Located in scenic southern California San Diego's Freedom Ranch is an ideal setting for overcoming your addiction to drugs and alcohol.

The only problem with this facility is that they are only licensed to provide 56 beds meaning there is a 4-6 week waiting period at any given time.

Interviews from Woffy, Er
Why did you choose this facility?
Woffy: A friend While I was in George Baily told me about it.
Eric: It was recommended by a friend in recovery who had graduated the Freedom Ranch and had put together quite a bit of time in the program of AA

Tell us about the experience - was it positive or negative?
Woffy: positive would be an understatement It was freakin Kind as hell.
Eric: When I had been there 1999 to 2000, It was a very structured environment, with classes on the big book everyday. The teacher was Dave Saunders (I don't think he is there anymore). For me it was a very positive experince and helped me along on the road to recovery. Recovery can be a very difficult path to follow if you don't follow through.

Do you feel the program was successful?
Woffy: Yes very
Eric: Yes, at the time I felt It worked for me, but I chose to act on self will when I got back to San Diego, instead of taking the advise of the staff there. I should have gone to sober living, but like many of us who tend to think that we can take our will back again, the program only works if you continue to work it to the very best of your ability. It's a great place to build a foundation on your recovery. But don't treat it like some kind of summer camp while your getting out of prison. You're the one who will need to change who you are.

What advice would you give somebody considering going to this facility?
Woffy: If your an addict or alcoholic of any kind bad or small, preferably bad go to this place it will save your life if you want god to help, if not good luck anyway
Eric: Take some clothes, notify family where you will be. forget about your past associations, and go there to change your life. The odds are against you no matter where you go. If you think you got everything under control?...they have a bed waiting for you back in prison.
