Testimonials

Highly Trusted by Customers

"Ira did a great job of understanding my family's situation and helped us run an intervention for my father. He coached me and my family on the tone to take when speaking during the intervention. He made us all feel comfortable by sharing his own personal story first. He has a wealth of experience in the field of interventions and coaching people through their sobriety. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to help a family member get sober."

James, Los Angeles

"Ira is a seasoned veteran in the world of recovery, and I highly recommend his services. He is experienced, kind, attentive, and thoughtful about his work guiding and helping clients and their families in crisis. He has special talents for identifying essential services and resources, when the recovery process can be complex and overwhelming. He is also uniquely able to shepherd clients and their families to a place of healing, wholeness, and greater potentiality."

Lynne Bidwell, LMFT

"Through a friend I made contact with Ira for recovery options and emergency tactics to save my son, who was struggling with chemical abuse. Ira showed us a course of action that has proved to be a wonderful solution for our son. I trusted Ira from knowing his recovery experience and believing and seeing that this is a man who walks the walk as well as talks the talk. He has always shown great kindness and an attentive ear to me. I will be eternally grateful for the insight, professional expertise and timely action he showed in bringing our son into his recovery journey"

Tory, Los Angeles

"I found Ira through Betty Ford, and thankful I did. Ira helped launch my son into a better place. My son has been doing much better than I would’ve ever anticipated. Between Ira's advice, love and compassion, I’ve gotten a new perspective on how to deal with an addict. Love, self-care and compassion have been the key. The demon has not appeared in quite some time. He has been off hard drugs fir a month and using a very low dose of Suboxone if any. My son is now the nice son that I knew again. Thanks to Ira jump starting this change."

Julie, Los Angeles

"I have worked in collaboration with Ira on many cases over the years, and I can highly recommend him as a recovery coach and interventionist. Ira is very skilled at supporting clients and their families on their road to recovery and connecting them with the best resource options for their needs. His approach is warm, caring, and compassionate and he has a real gift for helping even the most resistant clients find a path toward recovery. Ira goes above and beyond for his clients and truly approaches all of his work as a genuine act of service."

Dr Diana Ali, Phd

"Ira has an incredible ability to guide people in a positive way, helping them fall in love with the 12-step program. Just as the person writing this testimonial did when they first got sober, Ira opens the door for newcomers to experience the miracle of AA and supports them along their path. His personal 180-degree transformation is a testament to the power of the program, and he stands as a true inspiration and a force for good. Ira’s example of positive change is remarkable, and his kindness makes him a true mensch."

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What does The Recovery Lane actually do?

The Recovery Lane helps individuals and families navigate addiction and complex mental health challenges at any point in the recovery journey. We provide hands-on support to stabilize situations, coordinate care, and help recovery translate into real daily life—especially during crisis, transition, and after treatment ends.

What kind of support do you provide day to day?

Support can include care coordination, medication oversight, companion support, routine-building, fitness and nutrition guidance, organizing daily life, attending meetings, rebuilding relationships, and helping clients re-enter the world with support instead of pressure. Every plan is individualized.

Can you help if our family is in crisis right now?

Yes. Families often reach out when life feels unmanageable and fear is high. We help slow things down, assess what’s needed, and guide next steps—whether that means immediate stabilization, placement into a psychiatric or inpatient setting, or building support in real time.

How are you different from a treatment center or therapist?

We don’t replace treatment or clinical care. We stay involved across gaps—before, during, and after formal programs—so recovery doesn’t collapse when structured environments end. Our role is coordination, advocacy, integration, and ongoing presence in real life.

Do you only work with people after treatment or rehab?

No. Many families come to us before treatment, when they don’t know what kind of help is needed or where to start. Others come during treatment, at discharge, or long after formal programs end. We meet people where they are and help determine the right next step

Do you replace clinical teams or case management?

No. We work alongside clinicians, treatment centers, and providers. Our role is to coordinate, support, and integrate care into daily living—complementing, not duplicating, clinical services.

When do you typically get involved with a client?

We may be involved pre-admission, during treatment, at discharge, or post-treatment. Some clients are referred by institutions; others come to us first. When institutions are part of the path, we stay engaged throughout to reduce fragmentation.

What outcomes does The Recovery Lane focus on?

We ask for 24-hour notice for any rescheduling. Missed or late-cancelled sessions may be charged depending on your plan.

How does The Recovery Lane fit into the continuum of care?

The Recovery Lane extends care beyond institutional settings by providing real-world recovery integration and long-term support. We help ensure continuity before admission, during treatment, and after discharge—bridging treatment into daily life.

How do you support families during treatment and discharge planning?

We work closely with families to help them understand what’s happening, communicate effectively, and support recovery without burnout. We often serve as a steady point of contact during transitions, ensuring clarity, alignment, and follow-through after discharge.
