Mission: The San Diego Freedom Ranch is an adult male 50 bed residential treatment facility for recovery from alcohol and substance abuse. It's located in Campo in the east San Diego County mountains. The Freedom Ranch utilizes the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, but is not in any way affiliated or associated with A.A. We are a 120 day program with daily group meetings based on the 12 Steps of A.A. We also have daily meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, discussion groups, peer group sessions, chores, and time for study. The Ranch is approved by and accepts referrals from the Veterans Administration, Volunteers Of America, Partners in Probation, Parolee Partnership Program, and the San Diego County court system. It can, in some cases, be an alternative to jail time. Our clients are offered assistance with medical testing, legal solutions, and referrals to recovery homes or sober living. Applicants are screened for suitability and, if they meet our criteria, are accepted for treatment for both alcohol and drug problems. We have daily A.A. meetings, and we also have optional Narcotics Anonymous meetings three times a week.

I arrived at the Freedom Ranch in May of 2014, I was a broken man, addicted to drugs and alcohol and unable to manage my own life. They transformed me into a good son, friend and man. I am a proud Rancher that will be taking 5 years clean and sober soon.
I arrived at The San Diego Freedom ranch in March 1993. I had never been to such a unique facility, despite years of unsuccessful attempts at sobriety. It was here I learned the importance of a relationship with a Higher Power, and the nuances of developing and maintaining that bond. As I reflect back on this journey, I am eternally grateful for the Freedom Ranch, it's staff, residents and even community members. They continually encouraged me and tempered me at every turn. If iron sharpens iron, ranchers strengthen ranchers! Freedom Ranch called on me throughout the years...for visits, sharing, and maintenance work. I remain in their debt for the life they guided me to, and will always answer their call for assistance and fellowship. It is rapidly approaching a quarter century of continuous sobriety for me...unthinkable when I first laid my head at the ranch. It is only by God's grace, and that blessed little plot of land called 'The Ranch", that I am able to write these words today. May God Bless you, and keep you... Don't leave before the miracle happens!
I've been a resident at the San Diego freedom ranch a couple times and I'm very happy with the staff and am great full for the experience. It is a social model program which was perfect for someone like me because I don't do well with behavior modification. So all in all iid say this place is a life saver. Thanks freedom ranch!!!!!!!
