Amal Recovery Center provides compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals navigating substance use and co-occurring disorders — right here in San Diego.
We meet you wherever you are on your journey, with levels of care that grow with your needs.
Intensive, structured programming five days per week — a powerful bridge between residential and outpatient care, offering comprehensive clinical support during the day.
Three days per week of meaningful therapeutic support with both morning and evening track options — designed to fit around the rest of your life, whatever that looks like.
Private therapy sessions with licensed clinicians — the focused, confidential space to explore underlying patterns, trauma, and goals, tailored entirely to your unique story and pace.
We draw from the strongest evidence base in addiction medicine while honoring the full humanity — cultural, spiritual, and personal — of every individual we serve.
Every aspect of care is grounded in awareness of trauma's role in healing and recovery.
We integrate culturally responsive, liberation-focused frameworks that honor each client's identity and background.
Harm reduction and abstinence-based pathways — because recovery looks different for everyone.

The word "Amal" means hope in Arabic. And at the center of our approach is a simple, powerful truth.
The opposite of addiction is not sobriety.— Johann Hari
It is connection.
This belief is at the heart of everything we do at Amal. Recovery is not achieved in isolation — it is built in relationship, in community, in being truly seen and known by others. Our programs are designed to foster the deep human connection that makes lasting healing — and lasting hope — possible.
