The Grounds Recovery The Grounds is a transitional living program for young adult men ready to create a sober life.

The Grounds Recovery:San Diego CA
The Grounds is a mentorship program designed to inspire & facilitate young adults into a healthy way of living. We are a highly structured, small intimate program for young men 18-30. We are a 6 month program with our Primary House 1(3 months) and our step down House 2(3 months). The Grounds offers: full clinical services including equine therapy, group therapy, individual therapy, case management, supervised living, life skills education, vocational experience, recreation and outdoor activities, recovery coaching including 12-Step immersion and transition planning. Our smaller size allows us to provide individualized attention and build meaningful relationships as the clients build their new lives. We are known for launching guys back to healthy independent living while focusing on their recovery and clinical programing and taking advantage of all the outdoor activities San Diego provides (surfing, hiking, physical fitness, recovery community, employment) We are great fit for young men coming out of Wilderness Therapy or Primary Treatment

At the heart of the space is our Kiva fire pit, a special place designed to foster connection, reflection, and fellowship. A space where our members can slow down, come together, and build community. 🀍

"The way to live is to embrace each moment as an opportunity to begin again.” ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn

Quotes like these remind us of the importance of mindfulness and being present in each moment.🌳✨Here you can see a few of our members doing just that at the gorgeous Kate Sessions Park.

This week, Grounds staff had the opportunity to learn from one of our longtime group facilitators, Mike Giancola, MA, MS, LMFT! ✨

Mike has been working with The Grounds for nearly 10 years, leading our weekly Men’s Healthy Relationships group. Through evidence-based curriculum and thoughtful discussion, Mike encourages our young men to explore sexual health, relationships, and how these important areas connect to their recovery journey.

This group is consistently a favorite among our members, so we’re grateful to experience a little piece of it ourselves! πŸ’™
