Baja Rehab Team

Exceptional Addiction Center for Men & Women in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico

Baja Rehab is a High-end, efficient drug & alcohol treatment center established just South of the San Diego border. One of a kind, we base our 12-step influenced program on sober camaraderie, mental health care, shared stories, families, personal experiences, healthy relationships & thrilling activities that introduce a new way of living.

Our goal is to get to the source of the problem that intensifies the reaction. In addition to providing breathtaking views on a comfortable elite 2-acre hacienda in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, we strive to create genuine and personal relations with our patients and their families so that maintaining a new sober way of life can be achieved.

The journey begins when making a choice; leaving current ideals behind, trusting in something bigger & creating a new way of thinking. We hold a responsibility to build new perspectives; to change every unhealthy thing the client was doing and instill pathways to accountability.

Baja Rehab provides patients with top-of-the-line, comfortable full medical detox and dual  diagnosis. Many patients struggle with mental disorders and drug and alcohol problems. More often than not, these conditions occur together simultaneously. Thereafter, detoxification, psychiatry, and therapy will be critical alongside our calm, fun, intensive 3-6+ month 12 step AA/NA-based lockdown residential treatment program.

Lockdown is the most incredible opportunity that Baja Rehab has to legally offer patients and their families. For anybody who is serious about making a commitment to their personal recovery, it is an intimate and life-changing decision. Unfortunately, it is also a decision that some cannot and will not make for themselves. The family now has this opportunity, and the right, to make the decision on that person’s behalf. What a miracle it is, to get your loved ones’ help and save them from possible overdose or death, instead of standing by to watch them kill themselves.

Advantages To A Conservatorship

We take pride in giving the family the option to hold the responsibility of the client. When you check your loved one in, you will be the only one allowed to check them out. Many individuals are not ready to stop; some want to stop, but won’t because they are physically dependent on the substance, unwilling, or not in the right state of mind to make decisions. The lockdown process puts an immediate halt on the addicted individual’s choice to keep using when they are not well enough to make good choices for themselves anymore.

This unique approach along with affordable high-end & efficient clinical care separates us from American institutions. Unfortunately, laws in the United States don’t allow for the lockdown of individuals unless they are only at suicidal risk. The patient is allowed to leave at will from most institutions and run the risk of relapse when their brain isn’t fully healed yet. Post-acute withdrawal is still taking place in the first 30–60 days of sobriety, sometimes longer; and although the tolerance level is gone after sufficient time, it may also cause a higher percentage of overdose death rates as many individuals leave treatment too soon. The longer the sobriety and emotional time to recover, the higher the chance of full recovery and continued sobriety.

With full schedules including psychological evaluation and one-on-ones, medication monitoring, group and individual therapy, family counseling, creative therapy, and motivating physical activities; we are focused on removing the patient from their dysfunctional environment by providing a safe and serene place to recover. The patient will not check out until the family advisor has agreed upon a discharge date with supervising staff throughout the process, and at the end of a 3–6 months, sometimes longer stay, depending on the unique circumstance of the individual. This will guarantee the client 90+ days sober without interruption.

In some cases, continued care at Baja Rehab may be necessary, but in most cases, plans for aftercare, sober living, and or outpatient programs in San Diego will be advised for continued care. We will continue therapy with the families and patients after check out on a routine scheduled maintenance basis.

Expert Clinical Treatment South of the Border Provided by our Owners

Care at Baja Rehab is personalized, efficient, and focused. Founders Adam Lincoln, Jessica Shrader, and Ricardo Vega have implemented the most personal and therapeutic processes while achieving activities they have modeled based on years of recovery at the best treatment centers in the U.S. and in Mexico. The result is fully English speaking, high-end, expert clinical treatment of addiction that rivals the best centers in the world at a fraction of the cost. For that reason, we are a preferred destination for people who know someone who needs help, or who has experienced a relapse; so they can get their life back in an affordable, extremely effective, and top-of-the-line program of recovery. Many have experienced a friend, a family member, or even themselves, in a situation where they needed help and didn’t get that help with the thought of high-cost private clinics, no insurance, client walking out or low-grade government-funded rehab centers in the worst of conditions. We’ve changed all that!

Holistic Treatment of the Client

It’s not enough to merely “stop using.” That’s just the beginning. The recovering individual needs to address the past and the underlying issues that can overwhelm them and may complicate their ongoing recovery. Our comprehensive, behavioral modification program combines recovery education, psychotherapy, and medical case management with holistic services such as yoga and meditation. At Baja Rehab, the introduction of our clients to our high-end 12-step program allows them to build a strong foundation for long-term recovery and rediscover a life filled with health and peace.

Our Location

With only 1-hour drive (with no traffic) from the San Ysidro border, Baja Rehab, the high-end oceanfront rehab center, is a few minutes from the famous Puerto Nuevo, the lobster spot.
