Extend caring words towards someone you care!


A scientifically proven and universally accepted fact about human beings is that men are physically strong but emotionally weaker! They are in constant need for emotional support. It is also proven that they succumb to situational pressures and demanding roles more easily than their counter part. They easily fall prey to different lures. They need more external support and help to fight out personal issues. I do not wish to sound bios but the studies conducted in many developed and developing nations give out these results, which have been published in a daily in UK. The write up here is not about being feminist, but it is sincere effort to describe that how much love and care men require to live a normal life. They need love, care and attention like any normal kid. A survey shows that comparatively more men get addicted to drugs and alcohol than women. These findings are backed by an explanation, that women typically engage in house oriented activities like managing house and childcare, thus are left with rare opportunity to become addict.


Based on emotional needs, it is very important to convince them to accept the problem and get them admitted to a rehab. This is a very tricky job, but a family can very well perform it. Many rehabs or social services institutes have special programs for educating the families on how to talk to an addict, what to say to support someone, what should not be said at all etc. Once primitive tasks of getting a loved one accept the problem, next step is to admitting them into a rehab. Various rehabs run expert recovery programs with understanding individual needs and belief. These rehabs are homes away from home. The environment is very much supportive to quit the addiction. Here the families are also trained along with the addicts to support in living a prolonged sober life. They are trained on what to say loved one in rehab. Many web-sites also have various FAQ sessions which address to this question. Basic objective of the talks carried out at rehab with loved ones should be around being positive, thinking positive and feeling positive. The newly sobers need feel secure once they are out of rehab to retain their sobriety, at this point the families can extend warm words and welcome them happily into a new life. An embrace from loved ones works wonders than medicines.

Real people, real roles and high functioning addiction!


It was some years ago, while travelling an overnight journey in a train, I happened to come across a very interesting person. Highly impressive persona, reading a sci-fi novel, carrying high end gadgets and making frequent conference calls with his subordinates. In short, to me he seemed to be a very intelligent and highly placed person. We did strike a good conversation about economical, political situations around world and so on. He seemed to be a good company. He had a square family back home. They all loved each other very much; in fact he showed me the snaps of his family members and home, a very happy picture! There was a slight sting of envy; I was merely a beginner at my job then! He had everything I could ever dream of and long for…! Only one odd thing about him was his habit of sipping alcohol from time to time. Meals served on board. We relished the savories. He had a large portion of alcohol before meal…another abnormal thing! To my opinion, it was very strange to consume alcohol in such a huge amount. But he was doing it out of habit, which might have been a result of his highly demanding job. He got off at a station prior to mine.

There was one more co-traveler in my compartment, who was also a part of our conversation, was observing him very closely! He was reading a medical journal and was a medical practitioner at a rehab. After the earlier alighted train, we continued to talk. Some very shocking revelations came from the other co passenger. According to him, the impressive man was a high functioning alcoholic! The expert shared his own experiences about such people. He also imparted me some knowledge about the treatment for functioning alcoholic carried out at his rehab. Everything seemed so unrealistic, as it did not sink into me, that a person with every good fortune at his disposal can be an addict! He also mentioned that there are many kinds of help available to convince these addicts to accept the problem and get them ready for the treatment for functioning addict. Social media sites also play their role and share links to some good literature for such addictions and their recovery. I thanked him heartily for interesting bits of information!

Substance abuse is a treatable dis-ease!


As this title suggest, an addiction is not a disease, but it is merely dis-ease. This is a feeling of uneasiness, which leads us to perform various activities for comfort. By surrendering to a drug, a Trans is achieved. This Trans pulls a person into an unreal world. An illusionary world which seems to take away pains and grieves for some time. There are various types of substances which are used for a high. Among few are Marijuana, Grass, and Ecstasy etc. Various drugs have different functions. But all of them hit the mental ability of a person. Some of them are also prescribed drugs. They are suggested by the doctor for getting sound sleep. But taking overdose of it can lead to fatal incidents. Hence these are to be taken in a suggested measure.

Abusing any substance can lead to very dangerous and life threatening incidents. Ecstasy is a drug that can cause mental addiction and we treat many young men and women for whom ecstasy is a primary drug of choice. Ecstasy is potentially fatal every time it is used and is extremely dangerous if mixed with other drugs or alcohol. Ecstasy is a street name for MDMA, a synthetic, psychoactive drug chemically similar to the stimulant methamphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline. It's a neurotoxin drug with many negative effects. Ecstasy is taken orally in tablet form the majority of the time. Occasionally, ecstasy is "snorted" or taken nasally, and in extremely rare cases, young adults do smoke or even take ecstasy intravenously.

