About Able to Change Recovery

Able to Change Recovery is a drug rehab center that helps teens and adults in the San Juan Capistrano, California, area. They treat those struggling with alcoholism, drug abuse, and dual-diagnosis conditions. Their center offers drug detox, inpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP) intensive outpatient (IOP) and general outpatient (OP) programs.

Their drug detox program helps individuals detox in a safe manner under the supervision of medical professionals who are qualified to administer medication to manage withdrawal symptoms.

The inpatient program allows the individual to reside at the facility while undergoing therapy. This permits the person to have no distractions while focusing on recovery. The program may last between one and six months.

Partial hospitalization allows the individual to be treated in a hospital setting while still returning home after sessions. This program typically requires that the individual have about six hours of therapy, at least three times a week.

Intensive outpatient care focuses on those with severe addictions who still need to return home or to work after sessions are complete. This clinic follows the practices of the 12 Step Program.

Their outpatient program is the lowest level of care provided for less severe cases of addiction. They provide individual therapy, family counseling and group therapy.

Able to Change Recovery may be able to work with major insurance providers, such as Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, United Healthcare and others. Contact your provider to verify coverage because out of network benefits can vary.

Rehab facility that sees patients as a cash cow to erroneously bill insurance for services they don t really provide.Treatment modalities are ineffective. Counselors are inexperienced with treating patients from diverse backgrounds.My therapist said that the most effective treatment was ABA. And when I shared my experience with that treatment, invalidated my experience saying that it had helped other clients with my diagnosis.Therapists running group therapy areIll equipped to handle patients who interrupt, talk over and invalidate other group members. They allow certain group members to do as they please while punishing those who speak out against it. I was called ableist slurs in group and when I got upset said that they would deal with the situation but they allowed it.The staff that runs the sober living houses are unprofessional and had disparaging remarks for their fellow employees. The sober living staff at my location had visible tattoos associated with White Supremacy.I had two packages go missing and when I showed proof of delivery, they claimed it never arrived.If you want a chaotic living experience coupled with not enough time to process daily group work, this is the correct location. This place requires you to pay for your own food and won t accommodate transportation to get groceries unless a minimum threshold of clients have the same need.Personal beliefs outside of Christianity are not respected. Solely focused on throughput rather than quality of care.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Able 2 Change for their exceptional support in assisting those battling addiction and mental health challenges. I recently had the privilege of collaborating with them to guide a family member toward treatment. The admission process was both thorough and efficient. The clinical team established a meaningful connection, significantly impacting my cousin's recovery journey. Additionally, the family program provided invaluable education for our family. The alumni support has helped my cousin feel embraced while reintegrating into the community.

Accepted Insurance

Able to Change Recovery works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

The therapists are excellent and I’m grateful for the work they did with me. Disruptive clients are tolerated at the expense of people who want to get better. Don’t reach out to them if you need anything after treatment, even if it’s a small amount of support. They’re done with you and moving to the next person at that point.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly grateful to hear that you had a positive experience with our therapists and that their work was meaningful to you — that means a great deal to us.<br><br>We also want to sincerely acknowledge your concerns. We're sorry to hear that you felt unsupported after treatment. It’s never our intention for anyone to feel overlooked or discouraged, especially during such a vulnerable and important time in their recovery journey.<br><br>Your feedback is important, and we’ll be taking it to heart as we continue to improve the way we support both our current and alumni clients. <br>Wishing you continued strength and healing on your path forward.

I'm Brian L. I was referred here by a friend about two months ago. I want to say that everyone that works here and the owners are absolutely awesome. The groups are engaging, the case managers really care and do the most for their clients, the therapist is so nice, and the house managers are easy going and understanding. The houses are nice and clean in very nice areas. Over all I had a great experience here and also made a few friends from the other clients that have come through here. If you actually want to change and learn helpful coping skills this is the place to do it..Thank you Able To Change.
