Tradition One

Specialties

Established in the fall of 1971, Tradition One of San Diego County is a residential program licensed and certified by the State of California, serving up to 44 adult men at a time. We maintain and operate a campus dedicated to the rehabilitation of persons in the continuing process of recovery from alcoholism and other drug addictions. It is a six month program, the average age of our participants is 37 years and 87% are homeless. Our residents work towards developing themselves back into the community as contributing members of society. As a non-​profit, community-​based agency, a majority of program services and operations are provided with local city, county, and state funding. Although competitive funding market has the power to influence a revolving mission statement or continuously alternate the target population being served, Tradition One has remained dedicated to a community-​based philosophy of social model care since 1971. Our Mission is to create and nurture a tranquil environment in order that participants may focus on recovery and comfortably use the tools in order to make responsible, sound decisions. The phases of the program depend upon the strength and willingness of the participants. We give them a learning structure and tools to attain common goals for themselves, and everyone involved in this recovery program.
