Occupational Therapy Occupational therapy staff evaluates our client's ability to function, helping them to set short and long-term goals, and evaluate their likelihood for relapse. During weekly OT group sessions, clients address coping strategies for recovery, rebuilding roles in their families, and balancing responsibilities, including nutritional, social self-care and.
Medically assisted treatment is effective for many people because it combines the use of approved medications to counteract alcohol cravings, address symptoms associated with withdrawals, and address the underlying biology of withdrawal with behavioral therapy that helps the patient unlearn their unhealthy or unhelpful thinking patterns and develop personal coping strategies.

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.

Lasting recovery is a great place. It's the first place where I felt cared for. All the staff at LR are caring, approachable, wise and very honest. As as a client I felt the program was tailored made just for me and my needs involving addiction and mental health. Lasting recovery includes education, dbt, cbt therapy group and private counseling, yoga, meditation, nutrition and poetry which led me on a path of self discovery! I believe my recovery will be a forever life change due to the tools I learnt at Lasting Recovery! I definitely recommend to others.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

Judy Saalinger does a wonderful job connecting with people in recovery and is very dedicated to her role as a therapist and alcohol/drug educator. She designed her curriculum around her book which is highly effective in reducing fears in early recovery. Her program is sound, supportive, and effective for those who work their program. For the personal attention she offers clients, the price is reasonable and I highly recommend her treatment facility for those concerned about confidentiality as it's in an anonymous office environment. I used to work there and I believe strongly in her mission and
