"Our experience specializing in treating veterans has also led to excellent substance abuse and mental health treatment for law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, corrections, dispatch, and other public safety professionals." - Jay Wylie, Operations Manager (and 22-year Naval Veteran)
Confidential, Trusted, and Effective Treatment for First Responders
When we celebrated our 10-year Anniversary last October, there was a huge contingent of veterans in attendance to witness our facility get several proclamations from the County of San Diego, our Congressional Representatives, and other local leaders.
Just as veterans make up the fabric of San Diego's citizenry, they represent 20% (or more) of our city's first responders.
So, it is no surprise that our outpatient drug rehabilitation program, located in the Kearny Mesa area of San Diego, has also become very popular with first responders, for whom it is very effective. Our program's privacy and competency is valued by:
- Law Enforcement Professionals
- Firefighters
- Corrections Workers
- Dispatch workers
- Public Safety Professionals
First responders face high rates of substance use disorder, mental health disorders, and suicide. More first responders die from suicide than in the line of duty each year.
Understanding the Challenges that First Responders Face
Some physical challenges that first responders like firemen and police officers face are:
- Chronic stress
- Physical strain
- Working Long Hours
- Lack of sleep
If follows that many first responders also turn to alcohol or other drugs as a coping mechanism, which in turn, increases the risk for suicide.
Jay Wylie's experience in the Navy and then as a Veteran-in-recovery has led to Confidential Recovery's staff truly understanding the unique challenges that first reesponders go through. First responders are trained to adopt the 'warrior ethos' and put their own needs last. They are constantly putting themselves in harm's way for a public that does not appreciate their sacrifice.
Discreet, Structured, Clinically-Validated Outpatient Recovery
Our outpatient program designed for working adults who are employed and live at home. Generally, our clients are high-functioning individuals who share the need for treatment in a confidential environment.
We provide long-term, sustainable treatment for substance abuse disorders. Confidential Recovery is an excellent option for continued treatment and support once individuals have been stabilized in a detox or a residential treatment program.
From alcohol to opioids, our clients receive treatment tailored to their needs. We believe that “one size doesn’t fit all” when it comes to treatment approaches. Each individual will participate in the development of their own self-care plan, which is necessary for long-term sobriety and sustainable recovery.

Sustainable Recovery in Our IOP and Outpatient Treatment Programs
During our outpatient process, our clients should be maintaining or striving for complete abstinence. Our outpatient program features the frequent celebration of our clients achieving sobriety milestones. As the progress continues, we can gradually "step-down" the level of care to minimize the time commitment in order to shift the client's time and focus back onto pursuing career, family time and relationships, etc.
How Long is an Outpatient Drug Program?
The longer that someone in recovery can take part in an outpatient program, the better the likelihood of achieving successful, long-term recovery. Clients typically attend counseling three to five times a week, totaling nine or more hours of weekly treatment.
Therefore, during each week of outpatient participation, a client will have ample support and education to assist them in thriving in their everyday lives, while filling their toolkits with resources and coping mechanisms that will help them live a happy, joyous, and free life.
The longer this participation continues, the better the outcome will be.
Is an Outpatient Program Right for Me?
An outpatient program allows for support to be given while giving the opportunity for the person to be responsible for their recovery and continue their career. IOP Programs are well-suited for individuals who are able to be self-sufficient, but want to continue enjoying the support of a recovery system.
Clients in outpatient need to be aware of their emotional state even while away from the treatment center. Those who are in early recovery from a strong mental and physical addiction might require who require a higher level of care.
Outpatient drug programs are best for those who are confident that they can maintain a stable lifestyle during treatment without around the clock accountability. Intensive Outpatient Treatment also emphasizes self-management techniques. Ideally, those participating in a program such as this will find and utilize be motivated enough to seek out twelve-step programs to support their recovery efforts.
Get Back on Track With Our Outpatient Program
Confidential Recovery is a great option for those who are "higher functioning" and want a recovery support system while they continue to live at home and pursue their careers and family/parenting responsibilities. Confidential Recovery is also a good 'step-down' in the level of care for those who have done a more traditional drug/alcohol detoxification and residential drug program and have recently returned home (or are in a sober living home). Many of our clients combine our outpatient program with private therapy, or medication assisted treatment.
