Lasting Recovery Substance Abuse Treatment Program Review

Much appreciation to Lasting recovery outpatient drug and alcohol treatment center in San Diego for the help they gave my wife and our family. My wife couldn't stop drinking and we didn't know what to do. You gave my girls their Mom back! Thank you!!!

For me....Lasting Recovery was a lifesaver. I couldn't have gotten sober w/o them. If you need an outpatient drug program in San Diego, this is DEFINITELY the one I would recommend.

Judy Saalinger is an extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and effective mental health clinician with years of experience. Her expertise and understanding of substance abuse assessment and treatment is highly regarded in the recovery community. The patients I have referred to Lasting Recovery have benefitted greatly from the education, groups and aftercare programs. I continue to refer patients to Lasting Recovery for very competent care.

I needed help for my pain pill addiction, but I have a daughter. I needed an outpatient drug rehab program in San Diego, not an inpatient facility across the country. Lasting Recovery was there for me--I was able to regain control, keep my job, and be at home with my daughter every night. Thank you to Judy and the rest of the staff at Lasting Recovery!

Lasting Recovery is not only a wonderful treatment center for alcohol and drug addiction, it is effective - worked for me. I enrolled in the partial hospitalization program which provided me with real life experiences and the staff was gifted in their treatment. I've been sober for 1 year now - the first time in 7 years and my wife is happy with my sobriety.

I came here spiritually bankrupt and the therapists, doctors and staff here restored me back to sanity!
In February I will be celebrating two years clean and sober! Thank you LR

I recently graduated from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) programs at Lasting Recovery.

I reached out to Lasting Recovery due to extreme work related issues and the impact they were having on my PTSD and I am so happy that I did. What I experienced and needed help for was essentially for trauma. I was hesitant at first, given the programs focus is on addiction, but after discussing my concerns with them, I decided that the offerings and flexibility of the program might work for me and I gave it a shot.

As I progressed in the program, I discovered that if I was open minded, it could really help me. I was in severe distress when I reached out for help. I was in a personal space where I was extremely depressed, frustrated, angry, confused, and most of all, that I didn t have a voice and needed to get it back. Dr. Judy Saalinger (Judy) and her team created a curriculum that would work for me and listened to my feedback.

Today, I am so proud of myself for taking the necessary steps to care for myself. By completing my programs at Lasting Recovery, with the help of Judy her team, I truly I do not recognize the person I was when I entered the program. I have learned so much about myself and practice the skills I gained from the program now in my daily life almost down to how I live every moment. By doing so, I am so happy to say that today I have rediscovered my true happiness, I am more confident, I truly live my life in a forward looking fashion and value every moment. I have gained the skills that have elevated my level of awareness of my own actions and how they may impact others and how to manage them, I learned about emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, and in my daily practice, I can confidently say I have found my voice.

Thank you, Judy and team. You guys have helped me rediscover my true self and I m so happy my higher powers led me to you. I couldn t be more thankful. You all help me truly change my life by teaching me the essential skills to navigate through life one moment at a time. I highly recommend Judy as an extremely experienced therapist and her team. They are all here to help.

Excellent experience and I will be eternally grateful to Judy & Arthur & the entire staff who saw me through my journey to LASTING recovery. I was 54 when I started & had just about given up on achieving sobriety for more than a few days...now nearly 8 years of continuous & solid sobriety later, I remain in contact with Lasting Recovery--they offer support & outreach to everyone, unlike any other treatment center! They're the only ones in San Diego to offer a wide variety of options for meetings beyond the 12-step model of AA (which just didn't fit me--and they honored that!), including weekly (or more) meetings of Refuge Recovery, LifeRing Secular Recovery, Women for Sobriety--for anyone in the community! along with alumni groups for graduates. PLEASE reach out to them...it's never too late to get your sober self back...or maybe meet him/her for the first time. You deserve a clean & sober Life, not the hellish existence of addiction.

In 2018 I wanted to make some life changes.

BIG CHANGES!!!

I knew that I needed a team of extraordinary individuals to help guide me along the way.

When I entered the program doors for my meeting with JUDY I immediately felt the warmth from her knowledge and experience.. I finally felt safe talking about my goals and my needs with regards to getting sober.

Since that day my life has completely changed... I went from someone who smoked cannabis every single day and abused alcohol anytime I drank to someone who is completely sober.....

I had a complete mind shift from the beginning because I focused on staying true to myself and the plan they gave me..

I surrendered to my flaws and weaknesses and began to build on my strengths..

I'm almost 200 days sober and my marriage and business is better than ever before..

I went from a stoner making song videos for business owners in the corner of my bedroom to opening a half million dollar production facility and marketing firm.

Lasting Recovery saved my life... Don't wait and don't hesitate..

If you are reading this then it's not too late TO CHANGE!!!

MAKE THE CALL NOW!!! YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID!!!!
