About Destinations for Teens San Diego House
Destinations for Teens San Diego House provides compassionate care for adolescents aged 12-17, designed to give support to families with teens who are struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders. During orientation, parents will meet the entire treatment team. It’s important to Destinations for Teens that loved ones are involved in the recovery process, so they offer family therapy sessions and education classes as part of their program.
Throughout a 45+ day program, clients will attend AA, NA, and other support meetings to help identify triggers related to their substance abuse and develop alternative coping mechanisms. This helps teens to combat cravings and redirect them to a healthy alternative. Their treatment approach involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with an emphasis on coping skills, incorporated with creative therapies that allow them to express themselves in a caring, nurturing environment. Outdoor activities, physical fitness, body movements, and yoga will also get the teens moving, so they can begin to understand the positive effects of exercise on mental health.
The San Diego residential home provides luxury accommodations and amenities to create a serene environment for healing. They have nutritious chef-prepared meals with dietary accommodations available, an outdoor pool and patio area, and recreation room. A main component of their treatment additionally includes on-site academic support and one-on-one supervision. They have virtual classrooms, GED and college prep, life and vocational skills training, and a work center. When first arriving, the teens receive a psychosocial and psychiatric evaluation. They are then given their customized treatment plan, and finally, after the process is finished and the teen is ready to reenter a healthy life, they provide robust aftercare planning and services.
