Operating as a nonprofit since 1976, Stepping Stone of San Diego - Stepping Out runs its transitional outpatient program from 3928 Illinois St in North Park's 92104 ZIP code. Families navigating a member's recovery can access parallel support through North Park Family Counseling Center for concurrent counseling during the treatment timeline. The Stepping Out program serves as a step-down track from Stepping Stone's residential phase, delivering evidence-based modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational enhancement therapy, and the Seeking Safety trauma-informed curriculum. Patients transitioning from inpatient stays at Kindred Hospital San Diego can enter Stepping Out when residential placement is unnecessary but structured outpatient care remains critical. The program's most intensive track combines co-occurring substance use and mental health disorder treatment with LGBTQ+-affirming individual, group, and couples counseling across a six-month recovery arc.
