Steven T. Ginsburg

Restore Detox Center

Restore is a faith-based detox facility that welcomes the hurting, the lost, and the broken into a supportive, safe, and inspiring community. 

Driven by his long-standing faith in a God of second chances, Steven seeks to offer hope, community, and evidence-based treatment to those who feel like they’re fighting an unwinnable battle alone. 

Steven knows that struggle firsthand, and his own experiences with addiction give him a distinct humility and empathy that help him connect with clients in life-changing ways. 

Steven also founded CurePro and serves as a personal coach and aftercare specialist helping addicts turn their lives around. 

He regularly speaks to congregations, classrooms, leaders, and families, sharing his own story to inspire and embolden communities where addiction can wreak havoc. 

Through his willingness to be honest about where he’s been, Steven gives hope and shatters the destructive stigma  about addiction. 

“Christ came to free us from judgement, shame, and our sins,” he says, reflecting on the impact his faith has had on his willingness to speak openly about his own past struggles with addiction. 

With passionate conviction and the belief that redemption and grace are available to everyone—no matter how far gone they may feel they are—Steven is a force for healing and wholeness for those who need it most.

Steven says the added pressures of the pandemic and the isolation it caused have led to an “alarming increase” in Restore’s work. “We are all as sick as our secrets. It’s time to start leaning in, listening to, and providing safe spaces and solid on-ramps for people to seek help and see a life of sobriety and wholeness.”

Steven was born and raised in Highland Park, Illinois, and currently resides in North County San Diego, California, with his wife, Nicole, and their two children.
