Why SDTRC

A gateway to sobriety filled with new insights and living skills.

San Diego Treatment and Recovery Center provides treatment in a caring, supportive environment which preserves dignity and respect for the individual. We supply our clients with the tools to live without the need to medicate themselves — through discovering individual strength, resolving issues and finding serenity.

01

No investors to answer to

We are a small, privately owned facility. Unlike larger providers, we have no stakeholders to satisfy — so we can focus on outstanding client care in a cozy, intimate environment.

02

We avoid labels

We don't believe everyone's an addict. We'll educate you about substance use disorders and help you reach your own informed conclusion — because change begins when a person decides for themselves.

03

A real person answers

Call and you'll reach a staff member sitting in our office. We'll listen to your history, hear your story, and talk through how we can help you get your life back.

Intensive outpatient

Group in the evening. Home for dinner.

Those who are working, going to school, or raising children often choose this program because they simply cannot check into a live-in rehab. Old habits begin to disappear as you start using the new tools taught by our staff — without stepping out of your life to do it.

About our outpatient program
Programs offered

Individualized treatment programs for recovery.

Our dedicated team of trained addiction professionals builds each program around the person in front of them.

Dual Diagnosis

When a coexisting mental health issue is present, rehabilitation requires specialized expertise. We clinically assess each client's mental health at intake and treat both conditions at the same time.

Drug Treatment

Specialized drug rehabilitation for men and women facing substance abuse or chemical dependency. Where detox is needed first, we refer to trusted local facilities and make the transition seamless.

Alcohol Treatment

A unique alcohol rehabilitation program using therapeutic activities directed toward recovery, built one-on-one around your clinical needs and at a reasonable cost.

Outpatient Rehab

For those unable to take time out of their lives for residential treatment. Not everyone is a candidate — our staff evaluates each request individually.

Sober Living

Our Normal Heights Sober Living program gives recovering people the freedom, structure and network to co-exist with others in recovery.

Extended Care

For clients the standard program doesn't fully serve. Patients explore the patterns they seek to break, the reasons behind past behaviors, and how to form and keep new positive habits.

Normal Heights Sober Living

Structure, accountability, and people who understand.

A nearby 25-bed house offering recovering individuals structure and accountability alongside others in recovery. Residents attend school, hold full-time jobs, and take part in 12-step meetings, with chores and projects in the house that build responsibility and healthy habits.

Stays range from 30 days to six months or more. We've found that the longer the stay, the better the chance at long-term recovery.
