San Diego Short Term, Comprehensive Mental Health Treatment Part of
Helix, The Upward Spiral. The spiral shape of the Helix is one of the oldest spiritual symbols known to man. The Helix reflects the universal pattern of growth, evolution and life force energy. Reflected in the natural world, the Helix is found in our physiology, plants, minerals, animals, and weather; it is a sacred symbol that reminds us of our evolving journey in life. As our model and guide, the spiraled shape of the Helix aids us in accepting the turnings and changes of life. Our mission at Helix Healing & Recovery is to provide adults with mental health issues a nurturing environment where they can heal, rehabilitate, and cultivate personal resilience. We provide a safe space for self-discovery, personal growth, and a foundation upon which to live purposefully and with meaning. I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach and not, when I came to die discover that I had not lived. Henry David Thoreau
Making the Choice. Choosing growth over the familiar requires courage. Making the choice to heal is the first step; however, committing to the journey of recovery to living a purposeful life with joy and meaning is far more difficult. We share a deep appreciation for this journey and are committed to supporting individuals by cultivating personal resilience, providing accountability and teaching you the skills you need to thrive. Helix Healing & Recovery is part of the Hanbleceya Recovery Network, which has been supporting adults with mental illness to lead productive lives since 1979. In addition to Hanbleceya s established success treating mental illness, the serene 6-bedroom residence at Helix Healing & Recovery provides a sense of safety and comfort on two secluded acres in an upscale San Diego neighborhood. In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety. Abraham Maslow
