"Larry Fritzlan and his Adolescent Recovery Services Program have been the cornerstone for my son's recovery from addiction to marijuana. Larry has been a mentor to my son, teaching him how to lead a productive and happy, sober life. He became the strong male role model that was missing in my son's life.

"Larry helped me to see how my role as a parent contributed to my son's addictions and coached me to set reasonable boundaries and be more effective in my parenting skills.

"I am forever grateful for what Larry and Larry Fritzlan Recovery Services have done to help us become a healthy family made up of healthy individuals. If we hadn't found Larry's program, my son would have been sent away to a lock-down therapeutic boarding school because I had run out of options. Thankfully that was not the case."

"Larry Fritzlan Recovery Services has a unique approach to 'raising the bottom' with substance abusing adolescents and their families; they're not afraid to hold parents accountable to set clear limits and consequences for their acting-out teens. Larry is passionate about getting teenagers assessed for abuse and dependency on all life-shortening substances, including nicotine. He draws a hard line about 'experimentation' vs. abuse, and is masterful at involving multiple support systems to fortify overwhelmed parents (i.e., Juvenile Probation, police and Twelve Step programs). His mission is to help kids get back on track developmentally, so they can continue their maturational process unimpaired. Because of Larry's tireless work in this field, there are many kids in Marin County who won't have to lose years of their lives to chemical dependency."
