Covenant Hills and the staff there changed my life…read more.. I hit my absolute rock bottom and lost everything. I needed a miracle to change my life and the direction it was heading in and God put this facility with its staff there to do just that! Intake: Ken is the one that worked with my family to really get the ball rolling and my beautiful journey started. He was nothing but kind and caring when I showed up for admission oh so broken. He made my intake experience that should have been miserable actually bearable and even a little fun which really brought a glimmer of hope to the beginning of the path. Drivers: Shoutout to the entire driver team. Riley is the one who picked me up and drove me in to in patient and gave me some really powerful words of encouragement. Joel always had me and the rest of the guys laughing and really lightened up my experience there while providing some really good wisdom as well. Darren and Sniper Jim were great drivers who conducted themselves very professional and executed any all tasks flawlessly while also bringing some laughs along the way. House Management: Man these guys were all so wonderful and such blessings to have for the day to day stuff. I want to shoutout Aaron, Andrew, Justin and Colby. Every single one of these dudes were there for me at various parts along the way and each one of them went above and beyond to help me out. These are exactly the dudes you want handling the houses when you're going through treatment! Case Managers: The entire case management team was unreal. Mike, Jeremiah and of course my case manager Matt. Mike was such a sweet and caring dude but very deep. His groups really brought some great introspective thinking. Very bright dude who is great to pull aside and run things by. Jeremiah was the man since day 0!! This dude actually took the time to give me a tour of the facility two months before I ultimately came in. He was super kind and genuine but could really bring the heat when we needed it. This is a man passionate about what he does and is in it to genuinely help turn guys lives around. Which he had a big part in doing just that for me! Matt... You're one heck of a case manager man. There were some pivotal points of my recovery where I wanted to just be done and leave but you managed to steer me in the right direction and really stand in my corner. You were nothing but phenomenal from the beginning. You were constantly proactive. Anytime I needed something you were likely already on it and if not you addressed it and got it handled immediately. From start to finish you set me up for success and I can't thank you enough for that! Pastoral Staff: Tom, Eric and Bob I love you guys and am so grateful for the ways in which you have all guided me spiritually. Each one of you are such brilliant, inspirational and strong men. God is surely looking down upon you three and so proud of the work you do in changing so many men's lives for good. Pastor Tom - There simply aren't words to describe the impact that this man has had on my life. He was there for me constantly through the highs and lows. This man would take his time to get to know each and every man personally and really support them to the max. You can see the Holy Spirit in this man and it shows in all that he does. I wouldn't be the man I am today if it wasn't for P.T. Pastor Eric was such a funny, loving and relatable guy. He always made Christian group so much fun and really knew how to make scripture so unbelievably relatable. He knew how to speak to each man's soul and really connect with them on another level (Believers or Not). Thanks for being such an integral part of my recovery! Pastor Bob is an absolutely brilliant man and a true testament of turning your life around. Bob held groups for everyone regardless of your faith or beliefs. He made everyone feel included and could answer just about everything so precisely and accurately it was absolutely astonishing. Thank you for always being there to answers my questions when I had doubts or would second guess myself or other things! ***About to hit character cap so see photos for the rest of my review.***

Covenant Hills is an amazing place. My qualifier spent 90 days doing in patient treatment. Covenant…read moreHills saved his life. This is the only program that involves the families. Mr. Ed, Aaron, Andrew, Joel, Jeremiah & Pastor Tom are only a few of the staff there that are really special people who literally save lives every day. The inclusion of God and Christianity is another life saving part of this program. The men take it upon themselves to include Bible studies and pray together and for each other. The men that were in program with my qualifier are still in touch with each other and truly mean a lot to our family. The other families and ours have become part of a larger family because as Mr. Ed says, "we heal in community." The importance of including families in treatment is the one thing that other programs are missing. Treating the disease of addiction/alcoholism should include families because we too are affected by the disease. And Mr. Ed has weekly family group meetings for families with qualifiers currently in patient and alumni families. These meetings are so important because he teaches and gives families opportunities to keep connecting and learning. We, as family members are also able to share our experiences, our strengths and our hope. Through this program we have learned so much and have made it a part of our daily lives. I wrote this to Mr. Ed and I'll share a lil bit here: Doing the 3Gs and Daily Readings every morning brings so much clarity, calm & routine to our lives. Program and having the tools you gave us has really changed our lives, our marriage and our family. Thank u, Mr. Ed. Xoxo

My son just finished his 30 days at Socal Sunrise. This was a life-changing event for him. I…read morecouldn't be more grateful to Andrew and the staff for the care they took of my son. There was always an open door policy, if my son had a moment where he was overwhelmed, he always had someone to speak to. He was encouraged every step of the way. If my son had a rough day, he shared with me that he would go to the various staff members, and they would really be able to work with him and get him refocused on his mental health recovery journey. We would visit my son on Sundays and you could see the genuine care and concern that the staff had for the residents. The therapists were great as well, and the psychiatrist was able to get my son to a more stable place than we have been in so long. Thank you, SoCal sunrise for everything you've done for my son and our family. Having this kind of support for him and us during this time is a debt that I will never be able to repay. If you are a family member are in need of this type of program, highly highly recommend!

