Intensive Outpatient Program in Camp Pendleton South, CA
Camp Pendleton South presents unique challenges for recovery: high operational tempo, frequent relocations, and the constant presence of military culture. Our IOP is designed with these realities in mind. We offer a confidential, outpatient setting where you can attend therapy without drawing attention at work or risking your security clearance—a key concern for many service members. With sessions held just off base, you can easily fit treatment between work, physical training, and family time.
We also leverage the local community's strengths. You'll participate in groups with other Camp Pendleton South residents who share similar experiences, reducing the isolation that often fuels addiction. Our program coordinates with base resources, such as the behavioral health clinic and chaplain services, to provide a seamless continuum of care. Whether you're an active-duty member, spouse, or veteran, our IOP offers a practical, effective path to recovery without leaving your life behind.

At our Camp Pendleton South intensive outpatient program (IOP), we understand the unique pressures of military life—from deployments to family transitions—that can impact recovery. Our IOP offers a structured, supportive path to sobriety without requiring residential stay, so you can continue your duty and home routines.
Located minutes from base, our program provides 9–12 hours of therapy weekly, blending individual counseling, group sessions, and family involvement. We specialize in treating addiction and co-occurring conditions like PTSD, ensuring care that respects your service and privacy.
