Addiction is not a character flaw. It’s a chronic, treatable condition that affects the brain, body, and behavior — and it requires real, compassionate care. At Amity San Diego, we offer a full spectrum of evidence-based addiction treatments designed to support clients at every stage of recovery.
San Diego addiction treatment centers like Amity San Diego offer powerful solutions for your recovery. Whether you’re struggling with opioids, alcohol, stimulants, or polysubstance use, our programs are tailored to treat the whole person — not just the diagnosis. That means medical care, therapy, wellness support, and, when appropriate, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as part of an integrated recovery plan.
Healing from addiction is possible — and you don’t have to do it alone.
Our Comprehensive Approach to Treating Addiction
Addiction impacts more than just physical health. It affects relationships, identity, decision-making, and emotional regulation. That’s why we combine medical interventions with therapeutic support and community-based care.
Our San Diego outpatient addiction treatment options include:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) – Full-day clinical care for clients needing intensive, structured support without residential treatment
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) – A flexible, part-time option for those transitioning from higher levels of care or balancing recovery with daily responsibilities
Individual and Group Therapy – CBT, DBT, trauma-informed therapy, and relapse prevention
Dual Diagnosis Treatment – For individuals experiencing addiction alongside mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) – When clinically appropriate, medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal, and stabilize recovery
Aftercare & Alumni Support – Ongoing support and relapse prevention for life beyond treatment
Every treatment plan at Amity San Diego is customized — based on your history, goals, and clinical needs. You’re never just a number here. You’re a whole person, and we treat you that way.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
MAT is an effective, FDA-approved approach that combines addiction medications with counseling and behavioral therapy. It’s especially helpful for those recovering from opioid or alcohol use disorders. Contrary to myths, MAT doesn’t “replace one drug with another” — it stabilizes the brain and reduces cravings so individuals can engage meaningfully in therapy and rebuild their lives.
At Amity San Diego, we provide MAT without stigma. Our clinical team will walk you through your options and help determine if MAT is the right fit for your recovery journey.

Suboxone Treatment
Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, commonly used in opioid addiction recovery. It helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings without causing the same euphoric high that opioids produce. Suboxone can be a life-changing tool — especially when paired with therapy and structured outpatient care.
At Amity, Suboxone treatment is closely monitored and always integrated into a broader plan focused on long-term recovery and personal

Naltrexone Treatment
Naltrexone is a non-addictive medication used to treat both opioid and alcohol dependence. It works by blocking the brain’s receptors responsible for feeling pleasure from substances, which can reduce the urge to drink or use.
Naltrexone is often used in the form of daily tablets or extended-release injections (Vivitrol). At Amity San Diego, we offer personalized naltrexone treatment as part of a medically supervised recovery plan that includes therapy, wellness care, and relapse prevention.
