Can We Cure Addiction?
"Can we cure addiction? Absolutely not! This is because addiction has caused unrecoverable changes, alterations and death to brain cells. Brain cells cannot be regenerated, so the changes caused by the drug abuser are permanent. What we can do is arrest the illness, teach new living techniques, rewrite the brain to bypass those addicted cells and give the addict in recovery a worthwhile life. It can't be cured but addiction can be effectively prevented and treated."
Darryl Inaba, Pharm.D.
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAMS
The life-long journey in recovery starts when an addict finally admits and accepts her or his addiction as life-long and surrenders to the long-term, one-day-at-a-time treatment process.
OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS
Continued participation in group, family, and 12-step programs is the key to maintaining long-term abstinence from alcohol and drugs. The addict must accept that addiction is chronic, progressive, incurable, and potentially fatal and that relapse is always possible.
"I know that I have another relapse in me. I don't know if I have another recovery in me."

Judy Carr
Judy has been with Saralyn Cohen and Able to Change Recovery since its earliest days; she has been involved in all the changes. She ensures that the women seeking treatment at Able to Change Recovery are exposed to a safe and comforting environment. Her caring and compassion approach has an amazing way of mending broken souls and giving the feeling of hope that our women so desperately need to guide them through their emotional ups and downs during their first 30 days of treatment. Having traveled that lonely road herself, Judy knows all too well, what it means to have someone who believes in you.
And, of course, it is not surprising that, during the graduation ceremonies, it is usually Judy that the women have the hardest time saying good-by to; it almost always ends in tears. Our women seem to become very attached to Judy, maybe for a short time she becomes “Mom”, “Sister”, or “Friend”, hard to say, but she possess an amazing ability to bond with our women and provide them with the love and care they need to begin their life-long journey in recovery.
Judy enjoys working out, going to the beach, camping, and being with her fiancée and family. When you meet her, be prepared to meet “Rosco” her Old English Bulldogge and “Baby” her precious cat. They are the love of her life!
