About UPAC New Leaf Recovery Center

The Union of Pan Asian Communities (UPAC) is a health and human service agency dedicated to improving the overall well-being of San Diego, California’s underserved and vulnerable communities. They primarily offer substance use treatment and mental health care alongside services that support community engagement and business development. Clients can also receive medication assisted treatment here.

They primarily target Asian and Pacific Islander (API) adults and transition-age youths (TAY) alongside refugees and immigrants who reside in San Diego County of California. They also extend support to individuals involved in the criminal justice system. Support is available for both Medi-Cal and uninsured individuals to streamline accessibility.

Minimizing Withdrawal Symptoms Through Medication

Individualized support may integrate medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to ease withdrawal symptoms and minimize relapse risk for clients navigating opioid use issues. As patients are taking medication, they will participate in counseling to uncover the causes of their addiction, and learn healthy coping mechanisms.

Tailored Care For Transition Age Youth

The organization’s Expanding Horizons program is San Diego County’s first outpatient substance use recovery initiative tailored to meet the recovery needs of transition-age youth (TAY). This includes individuals between the ages of 18 and 25. Adults between the ages of 26 and 29 may also be supported through the program.

The program helps members of the TAY community reclaim stability and purpose through personalized weekly therapeutic support that’s culturally responsive, gender specific and age appropriate. Family involvement is encouraged through supportive counseling and opportunities for open communication that strengthen trust and healing. Additional services incorporated in the program are peer support, weekly artistic expression groups, and monthly prosocial activities that foster connection and build confidence.