Extacy addiction has various side effects including increases in heart rate and blood pressure, a special risk for people with circulatory problems or heart disease, and other symptoms such as muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, nausea, blurred vision, faintness, and chills or sweating. Psychological effects can include confusion, sleep problems, drug craving, and severe anxiety. Erratic mood swings and depression can lead to isolation from friends and family. Another common effect of ecstasy use is decreased performance on the job or in school. All this leads to an unstable state of mind and body.

But ecstasy treatment is readily available. We chalk out a treatment plan based upon our client’s individual needs and requirements. Also we follow our client’s regional believes which help us find out more personal information, this in turn helps our experts to plan out recovery process for our client.

Rehabs offering a second chance to live!

The world is very much complicated. It offers many happy moments, but also equally sad or stressful ones. It is up to someone how to deal with this. Many face it bravely but many fall prey to harsh situations. As they say, life is always give and take. Many times it happens, that life only “takes” and does not give back the expected. This brings in lots of depression to a person. To seek some solace, he turns to various activities which might be or might not be really helpful to him. Some of such activities could be indulging into sports, music or any other hobbies. These are some of very constructive and stress-buster activities. There are activities which do not fall under constructive category. They are more of life threatening or destructing ones, like alcohol addiction, substance abuse or drug addiction. These activities takes a person away from the reality for short period, but after the effect of the drug is over then real world looks even harsher.

Recognizing addiction is one step towards healing. It is very difficult to realize that one is addicted to a substance. Many are in denial of this. But some families take a step forward and seek help of professionals. More than the addicts, it is the surrounding persons which get affected because of this habit. Asking for clinical or professionals support is a very wise step. There are many rehabs which carry out recovery treatment programs. There are various helps available around us in a form of web-sites which educate families, counselors, medical experts. We are a one stop solution to all the addiction related queries and problems. We are a facility specially for created for men, where they can be among persons of same sex. We also believe that encouraging the addicts to quit the habit by making them feel loved. So we call in the families to educate them about what to say to alcoholic or a drug addict. We also give families one month long training program so that they can know what to say to someone in rehab. Not everybody is aware of medical facts, through this program we communicate with families to boost the morale of the addicts to live a sober life and give up the habit.

Achieving sobriety with the help of Christian believes


Christianity is a religion which puts lots of emphasis on equality. It firmly believes that there is God in every living being. This is a predominant belief that lays a foundation stone of this religion. It treats all the living being as the children of the Almighty or the creator. Out of many creations of the highest power, the human being and its mind is very complicated and highly intelligent creation. It is the most challenging yet very much predictable. It has the most powerful tool granted and which is put to the best of its usage through human mind. This many times overtakes the creator itself. As it is said, everything in moderation is acceptable; it may happen that this mind surpasses the boundaries set by its own creator and go beyond the imaginable. But this requires lot of efforts and these efforts lead to the stress. This word “Stress” is one of the most vital factors which leads the most dear children of God towards addiction.

Addiction, be it any kind, shows a weakness dwelling in the human mind. When things go beyond our reach and cannot be repaired with the available resources, we tend to run away from them and seek escapism. We resort to many temporary things rather than eliminating them. One such escapism which is found commonly is the Addiction. People succumb to the illusions that the addiction creates and takes them away from their worries for a time being. When this addiction is beyond control then external help is sought by families or oneself. Our Christian treatment for addiction is one very effective tool for quitting the addiction and living a life of sobriety. Our clients get personalized treatment program. We have combined the Christian believes and state-of-art professional clinical methods to develop a Christian drug treatment program. In 1991 we have joined hands with Saddleback church to chalk out a program which effectively weaves the Christian teaching with medicinal science. Celebrate recovery has 12 steps and 8 recovery programs. We welcome God’s healing power within the human being. This program includes celebrate Recovery process groups and step studies, individual counseling with a counselor, Bible studies and workbook activities, celebrate Recovery services and worship services at Saddleback Church.

High functioning addicts; a common trait!


