About Carlsbad Beach Recovery
Carlsbad Beach Recovery combines clinical excellence, holistic therapies, and community engagement for clients facing substance use, co-occurring mental health challenges, and risk-taking behaviors like gambling, gaming, internet, and shopping addictions. Their care includes a gambling-specific track for compulsive betting and online access, as well as partial hospitalization (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and sober housing designed to add structure and support.
Feel Empowered by Therapies & Life Skills
Carlsbad Beach Recovery integrates evidence-based and holistic therapies into every plan to address both addiction and mental health. Clients benefit from individual sessions to explore personal challenges, as well as group counseling that builds community and combats isolation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI) help clients develop practical coping skills, while mindfulness, nutrition, fitness, and life-skills training strengthen whole-person recovery.
Gain Confidence in Sober Housing
Clients are encouraged to pair their outpatient program with sober living in CBR’s contracted houses that are not like typical shared recovery homes. Located one block from the treatment center and two blocks from the beach in downtown Carlsbad, these individual, upscale beach bungalows each accommodate 2-4 guests. The downtown location provides an ideal setting for leisurely beach walks, meditation, and outdoor activities.
Stay Sober and Supported After Treatment
CBR’s aftercare services act as the bridge between treatment and daily life, helping clients take the tools they developed and apply them in the real world. They host monthly events that keep recovery social and fun—beach BBQs, sunset hikes, speaker nights, and community volunteering. A members-only digital community keeps alumni connected to resources and each other. One-on-one coaching and “refresher” outpatient care are available when life throws curveballs.

Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
Methadone
Naltrexone
Buprenorphine
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
