Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program

Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program

House of Metamorphosis (HOM) is a residential drug and alcohol treatment program in San Diego, California. Our treatment provides behavior modifications for men and women in a therapeutic community setting. HOM was established to be a guiding light to its residents, to show how it is possible to live “drug-free” in society and how to cope with everyday problems.

Metamorphosis, which means transformation in appearance, character, condition, or function, is the purpose and goal of our rehabilitation program.

Residential treatment programs like ours remove negative influences and help you to adjust to living a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle and develop necessary skills to sustain your recovery. The longer negative influences are removed from your environment, including the availability of drugs and alcohol, and the more time you have to learn and adjust, the higher the probability of your success.
