How we help
Residential at Garden Grove — referral from San Diego
No residential beds in La Jolla or anywhere in San Diego County at Northbound.
Residential addiction treatment provides round-the-clock structure, therapy, and medical support when outpatient care is not enough — or when home environments are not safe for early recovery. Northbound's only residential campus is 9842 13th St, Garden Grove, CA 92844 — known as The Grove.
Clients in San Diego, CA who need this level of care travel to Garden Grove with support from admissions: benefits verification, flight planning, and family communication. More than half of Northbound clients historically come from outside Orange County — you will not be the only family making this trip.
Residential programming includes individual and group therapy, family services, InVivo® real-world skills, experiential therapies, and dual-diagnosis treatment. After residential, many San Diego clients step down to PHP in Newport Beach or return home with HomeBound virtual IOP.
Northbound does not operate residential beds in San Diego. If a program claims to offer Northbound residential locally, verify the address — all on-site beds are at 9842 13th St.
We are DHCS licensed #300661CP, Joint Commission accredited, and in-network with 15+ major insurance plans. Call (866) 311-0003 — admissions is available 24/7 for San Diego families.

Local context
When San Diego needs more than outpatient
Pacific Beach, North Park, and Escondido families may prefer one trusted OC campus over unfamiliar local options without IMS detox pathways.
Collegebound® supports SDSU and UCSD-area young adults who can pause on-campus life for residential at The Grove.
Step-down often means Newport PHP then HomeBound while living back in San Diego.
San Diego families often ask how Northbound differs from other providers — we concentrate on-site detox and residential at one Garden Grove campus, PHP at Newport Beach, and virtual IOP statewide rather than spreading thin across many small sites.
Areas we serve
