About Pacific Bay Recovery
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.

Insurance Accepted
Provider's Policy:We are in-network with major insurance providers and accept most PPO plans. Please call for a no obligation benefit verification so you understand exactly what your out of pocket cost will be. We do not accept Medicaid or MediCal.
At Pacific Bay Recovery, clients are actively involved in the treatment planning and decision-making processes. This patient-centered approach ensures that each individual's unique needs and preferences are considered, empowering them to take ownership of their recovery journey. The supportive and inclusive environment at the center promotes respect for diverse paths to wellness, with a strong emphasis on creating a safe space where patients feel heard and understood throughout their healing process.
Pacific Bay Recovery uses rewards and privileges with clients to incentivize behaviors that support recovery. These incentives help improve impulse control over things like cell phones, vaping, and credit cards that could distract from treatment. For example, when clients demonstrate responsible, monitored phone usage during their initial stay, they are rewarded with more phone time in the mornings and evenings. This slow progression helps clients develop a sense of responsibility and accountability
Pacific Bay Recovery incorporates meditation into their treatment plans to help clients achieve mental clarity, reduce stress, and promote emotional stability. This practice complements their evidence-based therapies by fostering a peaceful and mindful state, aiding the healing process. Through regular meditation sessions, clients learn to manage anxiety and cravings, enhancing their overall well-being and supporting long-term recovery. The center provides guided meditation practices, often integrated with yoga and other holistic therapies, to promote a balanced and holistic approach to recovery.
For clients who find themselves dependent on increasingly high doses of medication in an unsuccessful attempt to control their chronic pain, Pacific Bay Recovery offers a specialized program to break the hopeless cycle of pain and drugs. The center utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, including medical detox to manage withdrawal symptoms, physical therapy, and pain management techniques. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based therapies are employed to help patients develop healthier coping mechanisms. Additionally, holistic therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, and meditation are incorporated to promote overall well-being and pain relief.
