How We Got Here and Why
How We Got Here and Why
In 1999, Saralyn Cohen was faced with a choice. As she watched her own family members continue to struggle with mental health and substance use disorders, despite previous attempts to overcome them, she knew there had to be another way—a better way.
She could continue to watch from the sidelines or commit to being part of a revolutionary change so needed in this industry. Saralyn set out to create a new, reenvisioned mental health and substance abuse treatment program. One that provides a cost-effective solution for the highest quality care that is in-network with insurance carriers to make recovery more accessible to those who need it most.
With an emphasis on restoring lives, rebuilding families, and improving communities, Able To Change Recovery is a beacon of hope and healing in the Southern California region. Our program maintains a standard of excellence with integrity, dignity, and premium care. Saralyn’s philosophy is that a person in recovery can live a worthwhile life. And that life starts here at Able To Change Recovery.
From founder and director to group therapists and admissions specialists, every staff member is deeply committed to the cause behind Able To Change Recovery: To help those in recovery restore balance and build a life worth living. Each provider has been hand-selected to ensure they’re a match for our community-focused and patient-centered culture.

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.

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.

ClientThis place is absolutely amazing! I’ve been sober now for almost 3 years and it’s largely due to A2C! If you’re ready to change your life, this is the place!

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.

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.

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.