A high profile executive, an actor, a successful businessman have everything we can envy about. They have a secured job which pays them more than they could spend ; a life that anybody could want to live, a dotting family which supports them through thick and thin. They have everything a common person could possibly dream of. They have equally high profile friends. Could there be anything lacking into their life? From a normal person’s view probably nothing. Still they are highly pressured to perform even better at work. They have constant fear of insecurity to let go of their stability. They even take extra efforts to enhance their skills and be at the top. This race with themselves keeps their mind engaged into their high- functioning addiction. One of the legendary singers of the century, who died recently, was addicted to prescription drugs. This addiction is very commonly found unaddressed into the high- flying and affluent people. They are so much engrossed into their high functioning routines that they even forget their families.

In the beginning this addiction goes very much unnoticed, but it takes over the mind eventually. The high functioning addicts are not easily spotted. Thus it becomes very difficult to helping a high functioning addict, as they are constantly into denial. These addicts lead a double life. They are highly successful in day and the addicts into nights. Some high-functioning addicts gradually lose control over their drinking or drug use over a number of years, while others experience a dramatic event that brings the severity of their problem to the forefront. In either case, treatment is often the only way for a high-functioning addict to reclaim control over their career, family life and future.

The families of high-functioning addicts play a critical role in getting them into treatment. The first step, according to Stump, is contacting a professional interventionist or addiction specialist who can help the addict recognize the extent of their drug problem and enter an addiction treatment program that meets their unique needs. High functioning alcoholic prefer to be surrounded by heavy drinkers. As part of its holistic approach to addiction treatment, The Landing addresses each client’s situation individually, including their physical, emotional, social and dietary needs. Through intensive individual, group and family therapy, mind activities, healthy meals prepared by a gourmet chef, and a highly individualized treatment approach, we create a safe, private and healing atmosphere for men to start down the road to recovery.

Choose your best drug treatment center

A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function. There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage.


Significant life changes take time and hard work. There are no shortcuts, magic or easy ways to overcome the lure of alcohol, heroin, cocaine, marijuana or any other forms of substance abuse. Change involves working through anger, pain, embarrassment, and the fears that ultimately would lead to relapse. From the day they are admitted, our residents begin learning the tools and skills necessary to maintain sobriety.


Sunrise Recovery Center is a small, intimate treatment center. Unlike many hospitals or institutional settings, we have multiple beautiful ranch houses with a pool, gym, hot tub, and many other amenities. Situated on acres of rolling greens, the residents truly feel like they are at home rather than in a treatment center. The 30 day program provides a highly structured and supportive environment. The goal of recovery is long term sobriety. One of the most effective tools of recovery and sobriety is the supportive network of the 12-step programs. With this in mind, individuals also attend 12-step meetings in the community under supervision as well as meetings “in-house” that are attended by persons in the AA community.


The Family Program is managed by the main Sober Living by the Sea center and situated in Newport Beach. The resident participates in the three day program after completion of the initial 30 days at Sunrise Recovery. However, if there is a need before that time, we will bring the family out at the three week juncture to participate in group counseling.


Sunrise Recovery also provides residents with a number of 90 day Extended Care options. These include Sober Living by the Sea’s highly acclaimed academic T.E.A.C.H Program, Working Residential, Reflections and its Intensive Outpatient Program.

More About Marijuana’s Place in our Society


Medical cannabis (also referred to as medical marijuana) is the use of cannabis and its constituent cannabinoids such as THC as a physician-recommended form of medicine or herbal therapy. Marijuana is an addictive drug that is actually quite destructive for many people. We have marijuana treatment programs here in Orange County California where people can get sober right on the beach while having a great time and learning a lot.

Throughout the last several decades, marijuana has been considered less sinister than other illegal narcotics like cocaine and heroin. While it is true that marijuana is less addictive than substances like crack, ecstasy, and methamphetamine, our experience has demonstrated that clients who arrive at our drug rehab addicted to the harder substances inevitably began their drug use with marijuana. So, the time has long passed that marijuana should be considered harmless.

Marijuana can be psychologically addicting and there have been many men and women who have arrived here in Newport Beach with marijuana as their primary drug of choice. These clients have become emotionally and mentally dependent on marijuana (also known as "pot," "weed," "ganja," or a host of other names). The psychological dependence can take a significant time to overcome, with many marijuana-addicted individuals feeling despondent, depressed, and as though will never enjoy life again without the drug's effects.

