El Cajon Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC), located in El Cajon, California, provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who have opioid addictions. MAT combines prescription medications and counseling to effectively treat opioid use disorder, the clinical term for opioid addiction. MAT is an evidence-based approach to opioid addiction treatment that has a long history of success. Unlike some methadone clinics that provide only one medication, our CTC offers methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone, and Suboxone. Each of these medications plays a crucial role in alleviating the symptoms commonly experienced during opioid withdrawal. These medications can help people actively engage in treatment and make strides toward recovery. In addition to medication, MAT includes individual and group therapy sessions. Therapy offers support and guidance for people as they pursue recovery.

Fashion Valley Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC), located in San Diego, California, is a highly regarded outpatient treatment provider for adults age 18 and older who have addictions to heroin, prescription painkillers, and other opioids. Our center specializes in medication-assisted treatment (MAT), a comprehensive approach to opioid addiction treatment that combines prescription medication with counseling to promote long-term recovery. Decades of extensive research has consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of MAT in treating opioid use disorder. In the past, methadone clinics that offered MAT were limited to a single medication option. However, at Fashion Valley CTC, we can prescribe methadone, naltrexone, buprenorphine, and Suboxone for our patients. When taken under the guidance of a trained professional, these medications can help people discontinue opioid use without enduring the distressing symptoms of withdrawal. However, to achieve lasting success, people need to learn healthy coping skills and make lifestyle changes. Individual and group counseling plays a vital role in offering support and encouragement as people pursue recovery.

Any person who uses opioids is at risk for developing an addiction to them. Because opioid use slows the body’s production of endorphins, the body needs more and more opioids to feel good. This tolerance can cause people to experience painful withdrawal symptoms if they stop using opioids, which can make them feel anxious about taking steps to end their use of the substance. Located just outside of San Diego, California, Chula Vista Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which includes prescription medications that can lessen the intensity of withdrawal symptoms. Our clinic offers multiple medications, and each of those medications has been approved by the FDA for use in MAT programs in the United States. Prior to beginning treatment, you will participate in a thorough assessment. Based on the results of that assessment, one of our team members will determine whether a prescription for methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone, or Suboxone will be best for you. When people receive medication-assisted treatment, they can gain the strength and clarity needed to participate in effective addiction therapy as they begin their recovery journey.

Montecatini Eating Disorder Treatment Center serves adolescent girls and women ages 16-55 who have eating disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns and addictions. Because we recognize that eating disorders can be complex, we employ a range of treatment modalities, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). For clients who are struggling with co-occurring addictions, we may also incorporate the 12-Step model of recovery into their individualized treatment plan. In our residential program, clients can participate in individual therapy approximately three times per week. Family therapy is also available, and daily group therapy sessions — led by therapists, registered dietitians, nurses, art therapists, and more — give clients the chance to take part in evidence-based therapies, discuss relevant topics, and engage in creative activities, all in a group setting. Clients typically remain in our residential program for 30-60 days depending on their unique needs.

Typically, clients remain in our PHP for 30-90 days; however, your precise length of stay will depend on your individual needs. Participants in the PHP usually meet six days per week and may participate in a range of therapies, including evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). In our PHP, clients can also meet with medical staff multiple times each week to receive medical care and may also see a psychiatrist once a week for support with medication management.
