Practical Recovery Psychology Group

We offer non 12 step rehab in San Diego, which includes drug and alcohol outpatient addiction treatment, sober living, and an innovative alternative to inpatient rehab.

Do you see yourself as powerless? Almost all US addiction treatment is based on the idea that you are powerless over addictive behavior. Once you accept that idea, you follow the same 12-step path everyone else follows. It works for some, but Practical Recovery offers an alternative: a self-empowering, truly personalized approach. In fact, Practical Recovery, established in 1985, is at the forefront of developing and implementing the self-empowering approach.

Dr. Horvath, the founder and owner, is a founder and the long-standing president of SMART Recovery (a free mutual help group). If you have not heard of SMART Recovery, there is an entire world of self-empowering recovery you need to learn about! San Diego is a major center for SMART Recovery with over 30 meetings each week.

If you attend treatment at Practical Recovery, you have the option of working directly with Dr. Horvath (please note: Dr. Horvath will be away the weeks of August 8 and September 12, therefore no sessions with him those weeks).

At Practical Recovery we treat all addictions (alcohol, drugs and behavioral). We focus on the levels of care (outpatient–including our innovative alternative to inpatient rehab, and optional sober living) where the majority of your recovery effort is needed.

Using evidence-based methods and optional holistic healing services, we collaborate with you to create truly personalized treatment plans, with an emphasis on underlying problems, motivation, coping with cravings, relationships, lifestyle balance, and living with purpose and meaning.

Because it is easy to copy terms like 'self-empowering, personalized and non 12 step rehab� into marketing language, many facilities say they operate according to these ideas. But in fact they do not. We regularly get clients who transfer to us after starting somewhere else, having discovered that there is much more to 'self-empowering, personalized and non 12 step� than words on a website. If you want a self-empowering approach, come to a true leader of non 12 step rehab.

Self-empowering, non 12 step addiction treatment, such as that provided by Practical Recovery, blends individual psychotherapy, evidence-based treatments, holistic care, and optional recovery groups to help you take the next step towards an addiction-free and fulfilling life.

In a non 12 step, self-empowering addiction recovery program, one of the main focuses of the treatment process is to help you resolve underlying issues and related problems. We find that simultaneously dealing with these underlying issues and addiction problems allows people to achieve more in recovery than working on addiction problems alone.

Since the focus of non 12 step rehab is on individual sessions, groups are not required, nor are they absolutely necessary in achieving a successful, long-lasting recovery from addiction. While we recognize that for many people groups are helpful, most individuals recover from addictions without attending support groups.

While 12 step programs focus on finding serenity and acceptance, non-12-step self-empowering treatment focuses on courage and taking action.

People likely to benefit from non 12 step addiction treatment have what is called an 'internal locus of control� and believe that their life is a direct result of what actions they take as opposed to what happens to them. A non-12-step, self-empowering program gives people the opportunity to take the bull by the horns and actively start creating positive change in their life.

What truly motivates you? Whether in residential rehab, sober living, or outpatient, we help you answer that question. You have motivations that are more powerful than addiction. Finding and acting on these motivations is essential for lasting change. The changes you make will be based on your values, beliefs, goals and situation, and not on ideas we impose upon you.

Our non 12 step approach to addiction treatment affords you the right to view drug, alcohol or behavioral addiction as you see it. Is addiction an incurable disease, a complex, maladaptive behavior, or something else? In our collaborative approach to drug and alcohol treatment, we work with your understanding. Fortunately, our methods apply regardless of your views on this issue.

We can offer truly personalized, collaborative care because most of our providers have doctoral degrees and know how to address the whole person. We do not push you into a one-size-fits-all approach. Our core service is individual sessions and our core expertise is helping you find your path to change. We know there are as many paths to recovery as there are individuals. We aim to help you have the 'aha� moments that place the past in perspective and allow for a satisfying life moving forward.

You can fully recover from drugs, alcohol and/or behavioral addictions. At Practical Recovery we offer the tools, skills, and specialized services to help you move on in life without substances or behaviors that hold you back. In many cases the addiction recovery process will not be easy or fast. But it will definitely be worth it! Become recovered, rather than spending the rest of your life 'in recovery.�

At Practical Recovery, you get to define your journey, instead of following a preset plan or vision of success. Whether you choose moderation or complete abstinence from drugs, alcohol or certain behaviors, we’ll help you get there.

The potential to change lies within you. Our approach to non 12 step rehab empowers you to recognize your worth, value and capability to create lifelong change. Rediscover your internal strength, build your confidence and take control of your life. If you believe that you can create a solution for your addiction and other problems by strengthening your own resources, rather than relying primarily on outside resources, we can help!

Imagine what you can achieve when you are happy, healthy and connected to others! We'll help you experience the brightest and most fulfilling future you can imagine. Calling us is a first step toward moving forward with a positive, life-changing solution.
