This has been one of the best alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs I’ve attended throughout my 16 years of trying to get sober. With the help, support, and guidance of this program, I have now achieved 5 months sober, one day at a time. The program has helped me slowly and successfully integrate back into the real world while giving me the tools and support I need to continue my recovery. I would wholeheartedly recommend this facility to anyone I love or care about who is struggling with addiction. Marisa was my therapist, and she has continued to help me tremendously week after week. Her guidance, understanding, and support have meant so much to me throughout this process. Charisse, Raff, and Shannon were also incredibly helpful, caring, and supportive. Not only are the facility and therapists amazing, but the housing through New Jersey Sober Living was also tremendously accommodating. Any housing concerns I had were addressed immediately, which gave me an additional sense of stability and comfort during my recovery. I especially want to recognize Oscar, the Housing Director. He truly goes above and beyond and seems to work 24/7 to make sure everyone feels comfortable, safe, and at home. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Oscar. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the people in the program and makes every effort to ensure everyone’s housing needs and concerns are taken care of. I’m incredibly grateful for the support I’ve received from everyone involved. Five months sober is something I’m very proud of, and I truly believe this program and the people who work here have played a huge part in helping me get to where I am today. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way.

I can’t say enough good things about the detox unit at Huntington Beach Recovery Center. My cousin had been struggling with drug and alcohol abuse for years until he found this place by the grace of God. The level of care they provide is truly outstanding. Their clients receive around-the-clock medical supervision from a team that is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely empathetic and compassionate. Truly impressive! As a recovering alcoholic, I know detox can be one of the most difficult and vulnerable parts of beginning the recovery process, and having a staff that makes people feel safe, respected, and cared for can make all the difference. My cousin just raves about the team at Huntington Beach Recovery Center and how they went above and beyond to provide such top-notch care and support for him throughout his entire detox process. I would highly recommend Huntington Beach Recovery Center to anyone looking for a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment to begin their journey toward recovery.

I went to this program last year. I was not an ideal patient. I was very angry and emotional in general. I had a lot of trauma and mental health issues that needed to be worked on which my clinician helped me work through. Danielle, the program director, was amazing and really helped me out during some pretty dark days for me there. I appreciate all that you guys do and I'm really grateful for all your help. God bless you guys
