San Diego Intervention

What is an Intervention?

An intervention is a structured process designed to help individuals recognize the need for professional support to address addiction and mental health challenges. Many people face co-occurring disorders, where addiction and mental health issues create a complex cycle of dependency and worsening symptoms. For example, someone with anxiety may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope, only to develop an addiction that further damages their mental health.

At Shoreline Recovery Center, our team specializes in guiding individuals and families through effective intervention strategies. We provide support, education, and the tools needed to begin the journey toward recovery.

Why it Matters

Without timely intervention, the consequences of addiction can be severe, including:

  • Worsening addiction

  • Declining mental health

  • Physical health deterioration

  • Legal problems

  • Strained relationships

  • Financial instability

  • Overdose risk

  • Homelessness

  • Irreversible consequences

  • Missed opportunities for recovery

A well-planned intervention can prevent these outcomes by encouraging individuals to seek help before addiction causes lasting harm.

Intervention Treatment in San Diego

Through therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Integrated Group Therapy, our San Diego intervention program gives clients the tools to break the cycle of addiction and mental health struggles.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: CBT helps individuals identify and reduce harmful beliefs and behaviors. The focus is on building healthier habits and learning skills for a stable, sober lifestyle.
  • Integrated Group Therapy: This therapy addresses both mental health symptoms and the effects of substance abuse at the same time, offering comprehensive support.
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy: DBT aims to reduce self-harming behaviors, which are often linked to addiction and mental health issues.
  • Individual Psychotherapy: Individual sessions focus on addressing behaviors related to substance abuse or specific mental health challenges.

The Dangers of Self-Medication

Self-medication is a common but dangerous behavior for those who may need an intervention. Using drugs or alcohol to ease mental health symptoms often leads to addiction and worsens underlying issues. An intervention can help individuals recognize these patterns and guide them toward healthier ways to manage their mental health.
