When I first got started with CR, they made me feel right at home. I've been sober for 560 days now. They really helped me through the early stages of sobriety, which I might add, is the hardest. They kept me on the right track to see why I ended up there in the first place. I am very grateful and blessed that their services are readily available for anyone. I highly recommend them to my friends and family that need the help. This is a very great program to consider when it comes to addiction. Five star from me!

Confidential Recovery was and remains an integral part of my recovery. I voluntarily asked for help from the VA, particularly for alcohol abuse (Substance Use Disorder), and was approved for Community Care. I am overwhelmingly grateful that I ended up at Confidential Recovery. From the moment I interacted with Robert during indoctrination, I felt comfortable and welcomed. This program is highly nurturing, effective, and caters to unique individuals who suffer from various addictions and mental health challenges. All of the staff here are dedicated, professional and truly care about their clients. I have made lasting friendships with other clients and staff members alike. I’ve always said CR is magical and my safe place. After completing 6 months of IOP, I still continue to attend here for alumni meetings and monthly BBQs. I highly recommend this program to veterans and civilians, as I have seen success in both facets. 10/10

I have been attending Confidential Recovery for several months, and I am highly impressed with the program. I could not recommend them more warmly. The team is genuinely caring and clearly invested in the people they serve. The program offers a strong balance of educational and process groups, with well‑prepared materials and facilitators who consistently create a safe space for vulnerability and honest reflection about substance use. I’ve also noticed a very healthy, collaborative chemistry among the staff. Case managers meet with clients on a regular basis and are responsive when additional support is needed, including during more challenging moments. The program does a thoughtful job balancing accountability with compassion, recognizing that recovery is a process and that people are human. Lastly, the location itself is one of the coziest outpatient settings I’ve seen—peaceful, filled with natural light, beautiful nature photography on the walls, and a warm, home‑like atmosphere that supports meaningful conversations and healing.

I came to Confidential Recovery (CR) at the lowest time of my life and had never been in intensive outpatient treatment before this. From day 1, Brendan Moaratty and Robert Clay treated me as family. They are both tremendous chemical dependency professionals (CDPs), but even more so: human beings with exceptional decency, the highest moral fiber, and intuitive and practical in how one moves forward in an alcohol free life. CR has saved my life and equipped and empowered me to be happy and get back to thriving. I had many root causes leading to my excessive drinking, and the entirety of the CR therapy team has helped me to see and address these root causes and find a new and positive way to live. CR and its CDPs are not cookie cutters, go through the motions, or read off a script professionals. My program was individually adapted to my needs and personality, and it works for me. I have been in treatment at CR for 5 months now, and will participate in the future in CR's alumni program. I can personally testify that CR works and is a welcoming landing pad and a place of rebirth, as out of my destruction came renovation. Brendan Moaratty and Robert Clay, and others at CR are now like brothers and sisters to me, and have modeled to me what a true reciprocal relationship is. How do I thank CR for helping to create a new life for me? I can't thank them enough, but I can show my respect and honor to them by showing up, standing tall, and by applying the lessons they taught me.

Brendan at CR has been great for me on my journey. I didnt think I could go sober for more than a couple months, but now Ive just reached my 1 year mark. I haven't done that since I was a little kid. Brendan always checked in on me (even when I didnt want him too lol) and really cared. The whole CR program and team are great and its very flexiable with anyones schedule. I highly recommend trying this program if you are looking to get sober or even just stop the self destructive behaviors. Its a great atmosphere and they have a lot to offer!

Brendan and Greg are amazing people. I couldn't ask for a better pair of counselors helping me on my recovery journey. Thank you guys for your support 🙏

As a parent, finding the right treatment center for an adult child struggling with addiction is one of the most emotional and important decisions you can make. You look beyond the polished website, hoping to find something real: compassion, professionalism, privacy, and genuine care. When you are carrying fear, uncertainty, and hope all at once, you want more than credentials. You want to know that your loved one will be treated with care and respect. That is exactly what I found with Confidential Recovery. From my very first phone calls, I sensed something different. The person who spoke with me took the time to listen without rushing, without judgment, and without making me feel like just another worried parent. Those initial conversations brought a level of calm and reassurance that I truly needed in those moments. In those first interactions, I could already sense the compassion and professionalism I had been hoping to find. Although I have not personally attended the program, I have witnessed a meaningful shift in my adult child’s outlook and emotional well-being since beginning treatment there. What stands out most is the authenticity of the staff. From what has been shared with me, this is not a place where recovery is treated like a checklist or routine process. The team connects with people in a way that feels deeply human, respectful, and grounded in genuine care. That kind of understanding makes it easier for someone to engage in the hard work of recovery without feeling shamed, judged, or reduced to a label. One of the greatest comforts for me has been knowing that my child feels respected, supported, and safe. Recovery requires vulnerability, and it means everything to know that my child is in an environment where honesty can exist without fear of judgment. Feeling safe enough to open up is often one of the biggest hurdles in recovery, and Confidential Recovery creates that kind of space. What I appreciate most about Confidential Recovery is that the culture appears to be rooted in integrity and empathy at every level. From intake to ongoing support, there is a consistent sense that people are treated as individuals with unique histories and strengths, not simply as cases to be managed. That kind of care leaves a lasting impression. Today, I am simply grateful. Grateful that my child felt comfortable saying yes to help. Grateful that there is a place where healing is approached with dignity and professionalism. And grateful that I, as a parent, can breathe a little easier knowing that this kind of support is part of the journey at Confidential Recovery. Whether you are a parent or someone seeking a program that truly understands both the clinical side of recovery and the human side of healing, Confidential Recovery is well worth considering.

