I am writing this with complete disdain for Breakaway and it's clinical team who pretend to care and befriend you when you arrive. The credo for drug and alcohol treatment or mental health or whatever it be is DO NO HARM. Majority of not all of us come in to treatment beaten and broken and unable to trust anyone and we put our trust into people who offer their hands to help us and we confide in them for mental and moral support. Let me tell you. For someone like myself who has had a lot of trauma growing up leading into my adulthood from physical, sexual and mental, emotional abuse growing up to traumatic toxic relationships from terrible woman. Coming into a place without much trust in men and woman who aren't close to my heart. Gaining that trust back has been a difficult thing for me over the years. Breakaway has put me into a severe emotional state where I have regressed even further into my trauma. I cannot trust anyone now. Within the first week we were already pulled into an office with 5 people surrounding us telling us that we were too happy together and we are exhibiting public displays of affection and they have been monitoring us holding hands and it's harmful to other clients. Mind you this is an outpatient php program that accepts couples and house them together in the same room. We were just minding our business participating in everything going on. This was the beginning of a very bad experience. Over the next couple of weeks they pulled us aside and continued to influence a split between us. Watching everything we do. they setup video and voice surveillance inside the residence where we lived and slept, would watch and listen to our conversations getting involved in our personal relationship together inside and out the center. They manipulated us with fear of separation and intimidation to the point where we felt extremely uncomfortable and worried they would remove us from the program. They ran trauma bonding classes 3 weeks in a row in an attempt to convince my fiance that I was abusing her. It bothered me so much I had to leave the room. my wife told me they stated that the abusers disguise themselves as tall handsome white guys with tattoos all over they're face and body as soon as I walked out. This happened almost everyday we were there. That wasn't the only time something like that was said. I could not have a general conversation with my fiance without them Intervening and asking if everything was alright and if it was okay if she had the conversation with me. There was other couples there. We didn't go there for relationship counseling. It was an option if and only if we wanted it. We never asked for advice or asked them for an intervention on us. We just wanted help with individual trauma. Be careful if you enter as a couple. You may not leave as one. They made sure to manipulate us and play games with our heads. Coming to me directly and telling me they are stopping the intervention. What the f? In my personal therapy session we Never delved into my trauma. It was strictly only about my relationship. Which again, we went to work on our individual trauma. Based off my appearance they were intimidated by me because I kept to myself and I'm quiet. In the session the therapist asked me why I am there. I told him I'm there to get help with my trauma and fill in the pieces of my already insightful understanding. He told me he didn't know how to help me or that he didn't understand how he could help me since I already had a clear idea of my own understanding on how I need to fix my life. What was I doing there? That didn't seem right to me. He wanted me to trust him but just asked me what am I doing there and that he didn't know how to help me. They share all information personal/private amongst each other. This program lacks morale. All kinds of ethical violations. staff having sexual a relationships with former client. Manipulation. Emotional and mental abuse. Abuse of power and questioning our personal lives on a daily basis. Outside of treatment. I'm now suffering from more trauma due to emotional distress mental abuse from people in authority and people who are supposed to help fix your trauma. I can't trust anyone now. Especially therapists or drug treatment counselors. I hear everything they are doing and it upsets me because they did it to me. To us. While we were there. The only difference is now she sees what they are doing and because she has an open CPS case which they know about and use against her. They're black mailing her. she lives in fear of losing her kids if she doesn't do what they ask. There is much more I want to say and many other situations that have taken place in my 42 day stay at breakaway. I tried to keep this as short as possible limiting the details to give some insight as to exactly what to expect when you get there. I have asked for this treatment center to be looked upon by CCAAP, the County of Orange, the BBB, and California Accreditation. read more

break away could very well be the biggest joke of a treatment center I have ever heard of. they do not help their clients with food cards like most do. they charge you rent while being in their care. and if unable to work or pay they then ask for your bennifits. snap/GA the counselors help you get the stamps and general relief which is illegal. the houses are a mess and house managers do not turn the ac on until.late at night. the only positive thing I have seen and heard. is the Dr's their. they have jeff doughtery running their operations. who is a known body broker here in the state of California. do not send your family or friends here!!!!​ read more

