SUD Programs in San Diego

No matter where you are in your recovery process, Windandsea Recovery has a program for you. Their varying levels of outpatient and intensive outpatient programs include group therapy, individual counseling and skill-building workshops. If you’re at the beginning of your recovery, you might start with detoxification services. 

Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) provide a little more structure but still afford you the flexibility of living at home while getting care.

A Day in the Life at Windandsea

In the heart of La Jolla, you can experience extravagant programs through their residential program to catapult you on a path to healing, vibrance and happiness. Each day will begin with a power up breakfast that is both nourishing and delicious. You’ll then be invited to participate in surf therapy to lend to your physical fitness. 

Next is group therapy where you can grow with and learn from others who are also recovering alongside you. After culinary-crafted lunch, you’ll meet with a compassionate therapist who will partner up with you in identifying strategies for managing stress and intense emotions that tend to influence substance use. This will be followed up by hot yoga and then a therapeutic ice bath session. 

You’ll also have access to a sacred sweat lodge. During the evening, you’ll be able to attend recovery meetings where you can glean wisdom from skilled and experienced mentors.

The staff genuinely cares and takes the time to really support your growth—not just to get sober, but to help you build a better, healthier life. The therapy here is next-level. You get one-on-one counseling, group therapy, and support that actually digs into the root causes of addiction and mental health struggles. It’s not just about stopping the behavior—it’s about understanding yourself, healing past wounds, and learning how to thrive. They also offer holistic options like mindfulness, fitness, and life skills coaching, which all work together to help you become the best version of yourself. The environment is calm and welcoming, and the people you meet feel like family. If you're ready for real change, Windansea is the place to make it happen.

As someone who used to go in and out of treatment centers, this program saved my life. Located in sunny La Jolla on Windansea beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the country, this program changed my life. What an amazing crew of people, the owner is THE chillest surfer dude. A great man that has a lot of sober experience. He constantly provides opportunities for growth and is very encouraging to guys like me who have a lot to learn. On many occasions he stuck his neck out for me and personally saw to it that I was getting what I needed to set me up for a promising future in sobriety. The staff are kind, very cool, amazing people as well. Down to earth and ready to help. This recovery center is staffed with people who helped to guide me into becoming a respectable man in sobriety. Windansea Recovery has helped me to find a path that I am so excited to follow. I consider these men and women my friends, and I look forward to seeing them again soon when I get the chance to visit the wonderful place where I learned to live gratefully, joyfully and humbly.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Windansea Recovery works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Treatments

Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is defined by alcohol dependence. This is a state the body reaches when it experiences withdrawal symptoms in the absence of alcohol. A person who has AUD craves alcohol and continues to drink despite adverse consequences. Because withdrawing from alcohol can pose health risks, individuals with AUD should seek professional alcohol rehab in California to overcome their alcohol addiction. This process typically involves medical detox, rehabilitation, and maintenance.

In California, substance abuse treatment programs can help individuals with any type of substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions. These rehab programs typically encompass various levels of care, including medically assisted detox, intensive outpatient, outpatient, residential rehab, and partial hospitalization. You can expect clinicians to utilize evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to help you achieve and sustain your recovery. The rehab's clinical team can provide a comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate level of care and medical support you may need.

In California, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs offer comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Programs include medically assisted detox, intensive outpatient, outpatient, residential rehab, and partial hospitalization. Using an evidence-based approach, clinicians utilize therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health challenges. Additional services include 12-Step recovery, group therapy, family counseling, and relapse prevention to promote sustained recovery.

Inpatient treatment for drug and alcohol addiction with a focus on mental health is a good fit for people who need closer monitoring and care. Treatment may occur in a hospital setting, a clinic, or a luxury rehab center. Mental health counselors and staff are available 24/7. Therapies typically include group and individual counseling, relapse prevention education, and emotional coping skills training.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.

Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.

Trauma therapy is a structured approach used by therapists to help you heal from a past traumatic event. Your therapist works with you to identify the traumatic memory and process the information so you experience emotional healing and a sense of safety and stability.
