UPAC Adult and Adolescent Alcohol and Drug Treatment

About UPAC Adult and Adolescent Alcohol and Drug Treatment

UPAC Adult and Adolescent Alcohol and Drug Treatment in San Diego, California, is a place for healing and hope. They offer a compassionate and culturally inclusive environment for individuals struggling with substance use. Their outpatient substance abuse program allows individuals to receive treatment while continuing to fulfill their daily responsibilities of work, school or caring for family. The program is designed to help people fight opioid and alcohol addiction using therapy, medication assisted treatment (MAT) and mental health support.

Recovery Without Leaving Your Life Behind

Many individuals who seek treatment worry about having to step away from their families. This is valuable in the outpatient model of UPAC, where recovery can be achieved without disrupting daily life. It also offers school based services for adolescents and has flexible scheduling, so treatment can be incorporated into an individual’s existing routine instead of the clients having to adjust their lives.

The therapy sessions focus on emotional healing and provide support for trauma, low self esteem and other mental health issues that are normally linked to addiction. MAT includes medications such as Suboxone and methadone to help reduce withdrawal symptoms. Those concerned about the long term physical complications of drug use can receive medical attention for the physical complications of IV drug use.

A Support System for Life

What makes UPAC different from other addiction programs is the provision of case management services. Case management services assist with housing, employment and financial stability. Since many people struggling with addiction have instability in other areas of their lives, these additional resources are important for long-term recovery.

UPAC feels that cultural and linguistic support is important. This support is important because it makes care feel accessible and welcoming, especially for underserved communities. For those who think they can never be sober, peer support, sober activities and aftercare services are there to tell them that there is life after addiction.
