We provide men with a focused addiction treatment program serving the greater Encinitas, California community. Men here experience a structured, encouraging setting designed to help them regain purpose, stabilize emotions, and rebuild daily routines that support long-term recovery. Rather than relying on a traditional detox-and-counseling model, our approach integrates outdoor therapeutic work, trauma-informed clinical care, peer accountability, and real-world life skills training. Men seeking consistency, direction, and a renewed sense of self, beyond simply achieving sobriety, find a powerful path forward at our center.
We offer several levels of clinical care, including Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and flexible outpatient treatment for men who benefit from ongoing structure. Each step incorporates research-supported therapy, experiential methods, and goal-oriented interventions that make treatment feel purposeful, engaging, and compatible with men’s everyday responsibilities.
Sacred Journey Recovery serves men from Encinitas and North County San Diego, as well as individuals traveling from across California who want a structured, men-only environment anchored in clarity and involvement. Men’s drug and alcohol rehab near Encinitas provides reliable support crafted to complement real-life commitments.

Our men-centered treatment programs near Encinitas create a steady foundation for recovery while allowing clients to continue managing work, school, and family obligations. Each level emphasizes accountability, routine, and a practical method for building momentum week after week.
IOP meets several days a week, giving Encinitas residents the chance to stay deeply involved in treatment without pausing careers, academic paths at nearby MiraCosta College or UC San Diego, or parenting responsibilities. It serves as an ideal transition from PHP or as a structured, standalone option for men who need continued clinical guidance at a manageable pace.
PHP delivers the highest degree of outpatient structure, offering full-day clinical programming for men who need consistent stability and focused therapeutic attention. Clients participate in individual sessions, process groups, skills workshops, and guided experiential activities. PHP is especially useful for men stepping down from detox or residential treatment who benefit from a predictable, supportive schedule early in sobriety.
Our outpatient care supports men completing PHP or IOP while living in Encinitas or the surrounding coastal neighborhoods. This stage emphasizes relapse-prevention strategies, emotional balance, routine-building, and the reinforcement of long-term recovery skills through continued clinical and peer support.
Although Sacred Journey specializes in PHP, IOP, and outpatient care, some men begin their recovery needing medical detox or residential stabilization. When appropriate, we coordinate referrals to vetted partner programs to ensure a smooth, clinically aligned continuum of care.
You do not have to figure out every step on your own. Our staff will walk you through the options and help map out what comes next.
Men choose Sacred Journey Recovery because it creates an environment where they can speak openly and honestly without fear of judgment. A men-only setting removes the pressure to minimize emotions or perform socially. Clients discuss work stress, communication issues, relationship strain, frustration, expectations, and life pressures, topics men often avoid elsewhere. This candid approach deepens emotional insight and strengthens accountability.
Our addiction recovery facility offers room to reset while still feeling connected to real life. Many men find that this balance helps them take treatment more seriously without feeling cut off from everything they care about.
Encinitas offers one of Southern California’s most restorative environments, with outdoor spaces such as Swami’s Beach, Moonlight State Beach, Cardiff Reef, San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, and the Manchester Preserve trail network. The area’s year-round comfortable weather, coastal breezes, and scenic landscapes give men natural opportunities to unwind, reflect, and de-stress before or after treatment sessions. The city’s environment naturally supports emotional grounding and recovery.
Sacred Journey Recovery integrates clinical therapy with movement-based, adventure-focused experiences that keep men engaged. Our founder, who overcame heroin addiction himself, understands detox, early sobriety, and the process of rebuilding confidence. His lived experience shapes a program culture that resonates with men in Encinitas, especially those balancing demanding work schedules, financial responsibilities, or family roles.
The goal is not simply to stop drinking or using drugs. The goal is to help men build a life where substances are no longer needed, and they thrive.
Experiential, wilderness, and adventure therapy are core elements of our treatment model. Encinitas is uniquely positioned for active therapeutic work due to its access to beaches, nature preserves, canyon paths, and nearby inland trail systems. Outdoor sessions may include hiking, climbing elements, coastal mindfulness exercises, ropes-based challenges, rappelling, and other movement-oriented practices facilitated by skilled staff.
These activities cultivate emotional stability, communication, teamwork, trust, leadership, presence, and problem-solving skills essential to successful long-term recovery, and they are strengthened through active, hands-on experience.
Southern California’s mild weather and varied terrain make it possible to do this kind of work year-round. Men do not just talk about change. They experience it outdoors, in their bodies, and in the way they show up for others.
