About San Diego Rescue Mission
San Diego Rescue Mission is a faith based addiction recovery and homelessness intervention center in San Diego, California offering long term residential treatment for men, women, and single parents.
This holistic approach blends substance use recovery with education and employment as well as housing stabilization which I believe helps residents rebuild their lives.
Faith Based Recovery With Housing Stabilization
The cornerstone of care is long term residential treatment through Mission Academy which is a structured 12 month program organized into three phases: Wellness, Education and Training, and Employment and Housing.
Residents begin with health evaluations including doctor and dentist visits alongside early therapy sessions during the wellness phase.
Throughout the program clients can expect counseling and substance use education, Bible study and anger management, parenting classes, vocational training, and evidence informed approaches such as Seeking Safety.
I noted separate tracks serve men and single dads as well as women and single moms.

Amenities
Addiction treatment programs provide an opportunity to get your life back on track with access to school classes or college courses.

Addiction Treatment Programs
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.
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.
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 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.
Levels of Care
Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient rehab in California reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program’s design.
Community support and relationship-building are key elements of aftercare rehab in California. You’ll receive recovery coaching, social support, and mentors to help you maintain sobriety after completing initial rehab treatment. This support will continue as long as you need it, which could be weeks or more than a year.
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.
