About Douglas Young Clinic

Douglas Young Wellness Recovery Center is located on Camino Ruiz in San Diego, California. They provide outpatient behavioral health services, including substance use and co-occurring disorder treatment for adults 18+ and transition age youth (TAY) ages 18 to 25.

A Foundation of Evidence Based Treatment

Their approach to therapy relies on evidence based treatment utilizing modalities such as CBT and DBT as well as motivational interviewing. Therapy is offered through individual and group therapy as well as case management services, with medication management and psychiatric evaluation available if needed.

An Integrative Person Centered Approach

What I find noteworthy about Douglas Young is that they are integrative and provide person centered care with an emphasis on empowerment, recovery planning and relapse prevention. Their multidisciplinary team ensures holistic support, addressing mental health, substance use and life skill development so that you don’t just recover from your addiction but you create a healthy new life.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

Typically, a young adult program in California can guide individuals from detox, through initial treatment, and extends to aftercare. Treatment gives young adults what they need to reset their lives and move to the next stage of life free from addiction.

Adult Program

An adult program in California uses various therapeutic methods to treat a person who is dependent on an addictive substance. Individuals aged 18 and older are eligible for treatment, which focuses on breaking the cycle of addiction and learning how to maintain sober living.

Men's Rehab

Gender-specific addiction treatment programs may be more effective in treating men because they focus on unique needs of males. Men’s rehab in California is designed to help men process emotions and cope with stress in a judgment-free environment.

Women's Rehab

Women’s rehab in California provides a safe environment where women can work through addiction challenges surrounded by their gender peers. This often creates an environment that is more conducive to recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

When a person is struggling with addiction, their actions and emotions may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy in California helps individuals understand better why they feel and act certain ways and how those emotions and actions can lead to substance abuse.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Seniors face unique challenges that may contribute to substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders. Elderly rehab in California is designed to address these challenges to provide relevant and safe treatment for seniors.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT)

Therapists often use rational emotive behavioral therapy in California to treat addiction. The ABC (activating event, beliefs, consequences) framework is used to help participants identify irrational beliefs and reframe their thinking in healthier ways.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

When you choose outpatient rehab in California, you will meet with a counselor and attend support group meetings. The focus will be on restructuring attitudes and thoughts to reduce cravings and develop skills to prevent relapse. The length of time in outpatient rehab varies by individual, based on their recovery needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

When you have a co-occurring disorder, it is essential to treat both your addiction and the mental health disorder. California dual diagnosis treatment provides this type of multidisciplinary approach, for improved recovery outcomes.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

Intervention services in California provide the support you need to encourage a loved one to make wise recovery decisions. Professionals will help you work with your loved one to develop an intervention plan and get him or her started on their recovery journey.
