Addiction treatment in San Diego

The most common form of treatment for addictions is behavioral therapy (which may include individual counseling and group therapy) and support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. Many people also seek inpatient residential treatment for addiction.

The five recovery skills typically are coping skills to handle cravings and triggers, communication skills to express emotions effectively, stress management techniques to handle difficult situations, problem-solving abilities to address challenges in recovery, and self-care practices to maintain physical and mental well-being. Each of these crucial skills help our clients build a foundation for lasting recovery.

Management strategies for drug abuse often include a combination of therapy, support groups, and lifestyle changes such as avoiding triggers and developing healthy habits. Medication-assisted treatment for certain substances and ongoing monitoring and support to prevent relapse can also be helpful management strategies, where necessary.
