Meeting Clients Where They Are & Helping Them
Become Who They Were Meant To Be
Facing substance use or mental health challenges can leave one feeling overwhelmed and isolated. The desire for safety, success, and purpose are within reach, but they can be difficult to grasp alone. At Able To Change Recovery, no one walks this journey alone. We’ll walk together every step of the way with practical support and hopeful motivation.
We are a family-founded organization with a client-first and community-focused philosophy, openly showing acceptance and compassion to every person we help. Everyone here should feel like they belong and like they’re part of the family. We take a deeply personal approach to working with each individual and are eager to provide the treatment, tools, and support needed for a life defined by healing and potential.
How We Can Help
Substance use disorder and alcohol addiction continue to present genuine heartbreak in our communities. We believe recovery is possible for everyone. No matter the challenges, our team is here to help forge a path toward healing and balance.
Recent survey data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration reveals that approximately 48.7 million people had a substance use disorder, including over 29 million people with alcohol use disorder. [1]
Primary mental health challenges also present a disheartening picture. Of all U.S. adults, more than 19% had an anxiety disorder in the last year, over 4% experienced bipolar disorder at some time in their lives, and the lifetime prevalence of PTSD was measured at 6.8%. [2][3][4]
Despite these numbers, we confidently believe that every person’s journey toward healing is worth pursuing. With primary pathways for both mental health and substance use disorders as well as co-occurring disorders, Able To Change Recovery can offer personalized care to make sure individual needs are met and that every client feels supported and understood. This is a judgment-free zone and a safe space for healing.
Able To Change Recovery
Our trauma-informed approach to care prioritizes empathy and practical assistance.
We aim for long-term recovery in every area of life. With flexible treatment programs and a high staff-to-client ratio, this is where clients come to be seen, heard, and seamlessly guided through healing. The goal of treatment is not only to help facilitate sobriety or to cultivate coping strategies for sustained recovery, although those are hallmarks of the treatment experience. The real desired outcome is to help clients establish a safe and healthy baseline for a successful life.

Stories of Triumph and Healing
My experience at Clear Behavioral Health was amazing! Life changing. It really was first class. The staff was very professional and helpful. Everyone is super nice and friendly. They treat you with respect and kindness. Their integrity is of the highest level. I worked for Trader Joes for 28 years and we were proud of the quality of customer service we provided. I can for sure say that Clear Behavioral Health has the highest level of customer service. Ten stars for sure! It feels so wonderful to be on the receiving end.Thank you everyone for such a wonderful journey.
Mark Aguilar
ClientI am incredibly thankful for the exceptional work that Sheriff and his team delivered. They achieved a settlement that exceeded my expectations. the entire process was smooth, and Sheriff guided me every step of the way. Initially, I wasn't sure if I had a valid claim: I simply wanted to ensure that the employer was held accountable for their unfair treatment of employees. At the very least pick up the phone and have a conversation with Sheriff. He will happily and patiently educate you on the process.

Brooks Kaufman
ClientI attended this program right after my residential as a step down to continue my program. It was very beneficial in my recovery. The staff was responsive to my needs and respected my goals. I was given great feedback in how to do so. The sober living was clean and the people were respectful of the boundaries one sets for themselves. Taylor was awesome in working with my insurance and my need to move forward in my life.
Jessi Alva
ClientThis treatment center has all points covered. The therapy sessions were engaging and fun. My case manager offered insights to my dual diagnosis. The therapist was fantastic and will continue with Kim, she has 22 yrs of dealing with addiction. The house manager Lisa, was awesome and the house is more like a home. This isn't my first treatment center, its just the best I've ever experienced. If your truly serious about recovery this is the place for you. Thank you to the entire team at Able to Change. Thank you, Julie W

ClientMy time here at Able to Change has been an amazing experience. I've gained so much from all of the counselors and support staff. Its been truly a blessing to have had the opportunity to begin my recovery here. I've been given the tools, support and confidence I needed to have a truly successful recovery. I'd like to personally Thank Tommy for welcoming me in this program, and to Lisa my terrific house manager for making a truly happy home.
Janelle Z
ClientI was skeptical of rehabs when I came in to Able to Change but I'm leaving a believer. Everything that a good rehab should have is provided at able to change. You have access to 12 step meetings as well as a physician, psychiatrist and therapist. I felt a sense of family here that I have never felt before in my life. They truly want to see you thrive. My case manager successfully fought hard against my insurance company to get me as much time as I needed. Every house that I stayed in through Able to Change was clean and comfortable. I can't recommend this facility enough. If you are struggling with addiction don't hesitate to give Able to Change a call. My experience here is one of the best things to ever happen to me in my life.

ClientI am forever grateful for this program, when I came to Able to Change it was the 15th rehab i had checked into in 5 year. I felt lost, hopeless, and I really didn’t see a future for myself. This program provided me with the safe and clean living environment that I needed to heal. The counseling and therapy was beyond anything I had experienced in any other facility. The group counseling also provided in-depth knowledge on addiction and was very interactive. You can tell the staff at the facility as well as at the houses really care about the clients. I stayed here for 4 months this places saved me. Today I am happy and free. I would recommend this place to anyone struggling with addiction.
