Recovery believes treating behavioral health issues with substance abuse rehab concurrently is the best method to overcome either. They specialize as a dual-diagnosis treatment center aiding clients who suffer with drug, alcohol, and other addictions that are co-existing with mental health issues like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, trauma, and more. Their compassionate staff provide guidance and support so that clients can begin to heal from their root issues through individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, and holistic therapies such as yoga and meditation.
Clients receive weekly relapse prevention training, providing them with the tools they need to remain sober in the outside world. Pacific Bay Recovery teaches their clients how to handle triggers they’ll encounter at work and in their social lives, and how to find support. When clients leave their facility, they have a toolbox of skills to use and a monthly alumni group that helps them remain sober.
Pacific Bay Recovery features private and semi-private rooms, providing comfort and privacy for each patient. Their serene setting with a pool and beautiful outdoor spaces is a peaceful environment conducive to healing. Additionally, they offer gourmet meals prepared by professional chefs, integrating nutritious and delicious food into recovery. The facility also showcases a fitness center, yoga and meditation sessions, and holistic therapies such as acupuncture, cupping, and massage to support a well-rounded approach to wellness and recovery.
