Stimulant use disorder is one of the fastest-growing addiction crises in San Diego County, and it rarely looks like other addictions. Methamphetamine, cocaine, crack, and misused prescription stimulants like Adderall and Vyvanse can drive people to extremes, binge-and-crash cycles, sleeplessness that runs for days, paranoia, and a pull that feels impossible to outlast on willpower alone.
Broadview Recovery treats all of it, including the complex and high-acuity cases other programs turn away.
Here is the part most people do not hear: there is currently no FDA-approved medication that treats stimulant addiction the way buprenorphine treats opioids. That does not mean treatment does not work, it means the right treatment is built differently. The strongest evidence points to structured behavioral therapy, and our program is organized around it.
We pair contingency management and cognitive behavioral therapy with medical monitoring, psychiatric care for the crash and any co-occurring conditions, and a clear step-down plan so progress holds after you leave.
Stimulant use disorder is a medical condition in which a person continues using stimulant drugs (such as cocaine, methamphetamine, or prescription stimulants like Adderall) despite the harm it causes to their health, relationships, or daily functioning.
It’s characterized by symptoms like intense cravings, building tolerance (needing more to get the same effect), withdrawal when not using, and an inability to cut back despite wanting to.
Our person-centered model meets you where you are, stabilizes the crash, addresses the psychiatric symptoms stimulants leave behind.
Individual therapy is one‑on‑one counseling that addresses the personal drivers of substance use and builds relapse‑prevention skills.
Group therapy means clinician‑led peer groups where people share experience and practice coping skills.
Family Therapy & Education involves family from day one to improve communication and set practical boundaries.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for thinking and behavior change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Brainspotting when trauma-focused work is indicated
With stimulants such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants, common symptoms include fatigue, increased sleep or insomnia, vivid or unpleasant dreams, increased appetite, difficulty concentrating, and slowed movement.
The most challenging symptoms are often psychological: depressed mood, anxiety, irritability, and powerful cravings.
Our team manages symptoms with care calibrated to your specific situation, including medications where appropriate, environmental support (low stimulation, rest, hydration, nutrition), and clinical attention as often as needed.
High-milligram methadone tapers, polysubstance withdrawals, pregnant patients, complex psychiatric histories — these are the exact situations our medical model is built for.
Vitals check, physician rounds, medications, breakfast
Comfort interventions, hydration, brief educational group (when stable)
Light meal, restorative time
Individual nursing check-in, optional psychoeducation, rest
Final vitals, sleep hygiene, overnight care on-site
24/7 monitoring.
The schedule is flexible — patients in early detox often spend most of the first 24-48 hours resting. We don’t push group attendance until you’re ready.
Most patients transition directly into our residential program for continued therapy and stabilization. For those who choose a different path, we coordinate the transition before discharge — including PHP/IOP referrals, MAT continuation, sober-living placement, and outpatient therapy. Aftercare is part of detox planning, not a conversation that happens afterward.
If you’re looking for a small, doctor-led detox center in San Diego, Broadview Recovery focuses on one thing first: keeping your person safe and making sure the next step is already planned. I’m Dr. David Deyhimy, board‑certified in addiction medicine and internal medicine, and I lead our clinical team here in Lemon Grove.
The levels of care describe how we treat stimulant addiction and co-occurring conditions. Inpatient care gives 24/7 medical supervision for safe withdrawal and stabilization. Outpatient options prioritize ongoing medication management and counseling while you keep daily responsibilities.
AKA: physician‑supervised withdrawal management.
Medical detox manages physical withdrawal under a physician-led plan. It’s for people at moderate-to-severe withdrawal risk or with medical complications. At Broadview we run a small, 12‑bed model so monitoring stays close and personal.
What you get:
The “stabilization and therapy” process.
Residential treatment provides structured daily therapy and on-site stabilization after detox. This level suits people who need routine, mental-health support, and family involvement. We build individualized plans with physician oversight and involve families from day one.
Key benefits:
For example: Buprenorphine, Suboxone, or Naltrexone as indicated.
MAT pairs FDA‑approved medications with counseling to reduce cravings and overdose risk. We start MAT when clinically indicated and coordinate community prescribing for continuity. MAT often continues months to years, guided by clinical need.
Why it matters:
Outpatient aftercare is the step-down plan that keeps your person connected to care after residential treatment. We refer to PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) and IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) and schedule those appointments before discharge. That means the first follow-up visit is already on the calendar when they leave Broadview Recovery.