Marijuana’s Place in our Society:

Marijuana is the most favored and glorified drug of all the illegal narcotics that are being abused in our society. It continues to be a drug of entry for many Americans. Reports indicate that the marijuana available today can be five times more potent than the marijuana of the 1970s and that teenager can often obtain marijuana more easily than alcohol.

Marijuana is a greenish-gray mixture of the dried, shredded leaves, stems, seeds and flowers of cannabis sativa, the hemp plant. Most users smoke marijuana in hand-rolled cigarettes called joints. Some use pipes or water pipes called bongs. Also becoming popular are marijuana cigars, called blunts, where the tobacco in cigars is replaced with marijuana and often combined with another drug, such as crack cocaine.

Whatever it's called, and however it's used, marijuana can produce adverse physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral changes. Contrary to popular belief, marijuana can be addictive. Marijuana smoke, like cigarette smoke, can harm the lungs. The use of marijuana can impair short-term memory, verbal skills, and judgment and distort perception. It also may weaken the immune system and may even increase a user's likelihood of developing cancer. Studies also show that the increasing use of marijuana by very young teens may have a profoundly negative effect upon their development.

Intensive Outpatient Drug rehab program


Alcohol abuse differs from alcoholism in that it does not include an extremely strong craving for alcohol, loss of control over drinking, or physical dependence. Alcohol abuse is defined as a pattern of drinking. Accepting the fact that help is needed for an alcohol problem may not be easy. But keep in mind that the sooner you get help, the better are your chances for a successful recovery.

Intensive Outpatien:

The Intensive Outpatient Mental Treatment Program (IOP) is more intensive than traditional outpatient and is designed to achieve short-term stabilization and resolution of immediate problem areas. The patient and family are offered services by a team of professionals. The patient is enrolled in a time-limited program with other patients working on similar issues. The treatment team may include licensed therapists, nurses, program specialists, and a doctor.

Orange County's Leading Intensive Outpatient (IOP) drug treatment and Orange County rehab program. Outpatient programs work well for men and women with a stable home environment and a support system in place that allows them to live at home and get drug rehab treatment during the days or at night.

The outpatient program is a close-knit group of people who meet with each other daily (during the day or evenings) to receive addiction education and participate in therapeutic processes. This allows a man or woman to live at home and still get the benefit of our 25 plus years of experience treating drug addiction and alcoholism.

Some components of the IOP program include:

  • Alcohol / Drug Screening every 72 hours

  • Individual and Group Therapy

  • Assessment, Treatment and Aftercare Planning

  • Access to all Facilities and Treatment Programs

Contact Sober Living by the Sea by calling 866.323.5609 to speak with our team of addictions and legal experts about arranging the appropriate outpatient rehab treatment program for you or your loved one.

We can start the process of verifying insurance coverage and perform an "over the phone" basic assessment when you place your first call to us. If you are more comfortable, you can just discuss confidentially your situation and history of drug use (or that of your loved one).

Celebrate Recovery - Time to rediscover a Difference


Celebrate recovery is a drug rehab center that is a Christ-centered 12-Step program which has laid the foundation in 1991 at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. It has now became active in more than 3,500 churches across USA and the world. The main goal to setup this center was to help people overcome addiction with a 12 step program based on Biblical teaching, more churches and prisons then implemented this program. According to wikipedia by March 2004 more than 150,000 people were said to have participated and U.S. President George W Bush had praised Celebrate Recovery as being able to "change hearts" where government cannot. Celebrate recovery meetings is same as other 12 step programs the only difference is that this program is purely based on the principles of Christianity and believes in no higher authority other than Jesus. Another reason why Celebrate Recovery meetings is different from other's is that it does not require one to conform himself/herself to qualify oneself as an alcoholic, addict, or gambler to join this program. There are no specific requirements for membership. You can attend with a strong desire to work on the steps for healing with any type of hurts or hang-ups or habits.

It basically works on an episode of bible when Jesus taught the Sermon on the Mount, where he had stated “Eight Ways to Be Happy”. These are called Beatitudes today. On a practical viewpoint if you see most of these statements don't look ironic. They sound like complete contradictions, but as one fully understands the core meaning of what Jesus is saying, then these eight principles will look like God’s road to growth, recovery, wholeness and path of complete spiritual maturity.

