Sober Living

San Diego Rehab

Caring Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Center

Our Founder Mark Gladden has been a fixture in the San Diego recovery community for over a decade where he has worked tirelessly to help men and women escape the chains of addiction that he, too has recovered from. When you call us you will be speaking to him directly as he is still intimately involved in the day-to-day activities of our family-run sanctuary that is dedicated to saving others from addiction. Our staff understands what you are going through from personal experience.

All treatment is administered in our well-appointed home-like center in San Diego's (North County) charming Carlsbad neighborhood.

We offer entire continuum of care, and it has all been CARF accredited, including detox (and outpatient detox), inpatient treatment (or residential rehab), outpatient rehab (also known as IOP and PHP), and sober living. We treat those struggling with problematic drinking and those who are abusing opioids (like fentanyl). Many of our clients are polysubstance users. We also address co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression and trauma (PTSD).

Accredited Addiction and Alcoholism Treatment Programs

Customized For Each Patient

The Entire Treatment Continuum Personalized for You

Our treatment program is personalized for each individual in order to best guide them through the initial transition to abstinence and continue supporting them as they resume their professional or academic career with aftercare programs in the local community. Our after care programs support each client for up to a year Under the care of the same treatment team. Where appropriate, MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment) is incorporated into the plan.

Our San Diego rehab provides a licensed, safe and supportive detox environment for the first 5 to 10 days. Once stabilized, the client moves seamlessly into our residential program consisting of clinical and holistic treatment lasting 20-60 days. Following this, the client will continue their treatment at a PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) and/or IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) level of care. This level of care is suited for those clients residing in the local area in a stable and supportive living environment.

Should the client need alternative housing to support their continuum of care, PMR owns and operates By the Sea Recovery, providing an industry leading sober community experience at two locations in North County San Diego. Our treatment continuum helps you by providing continuity of care facilitated by our ethical staff of professionals in a secure and safe environment.
