Practical Recovery Psychology Group

Practical Recovery is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center located in La Jolla, California, in San Diego County. Established in 1985, they offer a non-12-step treatment approach for substance use disorder and mental health. Their services include outpatient addiction treatment, an Individualized Intensive Outpatient Program (IIOP) as an alternative to inpatient treatment, substance assessments, and continuing care groups. The center takes a self-empowering, personalized approach rather than fitting clients into pre-fabricated programs. They employ mostly doctoral-level providers focused on addressing underlying issues and offer completely flexible scheduling. Dr. Horvath, the founder and owner, co-founded SMART Recovery and was its president for 20 years. The practice uses evidence-based methods including optional holistic healing services and is available to serve clients across multiple states depending on location.
