Looking for a place for a fresh start?
Southern California may be the place for you.
Away from the crowds of Los Angeles, and from the real estate bubble of the Silicon Valley, San Diego is a gem.
Palm trees, surfing beaches, mild weather.

It is right next to the most important border in the world.
San Diego is home to a science based rehab center called La Jolla Recovery.

Detox from Hell? Detox. From drugs or alcohol. Easier said than done. Coming off alcohol or drugs such as opiates, heroin or even fentanyl, can be mortal. Yes. Death. Some detox centers state the country has it all wrong. And that’s where we step up. Providing quality staff and professionals such as doctors as well as the right medications can…
One more great artist. Lost. To addiction. And we wonder what we will hear about Linkin Park. The depression. The dark side. The music to give it one last sell. Or will it be discussing drugs, alcohol and hopefully the opportunities to not have this happen again. What about the management, labels and studios? How are they involved? Did they…

What makes communities safer? Incarceration or drug rehabilitation? As we prepare to see the impacts of Jeff Session’s mandatory minimums of drug cases, we look back on the 80’s drug war and the apparent reduced crime rate.