In this recovery program all types of hang-ups, hurts and habits are addressed. Unlike other recovery programs it does not only deal with alcohol or drugs or any other single problem because Celebrate Recovery is like a “large umbrella” under which you can deal with unlimited issues.

This recovery program works on the biblical truth that is we need each other to grow emotionally and spiritually. It is made of small group interaction and a caring community's fellowship. Not like other therapies, counselors, and growth programs that are based on one on one interaction. But Celebrate Recovery works on the New Testament principle that we don’t recover by ourselves
we all need each other. The two important components of spiritual growth are fellowship and accountability.

Say no to Addiction


Even in Bible it is said “Listen, my child, be wise and give serious thought to the way you live. Don't associate with people who drink too much wine or stuff themselves with food.” Nobody wants a wise person to mess up his life because of staying with the wrong company. The ones who are addicted are always considered to be loser's in their life who are unable to cope up with their day to day problems and have lost faith in themselves. People are always advised not to associate with them.

What can be Done?

Addiction not only affects you but also your family has to suffer. It is also said in Bible that “Drunkards and gluttons will be reduced to poverty”. If all you do is eat and sleep, you will soon be wearing rags and we can see that this is the truth. This is what happens to those kind of people who are not serious about their life and find pleasures in drinking and wasting time.

There are many great rehab centers for addiction around the world. Lots of people have consulted these centers and quit addiction. Among them Christian rehab for men are loved and chosen by many people as they not only give them mental counseling but they also give spiritual healing. This helps the patient's mental as well as spiritual growth. And it is said when God is with you nothing is impossible, you can quit and adopt anything in life moreover spirituality can be considered as “Soul Food” that develops your will power and spiritual teachings gives you an idea about right and wrong things in Life.

Sober Landing center in California works on these principles, it gives alcoholic treatment for Christian Men which was found in 1991 at saddle back church in orange country California. It is the same church where recovering clients visit for Christ-based recovery activities and church services on Sunday. It has a program called celebrate recovery which works on a beautiful Bible based 12 step process and 8 recovery programs and they believe that these steps will help men to recover from Drug and Alcohol addiction. This Christian rehab for men will not only help them recover but will also give them chance to be familiar to men who have exposure to the scriptures. This alcoholic treatment for Christian men will help them rediscover true meaning of their life.

And since there is so much time in a day that a man will participate in therapeutic and educational activities indoors he will not have the time to remember of the addictions. The patients can also frequently participate in outdoor and social activities that will not only make them physically invigorating but also make them socially and spiritually stimulating. So If your are looking for a alcoholic treatment for men in California then a Christian rehab for men in sober landing would be one of the best choice.

Rehab Center

Drug rehab centers provide excellent treatment services to their patients, they make them realize how important they are for their family and beloved. They try to make them understand that they are capable of being a good parent, responsible child or caring life partner who have lost their way by accepting the short term pleasure of addiction and thinking that it is more necessary than the long term benefits of a drug free life.

Addiction concerns for family


The reason why human beings differ from the other living organisms is brains. This is what makes us distinct and superior than other living organisms on earth. It provides us the ability to think, helps us to take decisions and act accordingly. Whatever we do in our life is always 'OUR CHOICE' nobody can compel us to do that things. Addiction is also one of that wrong choice which we make in our life. I may sound harsh but if you ask any addicted person how he got into all this, you will find that they always prefer to choose addictions for enjoyment and are believers that “Well I can always quit when I want to”. But they never realize when they get trapped inside their very own alcohol bottle and find it difficult to come out afterwards.

The Suffering

Along with the addict even the family suffers from alcoholism. According to a survey alcoholism is one of the biggest cause for divorce or family breakups in the whole world in addition to other damages done. But family is always our first preference. They are the ones who have made us independent in our life. So when they see there dear ones suffering from this deadly addictions they are very much hurt. At this time there remarks are like taunts in your years. But why can't an addicted person think that they are not trying to pinch them but are concerned about them. It fades away all the good times and worldly pleasures which comes from a healthy relationship. Moreover, the family finances also get disturbed. One may find hard to patch up with all this losses if he does not take a correct step early.

How to Quit?

