Men's Rehab Program at Balboa Horizons

Balboa Horizons is private, confidential, friendly and professional program comprised of comfortable residential homes and the Center.  The Center is the hub of Balboa Horizons, where counseling, academic and career planning, meetings, and social time occur.  Clients benefit from each other’s experiences and the support that comes from a group therapeutic setting.

Our program is structured from a daily schedule perspective — not a lot of down time to just hang out.  However, daily fitness and recreational events are always built in.  Studies show that participating in long groups for most of the day during early recovery is not effective.  Information is simply not retained.  Balance in life is the objective; therefore our program teaches and implements this philosophy. The men that participate in our program are good people who have been off track for some time.  The goal is to re-introduce them to a core set of values many were raised with, while helping them accept who they are now and encourage success for the future.

Top Opiate Addiction Treatment & Detox

Opiate and opioid drugs are intensely addictive, highly dangerous and can be potentially fatal. The opioid family includes the naturally occurring opiates morphine and codeine, as well as their synthetic and semi-synthetic derivatives.

These include heroin, methadone and a variety of prescription pain medications.
Balboa Horizons’ clinical team is highly trained to deal with the challenges involved with opioid addiction and treatment. A controlled and medically supervised detoxification will be necessary and the intensity of withdrawal will depend on the duration and amount of opioid use. However, detoxification is not a complete solution. Most addicts will eventually resume using opioids unless they receive further help.

Balboa Horizons CEO is Proud to Open New Addiction Recovery Programs Specifically for Men

Paul Moen eagerly prepares for the
August opening of Balboa Horizons for Men.

Newport Beach, CA- Since taking the reigns at Balboa Horizons for Women in 2008, Paul Moen has believed that his premiere treatment center should extend its services to provide gender-specific care to both women and men. His dream is finally becoming a reality with the August opening of Balboa Horizons for Men.  

Based on the success of the small, gender-specific women's programs, Moen plans to keep the new programs small and gender-specific as well.  "This expansion is not about getting bigger, it's simply about making sure that our quality addiction treatment is available to everyone," he explains.  And Moen is taking extreme care to ensure that the programs are indeed exceptional, immersing himself in every detail from daily scheduling to facility decor.  He has assembled what he refers to as "the A-Team" of treatment professionals, support staff and therapists to run the programs, making time to interview each candidate personally. 

The new men's programs incorporate a variety of therapeutic modalities, a core 12-step approach and elements proven important to clients and their families, including:

• Quality clinical services
• Experienced multidisciplinary staff
• Comprehensive continuum of care
• Family involvement in treatment
• Recovery support and relapse prevention

               

Balboa Horizons is not your average treatment center, largely because Paul Moen is not your average CEO.  A 20-year veteran of the recovery community, Moen incorporates the principles of his personal recovery into his professional role.  He values integrity, earning a reputation among his peers as an honest and reliable treatment professional.  Never content to stay behind the scenes, Moen remains involved in every aspect of treatment at Balboa Horizons, working hands-on to ensure that his company delivers a product he believes in.
   

Moen explains what drives him to strive for perfection at Balboa Horizons, saying, "None of this is about me or my ambition, it is about my responsibility to the individuals who have come to me for help.  For some, this may be their only chance.  I work hard to make Balboa Horizons a program that I am proud to put my name on, not at all because my reputation is on the line, but because their lives are on the line."  To learn more about Balboa Horizons' new programs for men, please call 866-316-4012 or visit balboahorizons.com.

Balboa Horizons New Site for CEU's

 Jean M. Campbell, LCSW, CET III, TEP Balboa Horizons was proud to host an Intermediate Psychodramatic Bodywork Workshop for Mental Health Professionals facilitated by Jean Campbell, LCSW, CET III, TEP over the weekend.  Balboa Horizons' new outpatient facility in Costa Mesa was the perfect environment for the amazing work that transpired with the help of Jean Campbell and her talented assistants.   The Intermediate Psychodramatic Bodywork workshop combines two forms of psychotherapy: bodywork and psychodrama. The bodywork involves safe touch to help individuals connect with the messages that are held in the body as pain, numbness and/or illness. In psychodrama, blocked spontaneity from earlier traumas is unblocked and re-integrated through dramatic action methods.  Balboa Horizons will be home to several more training's by Jean Campbell throughout 2012 and 2013.  If you would like more information about these training's and corresponding dates please contact us!
