12-step not for you? Try Practical Recovery, in beautiful La Jolla (San Diego), California. 

You don't need to go to meetings the rest of your life. Addiction is a problem to be resolved, not a disease you can't get rid of. Our health-oriented approach to addiction recovery is one-on-one, self-empowering and flexible. The highly-trained, professional staff at Practical Recovery provides a diverse range of offerings so that we can cater to your needs and your schedule.
  • Self-empowering 6-point approach: coping with craving, maintaining motivation, identifying and resolving problem areas, relationship enhancement, lifestyle balance, and connecting with your own deeper purposes.
  • Unlimited one-on-one sessions: medical, nutritional, psychological,
    holistic, all designed individually for you. Why spend your time in groups, talking about other people's problems, when you are here to deal with your
    own? Groups are available, but not required.
  • Access to more doctoral-level providers than at any other facility. There is no finer professional staff, or more diverse range of services, in the industry. This means you'll have the most "aha" moments, the fastest progress, and the most significant change.
  • Flexible scheduling and a wide range of accommodations (including single rooms) depending on your therapeutic needs and personal preferences. We offer all levels of care including detoxification, residential, residential alternative, outpatient (for our local clients), sober living, phone coaching and assessments. For those desiring a 28 day program fees typically range from $15,000 to $38,000.
  • Dual diagnosis is finally being recognized. No one has just one problem! We have always addressed eating disorders, anxiety and trauma, depression and mood swings, attention and concentration problems (ADHD), and any other emotional or behavioral issues of concern to you.
Practical Recovery was founded in 1985 by Dr. Tom Horvath. He is author of Sex, Drugs, Gambling & Chocolate: A Workbook for Overcoming Addictions, president since 1995 of SMART Recovery (smartrecovery.org) and a past president of the American Psychological Association's Division on Addictions, the world's largest organization of addiction psychologists.

Because what we offer is so different than traditional addiction treatment, we recommend that you call us at 858.453.4777 to discuss your unique situation. Be prepared to think about addiction treatment in radically new ways!
