Founded in 2017 by Tommy Hathorn, Boardwalk Recovery Center at 1940 Garnet Ave, Suite 120, in Pacific Beach, 92109, operates as a dual-diagnosis addiction treatment center where much of the clinical staff has personal experience with recovery. The center holds Joint Commission accreditation and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, with Clinical Director Anna Lyons and Director of Operations JJ Wood rounding out the leadership team. Boardwalk's intensive outpatient program pairs evidence-based psychotherapy — including CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and EMDR — with experiential therapies that take full advantage of the Pacific Beach setting. The fitness component extends to a complimentary gym membership, and those looking for structured group classes can drop into CorePower Yoga - Pacific Beach for heated yoga sessions nearby on Garnet Ave. Clients participate in outdoor group therapy rooted in ecopsychology, plus surfing, hiking, MMA training, breathwork, and sound healing sessions. Boardwalk serves adults dealing with substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health conditions including mood disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, and trauma-related conditions. The program also provides career coaching, resume building, and interview preparation to help clients reenter the workforce. Clients building an active sober lifestyle often train at San Diego Fit, a local gym that supports Boardwalk's emphasis on physical wellness as a pillar of long-term recovery. Employing roughly 20 staff members, the center offers Spanish-language assistance and maintains an LGBTQ+-friendly, transgender-safe environment with free street parking.
