Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment in Del Mar, CA
Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment in Del Mar, CA
Del Mar isn’t just a beautiful backdrop—it’s a restorative environment that actively supports co-occurring disorder recovery. The rhythmic sound of the waves, the salt air, and the open trails along Torrey Pines provide a natural contrast to the chaos of active addiction and unmanaged mental health symptoms. Our treatment center is located just minutes from Del Mar’s beaches, allowing clients to participate in beach walks, mindfulness by the water, and outdoor group therapy sessions that reduce cortisol and improve mood. This setting is particularly effective for clients with anxiety or depressive disorders, who often find the calm coastal atmosphere a gentle catalyst for deeper therapeutic work.
What makes our Del Mar program unique:
- Expert dual diagnosis clinicians who specialize in both addiction medicine and psychiatry
- Flexible lengths of stay from 30 to 90 days, tailored to the severity of the co-occurring condition
- Family program that educates loved ones about dual diagnosis and repairs relational trauma
- Continued care partnerships with Del Mar therapists, psychiatrists, and local 12-step meetings like those at Del Mar Community Church
Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis or have struggled for years with untreated mental health and addiction, our Del Mar team is here. We treat the person, not just the diagnosis—in a place where healing comes naturally.

At our Del Mar center, we know that addiction rarely travels alone. Co-occurring disorders—where substance use and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or PTSD intersect—require integrated, dual-diagnosis care. Treating one without the other often leads to relapse, which is why our Del Mar program is built to address both together, in one seamless plan.
Nestled between the Pacific and the San Dieguito Lagoon, Del Mar offers a tranquil setting for healing the whole person. Our co-occurring disorder treatment combines evidence-based therapies, psychiatric support, and holistic practices, all tailored to the unique needs of each client. You don't have to choose which condition to treat first—we treat both, at once, in a place built for recovery.
