How to Get Started with Us
The Initial Call
Your first contact with Apex Recovery will be a confidential, non-judgmental conversation with an expert care provider. Besides insurance verification and a brief clinical screening, this initial call will help you determine which type of treatment may achieve your goals.
In-Person Assessment
After that first call, you’ll meet a member of our care team in person to begin building your treatment plan. As they better understand your wants and needs, they’ll help you set expectations for personalized outpatient rehab and recommend evidence-based therapies that meet them.
Your Treatment Team
As you start on the path to recovery, you’ll meet your dedicated care team — the licensed therapists, case managers, and other professionals who’ll guide you toward sobriety and offer support in the long run.

PHP vs. IOP care in San Diego
Intensive Outpatient Programs
Intensive Outpatient Programs, or IOPs, offer a structured level of care that includes several hours of therapy and support each week. While they still allow you to live at home, they’re often a valuable next step for those transitioning from inpatient treatment. If you’re managing your symptoms but still need ongoing support, an IOP can provide the consistency and accountability needed for continued progress.
Partial Hospitalization Programs
Partial Hospitalization Programs, or PHPs, build on the work accomplished during initial substance use disorder treatment. They provide highly structured care that helps patients solidify their progress and build healthy habits for long-term wellness. And though they call for more effort than an IOP, they also let you keep living at home — and provide an insurance-friendly alternative to inpatient treatment.
The most important thing to remember: Both are well-respected avenues for care. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) lists them at Level 2 in their Criteria, indicating a greater level of care than standard outpatient programs.

What Others Are Saying About Their Journey
A Day in the Life at Our Outpatient Rehab Facility
Determining expectations for evidence-based outpatient treatment should be simple — and at Apex Recovery, it is. An average day at our San Diego care center looks like this.
Morning Arrival
Each day in treatment begins with a welcoming check-in. After connecting with your care team and the rest of the Apex community, you’ll set daily intentions to help guide your day’s work.
Group Therapy
With help from licensed clinicians, you’ll engage with other patients during group therapy sessions — all implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based methodologies.
One-on-One Care
After group work, you’ll sit down with your primary therapist for one-on-one conversations to address the underlying mental health conditions that may be fueling your addiction. This is your time to open up — you can discuss personal milestones, trauma, anything you need.
Wellness Work
Our mental health programs make ample use of wellness practices — everything from art therapy to mindfulness. These sessions give you additional tools to use when cravings strike, and help preserve the work done in traditional therapy.
Evening Departure
Finally, head home for the night armed with an action plan to help you navigate real-world scenarios. You’ll put your new skills to use in everyday life until it’s time for you to visit us again. (And if you find yourself struggling, call us: We’re always there to support you.)
Give Yourself a New Day to Look Forward To
Building Your Support Network: Family & Alumni Involvement
Strong relationships matter during and after treatment; where evidence-based methodologies drop off, your bonds with peers and loved ones fill the gaps. Apex Recovery recognizes the value of a sturdy support network, and our care team will help you build one that you can lean on well into the future.
Healing Old Relationships
Family therapy sessions, educational seminars, and other workshops help undo the damage addiction causes. With time, effort, and the assistance of our licensed clinicians, you’ll regain your loved ones’ trust — and rebuild relationships that are key to sustainable sobriety.
Creating New Connections
Your connection to Apex Recovery doesn’t end when you graduate. As an alumnus, you’ll access community support events, participate in check-ins, and have the chance to join peer groups that encourage your ongoing growth and success.
Our Core Philosophy of Support
There’s no schedule for outpatient substance abuse treatment, and Apex Recovery will never force one on you. Our philosophy centers on truly individualized care, where time isn’t of the essence. Your care team will dynamically adjust your treatment plan as you progress — and if you happen to stumble, they’ll gladly revisit past sessions to get you back on track. Why? Because there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery; person-to-person care will always prove more effective than a generic checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! While they differ in average time commitment, both PHPs and IOPs allow you to juggle treatment with academic and professional responsibilities. It’s one advantage they have over more traditional in-patient care plans — and a vital one at that.
Our care philosophy emphasizes flexibility over fixed scheduling — tying your recovery to a calendar may demoralize you when progress doesn’t meet expectations. We adjust our treatment plans on a session-by-session basis to build a stable foundation; when you finally graduate, you’ll feel secure in your ability to handle real-world scenarios.

Determining the appropriate duration for drug or alcohol rehabilitation varies for each individual, as recovery is a highly personalized process. Our standard treatment programs last around 90 days, but the optimal length depends on factors such as the severity of the addiction, personal progress, and specific needs. Our addiction treatment specialists will work closely with you to assess your situation and recommend a program tailored for long-term success.
Our facility offers a premium setting for clients who wish to begin the journey to sobriety. Based on the nature and severity of your addiction, we collaborate with you to determine whether an inpatient or outpatient program aligns best with your recovery goals. Following this decision, our dedicated team crafts a personalized treatment plan that addresses not only the symptoms of your addiction but also its underlying causes. We employ a comprehensive approach, integrating evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with holistic therapies like mindfulness and yoga to promote overall well-being. Our mission is to empower every client to leave our care with confidence and a solid foundation for a substance-free life.
