Boardwalk Recovery Center, located near vibrant Pacific Beach in San Diego, California, guides clients who are facing substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns through their signature intensive outpatient program (IOP). Their team of master’s and doctorate level clinicians help clients build a steady foundation of recovery and wellness by integrating evidence-based therapies with experiential treatments to foster lasting recovery and personal growth. Their IOP is intended for clients who have detoxed and are stepping down to a lower level of care, and the length of treatment can last anywhere from 30-90 days.

Comprehensive Support and Reintegration

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Boardwalk Recovery is designed to support clients in reintegrating into society while minimizing the risk of relapse. The program includes several weekly sessions of individual and group therapy, along with 12-Step group support. A key component of the program is career coaching, where clients set career goals, craft effective resumes, and prepare for interviews. The IOP also features a family program, offering weekly sessions both in-person and via Zoom, to educate loved ones about addiction and offer the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions and ask questions related to addiction recovery.

Integrated Care for Co-Occurring Disorders

Boardwalk Recovery Center provides comprehensive dual-diagnosis treatment for individuals struggling with both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns like stress, mood and thought disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, and trauma-related disorders. Boardwalk Recovery’s experienced clinicians administer detailed assessments and then tailor treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each client, making sure that mental health conditions are diagnosed and treated alongside the addiction.

Unique and Empowering Therapies

Boardwalk Recovery Center offers a range of unique therapies that complement their proven, evidence-based treatment approach. In order to guide clients to a full, fun, and purpose-driven life, Boardwalk Recovery uses holistic and experiential therapies like meditation, psychodrama, breathwork, hiking, and surfing. Additionally, they offer Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) therapy and Ecopsychology. MMA therapy combines physical training with mental discipline, helping clients build confidence, manage stress, and cultivate resilience. Ecopsychology, another distinctive approach, involves connecting clients with nature to promote healing and well-being.This therapy helps clients restore their connection to the environment, fostering a sense of peace and grounding.