What we coordinate:
Level of care | What it does | Typical duration | Who it’s for | How Broadview delivers it | Our take |
Medical Detox | Manages acute withdrawal with medical monitoring | 3–7 days (varies) | People with high withdrawal risk or medical needs | Physician‑supervised protocols, vital checks, small 12‑bed setting | Safe, physician‑led detox reduces immediate medical risk and sets the stage for next steps. |
Residential Treatment | Stabilizes mood and begins behavioral work | 7–28+ days depending on needs | People needing structured daily care and co‑occurring support | Daily therapy, family involvement, physician oversight, individualized plans | Longer stays let clinical work take root while families stay engaged. |
Medication‑Assisted Treatment (MAT) | Uses buprenorphine/Suboxone or naltrexone plus counseling | Ongoing, often months to years as indicated | People who benefit from medication plus psychosocial support | Physician initiates/oversees meds, coordinates community prescribing | MAT is a core clinical tool when paired with therapy and follow-up. |
Outpatient Aftercare | Step-down therapy and medication management in the community | Ongoing — scheduled before discharge | People resuming work, school, or family roles who still need support | Case-managed referrals; PHP/IOP scheduled pre‑discharge (not on-site) | Pre-scheduled aftercare prevents abrupt disconnects and improves continuity. |
Partial Hospitalization (PHP) | Intensive day program as a step-down or alternative to residential | Weeks to months, depending on clinical needs | People needing structured day treatment without 24/7 residence | Coordinate referrals and scheduling with local PHP partners | PHP provides structured care while allowing daytime participation in daily life. |
We evaluate medical needs, social supports, and insurance to recommend the right level and arrange referrals before discharge. If you’re worried they’ll be treated like a number, know this: our 12‑bed model, physician leadership, and pre-scheduled aftercare mean we keep attention where it matters.
We help your loved one detox safely and leave with a clear, scheduled next step. If your person is struggling with substance use disorder (SUD), we provide physician-led medical care, counseling, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to manage withdrawal and reduce overdose risk.
Binge-and-crash cycles: Days of use followed by a hard physical and emotional crash.
Sleeplessness and weight loss: Going days without real sleep or food.
Paranoia or psychosis: Stimulant-induced suspicion, hallucinations, or delusions, especially with meth.
Prescription escalation: Adderall or Vyvanse use that has moved beyond the prescribed dose or purpose.
Cardiac and physical strain: Chest pain, racing heart, and exhaustion from prolonged use.
Keep your person safe during detox and treat both the addiction and the underlying mental health issues so relapse risk is lower and discharge plans are clear. If you need dual diagnosis treatment San Diego families trust, Broadview provides physician‑led, family‑inclusive care in Lemon Grove and East County.
We screen for suitability for advanced options and confirm each on intake. Possible modalities include EMDR, TMS, Brainspotting, GeneSight genetic testing. Availability varies and must be verified with admissions.
You’ll meet the physician and psychiatric provider early so medical risks and mental health concerns are discussed with you and your person. Family involvement is built into assessments and discharge planning, with consent, so loved ones understand medication plans and outpatient referrals. Before discharge, Broadview Recovery’s case management schedules follow‑up care that addresses both substance use and mental health needs.
Contact our admissions team to confirm availability, verify options, and schedule a clinical assessment.
Get safe, physician‑supervised detox and a clear next step after care. If you’re searching for stimulant addiction treatment in San Diego, Broadview Recovery focuses on safety, family involvement, and coordinated discharge planning.
Your care is physician‑led by Dr. David Deyhimy, a board‑certified addiction‑medicine and internal‑medicine physician. He oversees medical detox, medication choices, and clinical risk management.
We are intentionally small, 12 beds, so the clinical team knows each person by name. That small scale means privacy, faster adjustments to care, and real continuity.
Family is part of care from day one through structured education, consent‑based sessions, and regular clinical updates. Families tell us that being included reduces anxiety and helps recovery hold after discharge.
Before someone leaves, we schedule outpatient appointments and coordinate referrals so the next level of care starts without a gap. This step‑down planning is part of the program, not an afterthought.
We provide MAT (Medication‑Assisted Treatment) and physician‑supervised withdrawal management that follows ASAM and NIDA guidance. These medically guided treatments reduce overdose risk and improve retention in care.
