Is Drug Rehab Right for You?
Drug rehab can look different for everyone, depending on what you use and what’s going on in your life. Our team builds your plan around you, not a one-size-fits-all program.
Drug rehab is usually a good fit if
- You keep using drugs or misusing prescription medication, even when you want to stop
- You use more than one substance, or switch between them
- Using is taking a toll on your job, money, health or relationships
- Anxiety, depression or past trauma are part of the picture
- You need treatment that works around a job, school or family

Rebuilding Routines and Relationships
Put back the sleep, structure and connections that recovery depends on.

What is outpatient drug rehab?
It’s structured treatment for drug use where you live at home and come to the center for group and individual therapy. You get more support than a weekly counseling appointment while keeping your daily life going. At Shoreline it also includes psychiatric care and medication management when you need them.
What drugs do you treat?
We treat stimulants like cocaine and methamphetamine, prescription medications, and combinations of substances. We also have separate pages for alcohol, heroin and other opioids, Xanax and marijuana. If you’re not sure where your use fits, call and we’ll talk it through.
Do you offer detox?
No. Shoreline provides outpatient care. If you need to withdraw under medical care, our admissions team refers you to a licensed detox provider and helps you start with us once it’s clinically appropriate.
Is there drug rehab near Carlsbad and Oceanside?
Yes. Shoreline is at 183 Calle Magdalena, Suite 101 in Encinitas, and we serve adults across San Diego County, including Carlsbad, Oceanside, Solana Beach, Del Mar, San Marcos and Escondido. If getting here is hard, Virtual IOP is open to adults anywhere in California.
Is outpatient drug rehab enough, or do I need residential?
It depends on your health, your use and whether you have a safe, stable place to live. Many adults do well in outpatient care. If you need 24-hour care first, we refer you to a licensed residential provider and help you step into our program afterward.
How long does drug rehab last?
It depends on your progress and your goals. Your therapist reviews your plan with you as you go and helps you step down to lighter support when you’re ready.
Does insurance cover drug rehab at Shoreline?
We’re in network with HealthNet, Tricare and Anthem, and we accept most other private plans out of network. We don’t accept Medicaid or Medicare. We verify your benefits before you start at no cost, so you know your coverage up front.
What happens at my first assessment?
You talk with our clinical team about your history, what you use and what you want from treatment. We look at your mental health too, and a psychiatric evaluation is part of care when you need it. Then we recommend a level of care.
