Accepted Insurance

Casa Palmera Del Mar works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
The Intensive Outpatient Program at Casa Palmera is designed for those who need minimal structure, and who are able to remain independent within their families and communities. This enables patients to continue, as much as possible, with jobs, family connections and responsibilities.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
When an individual is in denial about their substance use disorder, their loved ones may organize a drug intervention in California. This effort involves gently but assertively confronting the individual about their substance use and sharing how it has affected those who care about them. A professional interventionist may also attend this gathering. Their expertise with intervention services can prove helpful in guiding the conversation to a positive result.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
postpartum-program thumbnail image
Postpartum Program
The postpartum period is a sensitive time, especially for women in addiction recovery. Rehabs with specialized programs for new mothers will offer compassionate, personalized care to meet each client's needs as they transition from pregnancy to this season of life. Care teams may include obstetricians, pediatricians, and social workers working collaboratively to give women, children, and families a healthy future.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a particularly integral tool when looking to treat all aspects of a person’s condition. This model of therapy assists in reducing stress and depression. It also works to change negative thought patterns by creating and developing new ways of coping with life’s difficult stresses. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a form of psychotherapy and can be used to treat those suffering from trauma, eating disorders and addiction.

While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

The goal of couples therapy in California is to strengthen the couple's relationship. The therapist may take one or more approaches to counseling which may include the Gottman method, emotionally focused therapy, behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic couple's therapy.

Every week the family is contacted by the Primary Therapist to keep them aware of what is happening in the patient’s treatment. These weekly contacts create a line of communication between the family and the Primary Therapist, who is responsible for managing the care of the patient.

While in rehab treatment, you may work on developing various life skills to help you in long term recovery. These may include resilience, interpersonal skills, and self awareness. The focus will be on developing healthy habits for self care and relationships so you have the skills you need to manage day to day life.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health. Nutrition is a core part of a healthy lifestyle, but Casa Palmera understands that nutrition can be both overwhelming and seemingly complex topic. Casa Palmera’s individualized nutrition plans reinforce the basic principles of healthy eating and living.

Recreational therapy is included in alcohol and drug addiction treatment to focus on engaging you in healthy activities that reduce your cravings and improve your overall health and well being. When you participate in group sports, art, or nature walks, you develop new interests and find a meaningful way to spend your time and reduce your cravings.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

The goal of nicotine replacement therapy in California is to mitigate the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. It cuts down on your cravings by supplying a small dose of nicotine without exposing your body to the toxins of cigarette smoke.

    Casa Palmera behavioral health treatment center is tucked into a picturesque setting along the San Dieguito River Valley, only three miles inland from the village of Del Mar – but close enough to the coast to still benefit from ocean breezes. For visiting family members as well as patients of Casa Palmera behavioral health facility, there is no place more tranquil and peaceful along Southern California’s coast. Del Mar is a laid-back beach town that embodies an unhurried, relaxed vibe. Because the city covers only 2 square miles, most people can get everywhere they need to go without a car. With more than two miles of coastline and several public parks, Del Mar offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ocean and the outdoors. The oceanfront Seagrove Park and adjoining Powerhouse Park are perfect places to stretch out on the grass for a picnic or some people watching, while the beaches provide ample opportunities to swim, surf or collect shells.

I can not say enough about Casa Palmera. My son needed help with his depression and I was not sure which way to go with his care. I really wanted to find the best place possible for him and I found it in Casa Palmera. They truly cared so much. My son is in a positive place now. And was given new life skills to get him through the ups and downs.

I spent my time here in May 2024 for alcoholism and mental health issues. The spa, acupuncture and fancy dining with white tablecloths as advertised on their website are not there. There is lots of patients, usually around 60-70 patients staying at one time; you get a whole mixed set of personalities and community. The place is short staffed and therefore problems that arise are not solved promptly. New people are often left confused what to do / where to go. You have to do a lot of advocating for yourself to get things. Groups are great and so are the therapists. Food is decent. Beds are decent but bring your own pillow because the pillows are made of uncomfortable plastic. Bring a watch or alarm clock also for waking up on time in the morning as they are not provided for free and phones are not allowed. I would recommend this place to someone needing treatment for a substance abuse disorder or any mental health problems, but I would also give fair warning to how you would have to advocate for yourself and be patient with the lack of staff. The therapists there are good and they are helpful. On a staff level, they care about you and are doing the best they can with what they can do, but on a corporate level the company is hesitant and stingy about improving quality of life for patients and investing in more activities for patients to enjoy and pass the time with. This place has helped me a lot though and I don't regret have going.

Casa Palmera helped save my life. The staff here truly cares about your well being and wants you to succeed. The sense of community among patients is really awesome too. I made lifelong friends in there. I just celebrated 6 months sober and that s thanks to the help of this place. The alumni events after leaving casa make a huge difference, the alumni meeting, volleyball, pickleball, etc. I am very grateful I came here.

AJ, we love that you continue to take advantage of all the support available to you! Thank you for sharing your experience here so others that they, too, can have the life they deserve.

This place saved my life literally. After some major life events that occurred over the course of my life time & trauma that was left unprocessed over years, I finally sought help. I started with therapy, tried both inpatient at behavioral hospitals & outpatient programs too. This was my first ever residential treatment when I admit myself around 2022. I can t say everything I want to say in a review but Casa & the staff exceeded all expectations. Therapists were amazing & my favorite one of all time was Sana. She s a straight shooter & tells you what you need to hear.To all the negative reviews complaining about not being able to leave, drinking soda, not using your phone, 2 computers & everything else that s artificial.. this place is not for you. It s for people who are dealing with life or death situations who are actually fighting for their lives & WANT to get better. If all you have to complain about is the fact that you can t eat McDonalds while in rehab, then you don t belong here. Try going to an inpatient psych ward & you ll really have something to complain about when they check your room every hour.Seriously though, it s not that bad. This place is not meant to be a vacation it s hard work but they give you so many tools & extras to make it more comfortable. They do give you soda occasionally on the weekend when they have patient picked activities to do. You do have access to your phone in case of emergency which you have to request. You can shave but only with an electric razor because there s people in here dealing with suicide ideation. They discourage coupling because it interferes with your own treatment. You CAN T leave as you please because you re dealing with mentally ill patients & addicts so patients will try to leave every chance they get. Every rule/precaution is in place for a reason. Duh.For the record I came here strictly for mental health & I got out of it what I put into it.

Hi Linda - Thank you for sharing this! We are passionate about saving lives and all that we do at Casa is done with that in mind. Congratulations on doing the hard work while you were with us. We wish you all the best and continued growth!
