At California Coastal Recovery Centers (CCRC), we understand how overwhelming drug addiction can feel.
That’s why our men’s only programs provide a safe, healing space in Encinitas where men can step away from daily triggers and begin their recovery journey.
Every man’s story is different. That’s why our team works closely with each client to create a treatment plan that reflects his unique needs, challenges, and strengths. Our focus is on helping men rediscover stability and purpose through IOP, PHP, and Aftercare programs.
What Is Drug Addiction?
Drug addiction, also called substance use disorder (SUD), is a long-term medical condition where people lose control over their drug use. Even when it causes harm to health, relationships, or responsibilities, the urge to use drugs feels too strong to resist.
Drugs can affect the brain’s reward system, making it harder to stop without professional help. Over time, tolerance builds, withdrawal symptoms appear, and life can begin to revolve around obtaining and using the substance.
Signs of Drug Addiction
The signs of drug addiction can vary depending on the substance, but some common changes include:
- Physical signs – weight loss, changes in sleep, red eyes, or poor hygiene
- Behavioral signs – secretive behavior, neglecting work or school, financial problems
- Emotional signs – mood swings, anxiety, depression, or irritability
- Social signs – withdrawing from family and friends, strained relationships
If you or someone you love is showing these signs, our drug addiction treatment in Encinitas can provide the care and support needed to move forward.
Drug Misuse vs. Dependence
Not all drug use looks the same. Here’s the difference:
- Drug misuse – Taking medication in a way that isn’t prescribed (using more than directed, or taking drugs meant for someone else). This includes misusing prescription opioids, stimulants, or sedatives.
- Drug dependence/addiction – When the body adapts to the drug and needs it to function. Stopping suddenly causes withdrawal, and life begins to center around obtaining and using drugs.
Both misuse and addiction can be harmful, but dependence often requires more structured care. At CCRC, we provide outpatient treatment programs for men struggling with both prescription and illicit drug use.
Drug Addiction in the United States
Drug addiction is a nationwide challenge. In 2022, more than 48 million people aged 12 or older had used an illicit drug in the past year, and approximately 20.4 million people met the criteria for a substance use disorder.
This issue affects more than individuals—it impacts families, workplaces, and communities. Children in households with drug addiction face greater risks of emotional and behavioral problems. Communities face rising healthcare costs and higher rates of accidents and overdoses.
Even so, treatment works. With the right support, many people can break free from addiction and build healthier, more stable lives.
Supportive Solutions for Men
At CCRC, we know that treatment is not about judgment—it’s about finding the right support for lasting recovery. Our IOP and PHP programs are designed to combine clinical care, holistic healing, and relapse prevention strategies.
Our programs include:
- IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) – Flexible scheduling, group and individual therapy, and accountability that fits daily life.
- PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program + Housing option) – A structured program with housing support that mirrors the stability of inpatient care, without being inpatient.
- Aftercare & Relapse Prevention – Ongoing therapy, alumni support, and planning to prevent relapse.
- Therapeutic Services – Individual, group, and family therapy tailored to men’s needs.
- Holistic Care – Mindfulness, yoga, nutrition, and fitness to support whole-person healing.
- Detox Referrals – While CCRC does not provide detox directly, our team can help connect men with trusted medical detox providers to ensure a safe first step when needed.
