Top-Rated Drug & Alcohol Rehab in Lancaster, CA

Absolutely love my time at DTC! Great staff, counselors, and lots of resources! Would highly recommend this place.

I have worked in various aspects of the substance abuse treatment industry since 2021. Not all treatment centers are alike, and I appreciate the challenge of trying to navigate this maze when almost all programs profess to have what you or your loved one needs. From my professional and lived experience, I confidently endorse this program. What would o do if it were my family? I have sent a loved one to Designs and can experientially say this family program is unmatched. Thank you, “Designs” team, for being one of the good ones.

“The counselors Josseph , Adam and Nick where exceptional! Upbeat, positive and factual. They’ve been in the grips of addiction themselves, Thanks!!! To the rest of the crew and around the clock counselors as well! Rudy, Consuelo, Tequilla, Ernesto, Emely, lantha, Vanessa, Tiffany, David(chef), Bobbie O (music magician! Khalil (Nutrition personal trainer), Sal. (Ant), Violet (Yoga), Walter and Ronnie (drivers)… Absolutely more than could ask for or expected!!”

“Design for Change Recovery is an outstanding recovery center. The founder and staff are some of the most knowledgeable people I know on the subjects of addiction and recovery. It is important for the families of addicted people to be educated and involved. Design for Change has three-day workshops for families about every six weeks and encourages family members to attend NarAnon meetings for support. Staff are always available to families to answer questions and concerns. My husband and I highly recommend Design for Change (DFC) for your loved one’s recovery from addicti...

“This was my first time in a outpatient program or any program for my alcoholism. I never thought I needed help with my drinking. But it got really bad and ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks going through detox. Then I couldn’t walk and had to go to physical therapy for awhile. Then I went to Dfc outpatient for a few months. I was very nervous at first, but the counselors and staff was amazing. What makes it special for me was getting sober with my wife. I would like to personally thank Tiffany, Rudy, Amy and the rest of the counselors. I really enjoyed it when Joe woul...

“When I arrived at DFC 2 months ago I never thought in a million years my life would change this much. I thought I was coming here to get off my DOC but this experience has been so much more. I feel like I’m becoming a whole person again and that my way of thinking is changing for the better. Shoutout to Nick, Adam, and Heather for making what could’ve been a grueling process fun and enjoyable. If you really want to change this is the place to be. I’ve never felt this supported and cared for in my life. Thanks DFC I owe you my life <3”

“If you are debating whether or not you should receive treatment let me make one thing easier for you, Design for Change is where to go. When I was afraid and didn’t know what to do I reached out and was connected with Georgie. She walked me through every step and was even there to greet me when I arrived. I was at Design for Change inpatient and outpatient for a total of nearly 8 months. The counselors, transportation and drivers, groups, rooms, and safety they provide is unmatched by any other treatment center. I not only felt safe my entire time in treatment but i felt...

“Design for change is the best recovery center ive been to! They helped me learn so much about myself and my addiction and have provided me with a safe space to grow as a human being mentally physically and spiritually Adam and Tiffani are the best counselors ive ever had and they treat me like a person instead of a patient they really care about us.

“I have been to several rehabilitation facilities over the course of my using career and none have been even remotely as effective as Design for Change. The staff here are knowledgeable, experienced, and most of all passionate. One of the most unique features of this recovery center is the fact that families are invited to participate in their loved ones’ recoveries. There is a very tight-knit recovery community at DFC and it feels more like an extended family than anything. I highly recommend anybody actively in a substance use cycle to contact Design for Change right aw...