***5 STAR ACCOUNTABILITY STRUCTURE*** ***5 STAR SOBER…read moreLIVING*** ***5 STAR HOMES*** ***5 STAR STAFF*** Over the past four years I've had the pleasure of "rehab hopping" five times, living in more than a few sober livings, and living in and out of homeless shelters/detoxes. Serenity is, and was, a God send! Never have I lived in a home ran so effectively! There homes are truly outstanding! Clean and organized, yet relaxed and not far from the beach! I truly appreciate everything that was done for me here while I put the pieces of my broken life back together. It's interesting getting off a greyhound bus coming in from another state. You never really know what to expect. All I can say is that my expectations were blown away! I was in one of there homes in San Juan! Such an awesome neighborhood, especially considering I didn't have wheels to start off, the grocery stores, banks, recovery meetings, ect; are no more than a forty five seconds walk! Great location; and then when I got a car after a few months of working my butt off thebeach was less than ten minutes away! The house was spacious, and organized. The opposite of what I had come to expect a sober living to be. There were two live in house manager so staff was on property 24/7. Not like alot of these places that are like "as long as you pay your rent do what you want." The accountability structure and rules were exactly what I needed! And when I eventually broke a rules here and there I was sat down and spoken to like an adult. Never wad I criticised or looked down upon. I was given the room to grow and the guidance to grow upward. I could honestly go on for hours, but I guess I'll just leave it at that. Shout out to the owners for actually caring about the clients! Shout out to the staff for being awesome!

I've now been to multiple structured sober living homes. This was the worst. Yes it's a beautiful…read morehouse, in an awesome location. VERY CLEAN. Kelly jo does a great job of making sure the clients are clean. But when it comes to early recovery management style of your sober environment is everything so I would highly advise staying away from serenity. I'm not just speaking off of one bad experience, each girl I lived with had some sort of issue with the way she ran the house. There are petty complaints that anyone can have and that's not what I'm talking about. In the program they teach us to keep personal inventory. Kj makes sure to do that for you, aside from her other job she is always home, with nothing better to do than to micromanage the house, which is not only exhausting on her side but exhausting from a clients perspective as well. Waking up and making your bed is one thing but walking on egg shells constantly is another. It's mentally draining being at the serenity house due to always having the manager nit pick your every wrong move. As someone who was going to IOP From 9AM- noon then working full time from 1-9pm every night, I was barely home and doing something to attempt to better my life. Occasionally would be in a rush from IOP to work and for example would leave a cup on the counter, normally a house manager might cut someone with such a busy schedule a break. Not this house you'll get a write up for every little thing you leave out, and the write ups add to a behavioral contract, where you're even more micro managed. A strict behavioral contract where on top of my busy work and IOP schedule I was to attend 5 outside meetings, without means of transportation, or the time to do so sense the behavioral contract made my curfew 9pm. An impossible contract leading to discharge. It doesn't matter if you complain to the owner of serenity either because this house manager is dating him. She takes her authorities position to the next level and an environment that should be more peaceful became a dictatorship.

People traveling from out of state can trust that there not arriving to any "surprises" or details left out during the admissions process. I've worked in the field of helping people get sober and rebuild their lives for over 5 years. The staff at Dana Point Rehab Campus create a safe, comfortable , and family like environment for every client.

The skills and knowledge I've received here have helped me better cope with anxiety, depression, and learn how to improve my relationships. Rachel at the front, keeps the place together and encourages like no other. Matthew sets the bar as an incredible case manager and facilitator. When speaking with him I felt seen and understood during a challenging time. And I've seen how the groups he leads with transformative practices has made powerful waves in how my peers and I tackle our challenges. Lena is a wonderful CM who embraced me as I am and helped me see a whole new world of possibility, at my own pace, as well as offering deep insights when facilitating our groups. And Dr.Turner has been a wise wizard offering support with tailored medication, speaking to me as an individual, and offering timely guidance. There's a list of more wonderful people here, like Ashly and her sound meditations, and Sapna with her artful activities for making breakthroughs. Jamie also sets a safe space that helps groups open up and process. The environment is welcoming too, which makes the experience less daunting, as well as the intake process with Aljan. The insurance and paperwork process is handled efficiently too. The care and wisdom shared within this facility has greatly influenced my sense of safety and helped me better my life. There's the family we start with, and the family we make along the way, and I will be forever grateful for all the people I've met here. All that to say, I definitely recommend them. Wishing you courage on your journey.

Gilbert and Maria are some of the most inspirational leaders I've ever met, and are clearly extremely devoted and passionate about the work that they do.

It was magical, being both detoxifying and spiritual - I am definitely going to continue attending when I'm an alumni! A low light was the amount of time it takes to get medication in the morning and evening. It would consistently take anywhere from 10-30 min just to get meds - they definitely need to figure out a more efficient process. Overall, this place is awesome!
