About By The Sea Recovery

By The Sea Recovery is a long term sober living home for adult men in Carlsbad, California. They’ve created a safe, clean, high-end environment that promotes healing and restoration. While living here, you can be part of their intensive and regular outpatient addiction programs.

Sober Living in Sunny Carlsbad

I noticed that they’ve created a fun, supportive structure that promotes a peaceful living environment that prepares you to reintegrate back into society. You’ll find a culture of respect among the men that brings out the best in you. The support and mentoring you’ll experience creates camaraderie and genuine friendships.

What makes their sober living home different is they recommend a 60 to 90 day minimum stay. Over the years, they’ve seen that long stays increase the sense of stability and lift the morale in the home. You’ll know what it means to belong, and you’ll learn to trust others again. A long stay gives you time to solidify your identity as someone who is stable and trustworthy.

By the Sea Recovery has been there as a rock solid foundation a handful of times over the past 5 years. I couldn t have asked for a more stable , clean , and healthy environment to be a part of and walk along side during those early days in sobriety. Mark and Amy , the owners, are genuine and caring people who have proved time and time again they want nothing best for clients that come across their path. Nick, their director of operations, is a solid guy who comes around the house weekly to check in and maintain contact with the guys; he is very sincere and a pillar in their community. Would highly recommend this sober living as well as their detox/residential facility.Jake Brown

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Outpatient

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.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

12-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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

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.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

The staff here are great, and have actually been in the shoes of the people they help. The rehab is very thorough and they put a lot of effort into helping clients find themselves again. The IOP they own also helped me a lot and was great because of the social aspect of it and the facilitators. The sober living itself was great, I had some troubles with people stealing my food, which were eventually kicked out.

I am the mother of a 32 year old man who has realized great success with his sobriety , living in a By The Sea Recovery house. The support system there has been remarkable. We are so grateful that our son knows he's not unique to this disease. And we know that upon his re-entry in to his community at large he'll have tools learned at By The Sea that are lasting. We are grateful beyond words for the support he has received while @ By The Sea. The management is outstanding. I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful agency. Thank you By The Sea.

Hello Ms. Ellen, thank you for your kind words. Your family holds a special connection to our community, and I am honored and humbled to stand next to him. This last 18mo have challenged the best of us in recovery and we pass our experience, strength and hope to all that CHOOSE to engage our community. He is a special man and I wish him each day the best in his recovery efforts.

My personal experience dealing with Marc Gladden owner of “By the Sea Recovery” has been an absolute nightmare and left my life in complete chaos. In early May 2021, I first contacted Mark directly about moving into his Sober living home and attending the IOP (Intensive Out Patient) treatment classes that his facility offered. At that time, I had about 2 weeks left at “Cliffside” a well managed program in Malibu Ca.The most important factor in the move was making sure that I secured a Sober spot for myself and my service animal “Bear”. I began searching for living arrangements early, to ensure that I had no last minute mixups or anything falling through. I clarified with Mark that myself and my Service animal were approved and he went as far as to tell me that he even had a bed with my name on it. He said that As long as there were no problems with myself or the animal and as long as I treated the situation responsibly, I was cleared to move in. Yet Mark Gladden backpedaled on every promise that he made. The first day I moved in, I introduced my Service Animal to her pet golden retriever and he became aggressive and began growling at My dog Bear who remained calm. The house managers response was coldhearted and unreasonable to say the least and she insisted I left my dog in the car overnight. This violates my legal right of having my service animal Inhabit anywhere I live or travel. This contradicted every agreement He had made with me. I figured everything would be cleared up in the morning so I Venmo’d Mark $1000 which was 2/3’s of the monthly rent.. I spent two nights sleeping at the sober living facility while attending five hours of classes during the daytime. Classes that were in no way suitable for the level of treatment cost that Mark and Recovery by the Sea had advertised (and charged for). As opposed to having a large group setting with the bonding social interaction of a group dynamic which is what is to be expected, it was just myself, doing an hour zoom meeting with a psychiatrist staring at me through a computer screen while somewhere in the Midwest, which was uncomfortable non-professional and far from personable. Followed by four- hour long sessions back-to-back with only myself and the office facilitator. No camaraderie or support of a group setting, Just myself and the office girl who administered my evaluation and treatment plan although she self-admittedly let me know that she was not qualified to do a psychiatric evaluation. With the large amounts of money that my insurance company paid for my treatment, the nickel and dime operation that Mark was able to Mickey-Mouse together and just barely scrape by the minimum legal requirements yet rake in the same pay day. I tried keeping calm and passive about everything that I had seen, not to mention my money had already being paid to Mark. Yet On the morning of my third day on my way to classes I received a text message saying that I would be allowed to stay but Bear would not!? So because leaving my $6000 Service dog was obviously not an option I was literally left uprooted and scrambling without a place to live. All of my belongings, truck, toy Hauler and my dog were tossed out and Mark had just Taken the only money that I had at the time.. Mark told me that he would refund my money which was the least he could do for putting me in such a difficult predicament. But soon learned the Despicable depth of Marks selfishness and greed.. When I received my refund check from Mark he only returned $500 of the thousand dollars that was given to him only 2 1/2 days before! I was in disbelief! I would’ve even understood a prorated rent for the two nights I was there but it is only his selfish corruption that could somehow justify keeping $500 of mine, knowing my life was already shaken by his instability. Seven years ago Mark Gladden was a scumbag drug addict low-life. No he’s a scumbag low-life that found out how to manipulate a $1 million industry. To this day Mark still has not returned my medications that I’ve requested multiple times to retrieve.

