We offer non 12 step rehab in San Diego and La Jolla, which includes drug and alcohol outpatient addiction treatment, 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.