Confidential Recovery Addiction Center has been a life-changing resource. The staff is not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely compassionate. They understand the unique needs of both civilians and military veterans, which made a huge difference in my recovery journey. As a veteran, I appreciated how they respected my background and created a safe, structured environment where I could focus on healing. The programs are evidence-based, confidential, and tailored to individual needs—no one-size-fits-all approach here. Whether you're active duty, retired, or a civilian struggling with addiction, this place treats you with dignity and purpose. Highly recommend to anyone ready to take that next step toward recovery.

My experience with CRP has been incredibly positive. The program focuses on recovery, mental health, and building healthier relationships, and it provided a safe, supportive space where I could open up without feeling pressured or judged. One of the biggest personal shifts I noticed was my ability to be more honest and vulnerable in a group setting—something I had struggled with before. CRP offers flexibility in both duration and format, with options for in-person or virtual participation. The hours are very manageable, which made it easier to stay committed. What stood out to me most was the warmth and genuine care shown by the staff. I never once felt like just another name on a list—they continued to check in with me even after I completed the program. I would absolutely recommend CRP to anyone who is looking to better understand themselves, break out of negative thought patterns, or simply feel less alone. It encourages meaningful self-reflection and the sharing of experiences, which not only helps in healing but also in connecting with others who are going through similar struggles. It’s a place where real change can begin.

Choosing Confidential Recovery was one of the best decisions I've ever made. When I came to them, I was struggling significantly with alcohol, and my life felt completely off track. Thanks to their incredible support and guidance, I've not only stopped drinking, but I've also re-established healthy routines that I thought were long gone. The team at Confidential Recovery quickly helped me get back on track with my medication, which was crucial for my overall well-being. They also motivated me to start working out again and even get back into playing sports, both of which have been incredibly beneficial for my physical and mental health. On top of that, they provided excellent resources and encouragement to help me develop better eating habits and improve my brain health and function. I'm so grateful for the comprehensive and compassionate care I received. Confidential Recovery truly understands how to help individuals reclaim their lives, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking to overcome addiction and build a healthier future.

These guys saved my life. I was on a down ward spiral for years until I started here. I struggled at first but the stuck with me and I never gave up. Now I am sober living the best life I can. Thanks CR

Over time confidential recovery has evolved as I have experienced sobriety I am thankful of the resources and relationships that have bonded me and grounded me in seeking abstinence thank you for the experience as I am still a work in progress Chuck

Hands down this is the BEST recovery around! If you’re looking for real people to help your real problem, it is here. I’ve been to a place that was definitely for profit and kinda helped but mainly wanted to bill my insurance as much as they could. These people that work here on the front end and behind the scenes are as genuine as it gets. When you are in the zoom meetings or walking into the in person meetings you just feel safe and seen. Thank you to everyone on staff there for everything you have done.

CR is really a one stop for all your recovery needs. The staff are super supportive and are there to give you the best guidance for your substance addiction recovery. Mind and body health experiences. There is no judgement or shaming. As a recovering alcoholic myself I have been in this program for 10 months (sober) . Let me tell you . I have learned more about myself and the pathology of my addiction than I could have received anywhere else. There are only 5 stars but I would give 10. I give 5 stars just for the snacks.

Coming here has been one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. The staff are angels sent from heaven, and therapy here is like no other I have received. IOP includes multiple different approaches that focus on all aspects of life- mind, body, and spirit. I feel so connected, supported, and encouraged by both staff and other group members. This place is truly amazing!

Professional, holistic and personalized addiction treatment in a flexible setting where clients feel supported on their recovery journey. Group size is appropriate to get lots of benefits from the experience.

When I entered Confidential Recovery I had no idea why I had addictive tendencies, how, or if I would be able to overcome them. Through the personal attention I received from the caring, experienced, therapists, and interactive group sessions, the sources of my addictive behavior were brought to light. The awareness exercises enable me to recognize cravings and allow me to use the skills learned to redirect my thoughts in a healthy direction. I now have a set of tools to approach social and personal situations constructively, which have, and will continue to improve relationships at all levels. The experience has transformed me from feeling like a spectator of my life to being an active participant in it.

I am impressed with the knowledgable and compassionate staff that Scott has brought together. I wish they were around when I got started on this path. CR is my first referral choice for outpatient adult recovery.

When confidentiality is of utmost importance when considering which Intensive Outpatient Program to attend, this facility's name says it all. They are so private, they even keep their location a challenge to find...even though they are hiding right out in the open in central San Diego. Why the secrecy? Because some people: politicians, media professionals, physicians, law enforcement, and other first responders are often in highly sensitive positions where just the hint that they are receiving help for chemical dependency and related problems could be...hmmm, let me put this well...problematic. Confidential Recovery has a terrific staff who care about their clients and have broad backgrounds in chemical dependency treatment to meet the specialized and nuanced needs of their concentrated clientele.

From the moment I walked into Confidential Recovery everyone made me feel so welcome. Anyone who has ever dealt with addiction knows it's not easy. The staff is genuinely there to help you. They truly care about recovery and will work around your schedule.
