McAlister Institute – Adolescent Residential

McAlister Institute – Adolescent Residential is located in Oceanside, California, and provides care for young people facing substance use challenges. The program offers several levels of care, including inpatient treatment, medically assisted detox, intervention services, and a 12-Step approach. These levels are designed to meet different stages of recovery, from the initial period of withdrawal management through ongoing structured support in a residential setting.

The clinical services available include cognitive behavioral therapy, individual therapy, and group therapy. In general terms, cognitive behavioral therapy helps people recognize and change patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to substance use, while individual and group therapy offer personal and peer-based support. The facility treats alcoholism, drug addiction, opioid addiction, and substance abuse, and it includes a Young Adult Program. Medically assisted detox typically involves medical oversight during withdrawal, and 12-Step participation generally provides a peer support framework for ongoing recovery.

Insurance and payment options listed include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, and UnitedHealth Group. Because coverage and program details can vary, families are encouraged to confirm what is available for their specific situation.
