The El Cajon Comprehensive Treatment Center, a facility operated by San Diego Health Alliance Inc., provides essential resources for individuals seeking help with substance use disorder. Located at 234 North Magnolia Avenue in El Cajon, CA, this center is dedicated to offering evidence-based treatment within a supportive, clinical environment. Understanding that recovery is a complex journey, the center employs a holistic approach, addressing both the physical and psychological components of addiction.

Integrated Care Services

The program emphasizes integrated care, recognizing that successful long-term recovery often requires a combination of pharmacological support and therapeutic intervention. Patients receive individualized treatment plans designed to meet their specific needs, ensuring they are placed on the most appropriate path toward stability and healing. This careful planning maximizes the effectiveness of treatment while promoting patient engagement and commitment.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication-Assisted Treatment is a cornerstone of the services offered at the El Cajon Comprehensive Treatment Center. MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. This approach has been proven highly effective in helping individuals overcome opioid addiction by managing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings, allowing patients to focus fully on their recovery journey.

Counseling and Behavioral Therapy

Individual and group counseling sessions are vital components of the treatment regimen. These therapies provide patients with the tools necessary to understand the root causes of their addiction, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and prevent relapse. Key areas of focus include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Relapse prevention planning
  • Peer support and educational groups

Through these therapeutic modalities, patients gain critical insight and build a strong foundation for a sustainable, substance-free life.
