About Practical Recovery La Jolla

Practical Recovery La Jolla is an outpatient addiction treatment center founded in 1985 by Dr. Tom Horvath the co-founder and former president of SMART Recovery that offers evidence based non 12 step care in La Jolla, California.

The program treats alcohol, drug, and behavioral addictions alongside co-occurring disorders through outpatient services, IOP, and their signature Individual Intensive Outpatient Program (IIOP).

As an out of network provider Practical Recovery accepts private pay with superbills available for PPO insurance reimbursement as well as offering payment assistance.

Detox Referrals and IIOP

Practical Recovery specializes in alternatives to conventional 12 step programs. A doctoral level psychology team uses Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and SMART Recovery principles to treat addiction as maladaptive behavior rather than a moral failing.

The IIOP delivers residential level intensity through three to four individual therapy sessions per day for one to three weeks. Sessions explore underlying psychological issues, build coping skills, and address root causes. Clients in need of detox services can be referred to a local treatment facility.

Co-Occurring Disorder and Trauma Support

Practical Recovery addresses co-occurring conditions including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and trauma alongside substance use disorders. The team offers optional EMDR for trauma processing plus holistic services like mindfulness, acupuncture, and yoga.
