The National Institute of Mental Health reports that one in four American adults has a mental health condition. Most, if not all, can be managed through an integrative and holistic combination of lifestyle modifications, medication and other healing modalities.

 

“So many people are suffering from poor concentration, debilitating anxiety, an inability to sleep or eat normally and generally aren’t functioning to their capacity,” said Roybal. “We focus on helping them get back to their true self in the most effective way possible through the right combination of acupuncture, yoga, nutrition services, psychiatric care, medication or any of our other integrative services. In addition to our unique approach, our intensive outpatient therapy is the only one in San Diego with medical doctors highly involved in treatment of patients.”

 

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a complete addiction treatment and recovery plan that offers the independence and flexibility needed in the real world, as well as the framework and accountability to ensure clients’ success. Research has shown that intensive outpatient care has resulted in lasting sobriety levels equal to that of residential addiction treatment. For those seeking help, True Life’s IOP provides premium patient care in the first and only integrative mental wellness center in San Diego County and beyond.

 

True Life offers monthly seminars where doctors provide information and answer questions to assist families in helping their loved ones get help for their mental health or substance use issue.  The next seminar is planned for May 17th at True Life Center in La Jolla. True Life also provides an online assessment to help those who are concerned they might have an addiction determine whether they should seek treatment.
