People do recover every single day from alcoholism and drug addiction, and more importantly, people do get better, but they rarely do it alone. San Diego Freedom Ranch is a 50 bed residential treatment facility for adult males recovering from alcohol and substance abuse. We're located in Campo, 50 miles east of San Diego, California.

It has taken considerable time and research, but alcoholism is now accepted as a disease. Like many other diseases, it has symptoms that include the need for alcohol despite negative consequences (poor health, job loss, divorce, etc). Alcoholism is a chronic and progressive illness and like other diseases, it has a predictable course and is influenced genetically and environmentally. Furthermore, it is characterized by a preoccupation with the drug, distortions in one's thinking and denial.

The Freedom Ranch utilizes the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, but is not in any way affiliated or associated with A.A. Funds for our program are partially provided by the County of San Diego, Health and Human Services Agency, Alcohol and Drug Services.

The San Diego Freedom Ranch, Inc. was established in 1972 as a nonprofit, 501(c)(3), Alcohol and Drug Residential Treatment facility. Its mission is to provide a safe, healthy, and sober environment which offers a program of recovery for alcoholics and drug addicts to achieve and sustain sobriety - adopting "A new life through love and service."