Hello Michael, thank you for sharing your experiences with our program. As we discussed prior to move-in, pets are rarely allowed in Sober Living Environments for several uncontrollable factors. We have, in the past, accommodated service animals for certain breeds and animal types. Prior to your arrival, we discussed that the dog, like the resident, must be a good fit for the program and that it may not work out. Your dog is a 6mo, 100lb Rottweiler. We also discussed that we require proper documentation designating the animal as a service animal and obtaining pet liability insurance coverage. We received neither of these items from you and for these reasons, we informed you that your dog would not be allowed to stay in the house. At that point, you abandoned your room and the program and refused to meet with me to discuss any further accommodations. We wish you all the best in your recovery.

My name is Eduardo and I had the opportunity to received the support and reside in By The Sea Recovery for 5 months. I have only words of gratitude and can’t speak highly enough of my experience in the house. I would be always grateful to Mark and Amy for the respect and endless support not only while in the house but through out my recovery. House is clean and very well kept by Delroy while treating you with respect and like an adult. Highly recommended

Hey Eduardo, thank you for your kind words. You did a lot of work during your in our program and I'm glad it is paying off, now pay it forward!!! I'm honored to be part of your recovery team!

I researched a number of sober living facilities in the area and found that "By The Sea Recovery" was absolutely the best. Mark Gladden is the owner and CEO of the facility and he runs a great program. He communicates very well and tells it like it is with no B.S. He is honest, fair and compassionate. He genuinely cares about the residents and does whatever he can to help ensure success. Debbie is the house manager and she is amazing. She runs a tight ship but also builds comarady among the residents. She knows when residents need privacy but also recognizes when someone is struggling and needs to talk. She is a great cook and her Chili Colorado is out of this world. I highly recommend "By The Sea Recovery" to anyone looking for a sober living facility.

Hello SM, thank you for your kinds words and allow us to be on this journey of recovery with you. Your a strong man and a dedicated father, keep up the good work!!!!

I own a Women's Sober Living Home next to Present Moments. One of my residents went there for out-patient and spoke very highly of their program. She would come home at night, excited about everything she learned. She said this was the first time she was able process her feelings in a group. She spoke very highly of the counselors their and was a changed women when she was finished. I appreciate the quality of treatment that Present Moment Recovery has to offer and will continue to refer my residents to them. From a friendly neighbor, Sober Living Today, LLC

Penny pinch you to death. Greedy and dishonest about refunds

Hello RC, sorry you had such bad experience about our policies. Our policies are designed to cover any additional expenses as a result of a clients move out, not punitive. All clients have the same responsibility when they move out as they do when they manage their daily recovery activities...

Deborah McAndrew

We highly recommend Mark and his facility. We have dealt with a number of different sober living facilities over the years. This one is by far the most professional and helpful.Mark answered a cold call from us when we were confused and desperate trying to help our son. Six months later he is transitioning to living on his own and we are thankful for Mark and the By the Sea community. Thank you!

We are honored to be part of your family's recovery process. Thank you for trusting us and the recovery community with his care, he is an awesome young man!!!

My brother, we’ll call him James to protect his anonymity, came here after attending their detox and inpatient program. He’s had tremendous success and currently has over six months of sobriety!! James has attended other treatment facilities and sober living homes and liked this one the best. I was able to visit him here and was very impressed by their organization and structure. Very friendly staff and a great living facility. We highly recommend! Thank You Recovery By The Sea

Thank you Jeff for your kind words, we live to touch lives and most importantly bring families and community together. May you continue to be blessed and may the journey be beautiful.
