Leading Ventura County Detox & Rehab Center

Program Director

Lindsay Jostmeyer

My name is Lindsay Jostmeyer, and I have lived through the depths of addiction and fought my way out through continued work, accountability, and dedication to my personal recovery. My journey was not easy, but it shaped who I am today and gave my life purpose beyond survival.

Recovery allowed me to rebuild what addiction once took from me — my family, my sense of self, and my future. Through sobriety, I was able to pursue my education, build a meaningful career, and experience true freedom from active addiction. These things did not happen overnight; they came from daily commitment, humility, and the willingness to ask for help.

Today, I use my lived experience to help others find the same hope and stability that recovery gave me. I am deeply passionate about walking alongside individuals who feel trapped, broken, or hopeless and showing them that change is possible. My goal is to help others reclaim their lives, rebuild relationships, and create a future grounded in purpose, connection, and freedom.

Case Manager

Tori Dodson

My name is Tori, and I am the Case Manager at Altitude Recovery. My life’s goal is to support individuals struggling with addiction by treating them with the love, compassion, and respect they deserve as they work toward long-term sobriety. I understand how critical this journey is because I am in recovery myself and have firsthand experience battling this disease. I strive to meet clients where they are, walk alongside them through the darkness, and help them rediscover hope and find the light.

Primary Therapist

Joseph, LCS

Joseph is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained at New Mexico State University’s Graduate School of Social Work. He utilizes a wide range of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. After having worked for over a decade in the culinary field, he began his clinical work as a residential mental health and substance abuse counselor with Catholic Charities in New York, while pursuing his first Master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling at Fordham University in the Bronx. After that, he worked at an inpatient mental health and substance use facility in Las Cruces, New Mexico, supporting predominantly unhoused and underserved individuals facing addiction and acute mental health challenges before moving to a similar outpatient facility in Scottsdale, Arizona as an IOP therapist. Joseph then spent three years working in a county correctional facility in Arizona, working with diverse populations and helping clients navigate addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement and trauma, as well as developing life skills throughout the rehabilitation process. 

Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Joseph spent his late adolescent and early adult years in the San Fernando and Conejo Valleys and has devoted his time working in the fields of mental health and substance use toward the empowerment of clients and helping them to understand their self-worth and to develop a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. Outside of his clinical work, Joseph enjoys spending time with his wife and family, playing ice hockey, watching baseball and cooking.
