Veterans Village of San Diego New Resolve

About Veterans Village of San Diego New Resolve

Veterans Village of San Diego’s New Resolve is a residential, licensed (formerly state-licensed for substance use disorder treatment) sober living and transitional housing program located in Escondido, California. It serves veterans, including those with families, who are recovering from substance abuse, often with co-occurring mental health conditions, and facing homelessness or housing instability.

New Resolve’s mission is to provide structured, supportive housing that emphasizes sobriety, inner growth, and independence, helping veterans reclaim stability and purpose during recovery.

Veteran Sober Living and Recovery Housing Care

New Resolve’s core specialty is veteran sober living. This is long-term residential support where individuals commit to sobriety while rebuilding their lives. Residents live in a structured environment with oversight, case management, mental wellness check-ins, and peer support. Though the facility’s state license for formal substance use disorder treatment was suspended in September 2024, the sober living and transitional housing components remain fully operational.

Treatment within this specialty typically involves group sessions, individual or family counseling, and wraparound services to address dual diagnosis issues. Sessions focus on relapse prevention, coping strategies, and life skills alongside goal setting for employment and independent living. The program supports recovery milestones and helps veterans cultivate community integration and sustainable sobriety.

Support for Co Occurring Conditions and Veteran Life Transition

Beyond sober living, New Resolve places strong emphasis on dual diagnosis care, treating mental health challenges like PTSD, depression, or anxiety in tandem with substance use issues. Clinicians or support staff help residents navigate both realms with therapy, wellness resources, and consistent mental health monitoring. Veteran life transitions are also addressed, like adjusting to civilian routines, reconnecting with family, and accessing VA benefits.

How to Begin Healing and Rebuilding

New Resolve serves veterans and their families in Escondido and across North County San Diego via in-person residential and transitional housing programs, not via inpatient rehab; telehealth is not the primary mode of service.

The team includes experienced case managers, support services, and mental health resources, backed by Veterans Village of San Diego’s long history of serving veterans. While no longer licensed as a fully regulated substance use disorder treatment provider, New Resolve offers sliding scale and VA funding options where applicable; insurance coverage through state licensure (such as Drug Medi-Cal) is currently unavailable for substance use treatment.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Dual Diagnosis
Many people with addiction issues also have a mental health diagnosis, which is known as a dual diagnosis. Be sure to find a rehab in California that can treat both. Whether you need detox, inpatient treatment, or outpatient care, a dual diagnosis program will offer specific support for your mental health needs alongside traditional substance use treatment.

Levels of Care

1
Inpatient Rehab
There are multiple options for addiction treatment in California. During inpatient treatment, you live at the facility and are able to focus on creating a new way of life. During inpatient treatment, clients are able to work on their recovery through counseling, activities, and holistic treatment like mindfulness, art therapy, and more.
2
Outpatient Rehab
Attending outpatient treatment in California allows you to get evidence-based care without living in the facility, helping you establish long-term recovery. Building a new life for yourself takes time, and it’s important to have enough support throughout the process. Outpatient treatment allows you to have more intensive or less intensive help, depending on your needs.

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
In California, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you identify wrong thinking that can create impulsive actions. This makes it much easier to reach long-term recovery. Substance use treatment includes detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, and CBT may be a part of each of these stages. The goal is to help clients identify distorted thinking, replace it with rational thinking, and change their responses accordingly.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
In California, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) helps you learn healthy coping strategies and build your ability to manage stressful situations. This makes it much easier to reach long-term recovery. Substance use treatment includes detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, and DBT may be a part of each of these stages. The goal is to help clients develop the skills they need to solve the problems they face without substance use.
Family Therapy
Attending family therapy in California is a way to address broken relationships and dysfunction, helping you establish long-term recovery. There are several goals in family therapy. Some sessions may be focused on specific past events, while others address current broken relationships or how good intentions have gone astray. Over time, family relationships can be restored, making recovery easier.
Group Therapy
Attending group therapy in California is a way to overcome shame and isolation, helping you establish long-term recovery. Substance use treatment includes detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, and group therapy may be a part of each of these stages. The goal is to help clients support each other, provide accountability, and relate to each other’s experiences.
Individual Therapy
During individual therapy in California, clients work with a professional to address specific individual concerns. Some of the topics covered in individual therapy include developing healthy coping skills, addressing past events that may have played a part in substance use, and building a support network.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma-informed therapy in California can provide a way to process past events and create better coping strategies as you work through substance use treatment. Both inpatient treatment and outpatient care can include trauma-informed therapy, which helps you create a feeling of safety, access peer support, embrace the validity of your feelings, and create healthy coping skills.