As I said before no one can compel you to do anything its always your choice, and if you are the one who have chosen the bad habits then only you can choose to quit. Even if it is difficult there are many places where you can get drug rehab. This is the first step that responsible person takes to come out of addiction and reunite his family. These counseling centers have helped millions of family to quit addiction and live a healthy life. Soberlanding is also one of them, it hosts many family counseling programs and educates family on how dreadful is the disease of addiction. It is a monthly program which helps you learn how to respond to the challenges in the present and future when the addiction persist.

So do not wait for this disease of addiction to spread inside you,as your family also suffers because of your addiction. Get a family counseling for addiction. This will bring back the days of happiness which seems to be lost somewhere.

Meth addiction: deadly threat


A person takes help of each and every means available to deal with stress. There are many measures which do not offer immediate result but they work for our betterment steadily. There are another means which offer quick relief and release a fascinating feeling of detachment from the outside world. Many of us fall prey to the latter option as it arises the feeling of high which is not obtained without working hard or without achieving anything. The addicted person does not live in real world. Initially it is just a habit, but eventually it becomes addiction and turns into a major life threat.

Sunrise recovery: only rehab for men


It is very human to feel comfortable in the company of the same sex. People tend to respond in a very positive and cooperative manner while surrounded by the similar sex. They very much feel connected and co relate with each other’s problem, giving a very reciprocal response. After 23 years of experience in tackling the addiction, we have realized that there is a strong connection in being surrounded by the same sex people and getting treatment for addiction. Thus we have set up a facility just for men, who are struggling to overcome their addiction. We provide our male clients with a highly structured and supportive program in a closed environment located in the beautiful California foothills. The goal of Sunrise Recovery is to give the chemically dependent or alcoholic man the best possible chance at achieving long-term recovery by creating a solid foundation in sobriety. This is the men’s only rehab in California.

At Sunrise Recovery in Southern California, our expert addictions treatment clinicians have created a highly structured, supervised, and supportive environment in a spiritually inspiring location in Riverside, which is believed to have a long term and positive effect on our clients. The men participating in addiction treatment program find themselves in a peaceful and friendly vacation-like environment while they receive a state-of-the-art treatment for every kind of addiction on a consistent basis. We also involve their families into the treatment program as they play a vital role post treatment. Receiving addiction treatment in a men's only program provides the recovering alcoholic or addict the benefit of working together and forging caring bonds of support and accountability with other recovering men. The men can focus on their sobriety for 30, 60, or 90 days and build an excellent foundation that will help them overcome the urge to relapse when they graduate to less supervised care in our extended care, transitional work, or outpatient programs.

There is gender specific difference in perceiving the addiction. It is different in men and women; this is also one of the core reasons, why this drug rehab for men is established. There are separate issues which lead men and women into the addiction. At sunrise recovery we have all men staff. In this way they can concentrate on their recovery process, rather than the social approval of their changed behavioral patterns.

Long term recovery program for prolonged relief


A stress is word that could throw any person into a disturbing state of mind. A stress could be a result of anything be it a deadline at workplace, financial or personal problem or even a school project or grades. Anything can cause stress. But there are some individuals which have the courage fight back. But there are some who succumb to the circumstances. They need support to fight it out, when they fail to get it, they are led to some external factors which give them temporary relief from the ongoing anxiety in life. They are drawn to the addictions. These addictions give them a high and make them forget the reality for a while. But after they get back into real life, the reality hits them even harder. At that time they are unable to face and again go back to the drugs. This turns into a circle that needs to be broken. The addiction can have a long term as well as short term effects.

The drug addiction does not help us solve any of our problems; rather it leads us to take resort of escapism. The drugs give us a high and thus take us into a world of unrealistic. After the effect of drug is drained out one has to face the reality as it is. This task is even more painful. In reaction to unable to cope with the problems one takes help pg drugs once gain to escape into the unreal world. We at Sunrise recovery know exactly how it feels to be a slave of a drug. It affects the personal as well as professional life of a person. Our drug recovery program helps men overcome their addictions by giving them highly structured but caring support. Sunrise Recovery is places for men who come to build their self esteem and meet other men who have recovered. One has to undergo a rigorous treatment program to overcome this addiction. We believe that there are no short cuts to healing. Sunrise Recovery Center is a small, intimate treatment center. Unlike many hospitals or institutional settings, we have multiple beautiful ranch houses with a pool, gym, hot tub, and many other amenities. Situated on acres of rolling greens, the residents truly feel like they are at home rather than in a treatment center. It is a 30 day 12 step program to quitting the addiction.