I can't thank breakaway enough for how much they helped me change my life in a complete turn around I was programming at breakaway and graduated the program thanks to the staff putting up with me that a whole time that was a task in itself especially my case manager Sarah I can't thank her enough still for all the bs I put her through but yet breakaway never gave up on me I went from living in a tent under a bridge in San Bernardino to living like a normal day to day human being in OC I have had the same job for 2yrs I have a apartment I have 2 cars I can say breakaway played a big roll in this transformation not only did they put up with me but also my fiancé that I am still with now even we thought we couldn't make it this far but we're still together sober and happy. Thank you Breakaway. Angel and Lisette the crazy couple lol. read more

This program saved my son's life. I finally have my son back. Sarah has been amazing. I have called her at all hours of the day and she answers me with such loving and caring replies. What i thought was going to be a couple of weeks turned out to be 5 months. Much needed for my son. Sarah has been so carrying and has guide me to deal with some tough situations. My experience has been great. I also want t thank Scott the house manager. He was put thru the ringer with my son. Yet kept his cool and would communicate with me. I want to give Kudos to both Sarah and Scott. Please reach out to them if you have a loved one in need. read more

I was broken and lost before coming to Breakaway Health. They helped me find healing and find myself again. My Therapist and Caseworker were completely amazing. This is the first treatment center that I have been to where they really help you. My Therapist helped me heal while my Caseworker helped me get back on my feet. So if you are serious about recovery I would recommend this program. read more

There can come a time in one's life when your out of options with no where to turn. When the place you are in is so dark the shadows won't even find you. I was in that place when I came to Breakaway health. I was jobless, friendless, hopeless, penniless, homeless, and so far down a rabbit hole I could not see the light of day. I couldn't even remember what it was like to feel joy or happiness. That was me. The team at this place was unbelievable! The love that I felt at this place was unreal and I thought had left this earth, Melissa (my case worker) so positive with an iron will refused to let me do things my own way anymore, which was something I needed so badly. Big Joe what an unbelievable human being, he should me a better way of living, Scott always had an answer to anything I was dealing with and last but not least Chris who I will consider a life long friend gave me encouragement and love. This isn't just a place to recover this is a place of new beginning and hope. If you are considering going here there is nothing to consider! Do it and make the change like I did. My life is amazing now and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Breakaway for everything! read more

I was a client at breakaway for 5 months. Their counselors and therapists made it possible for me to stay and get the true help I needed. I didn't feel alone or unheard. I was treated like gold. Their advice was spot on and is useful in my recovery today. If you have or you have loved one that needs help have them go to break away it will not be a regret. read more

I went to Breakaway Health Center in 2016 & wasn't very impressed. It's a very young crowd whose patients drop out of the program like flies. This might explain their unscrupulous billing practices. Their failure to be transparent up front on what the charges are & extremely questionable billing practices are something someone needs to be on the lookout. Its was really pathetic the way they tried to push medication & medical implants on you & only to realize they were trying to Increase their billing. I ended up going to a more professional treatment center & it worked out great for me. In the meantime, I will fight a collection of $8100 for services that weren't rendered. This place is all about the money. Best of luck out there & watch yourself. read more

When my son started there, he was out of control, violent, ran away often and had issues with drugs and alcohol. He did not care about anything and I was afraid I had lost my son forever. He has been drug and alcohol free for two years now. He is confident and I am extremely proud of my son. This program focuses on helping you become a better person. Helps you and your family see where the break in trust is and how to be a healthy family and deal with the issues BEHIND the drug/alcohol abuse. The kids may struggle with the addiction from time to time but because of the character they build and the tools they learn to deal with life, they succeed. If the family and child get through the program and graduate, the change in the child and the family members who use breakaway are different in so many ways. It is truly a night and day difference. I HIGHLY recommend this place... read more

This program saved my daughters life. They gave me my daughter back. It was a lot of work and worth it. My daughter not only dealt with behavioral issues but while there was able to not only get caught up with high school but graduated early & graduated from the program. She made some great friends that she is still friends with and changed the trajectory or her life. I can't speak highly enough of this program. read more

The realization that your child,or in my case young adult,has a addition problem,dose not come easy.The decision to seek help is daunting.We had to get help.He was totally out of control,his addiction had taken control the loving person we knew.I have never written a review before ,but I have never felt the powerlessness and fear that happens when your child seems so lost.Our experience with Breakaway was great,they treat the whole family,the staff is amazing!!I hope this review will help another family get back the child they feel is out of their reach. read more
