You say you'll stay for 30, they say you need to stay for 60. While the longer you remain in a CREDIBLE patient-based (usually under the care of a hospital with doctor overseeing the program) the greater chance of staying sober, BUT if you stay 60, they push for 90. God forbid you announce after 17 days that you will be leaving in 30, the staff becomes very passive aggressive and vascillates between trying to threaten clients with relapse and ignoring them altogether. The staff has ZERO accreditations other than being in recovery themselves. HIPPA and privacy is completely ignored, and have no medical background whatsoever. They do not treat the clients with any compassion or respect, unless you/your family has money. There were three people out of 65 who were solely there for alcohol (no cross-addiction). They were handed The Big Book and that was it. Those with eating disorders, methamphetamine, or pill addictions had separate groups for counseling daily. Those three never had any sessions where they were able to discuss their addiction or were given any help. The entire group went to AA speaker meetings 7 days a week, but never got delve into their own issues. Kathleen made a point to dress down the entire group over unhappy staff and actually said, "We DO NOT CARE how you got here. We don't care about your past. Stop whining and listen to your counselors, they have heard every lie and excuse coming out of you and know you better than you know yourself!" Sobriety 101, addiction is a symptom of the problem that brought them to rehab. There was absolutely no communication with family members, which is essential as it is a family disease. One person who completed their treatment after 90 days, was back the very next day as they relapsed that night. They had something called Family Week, that only those who had been at the facility for at least 90 days MIGHT be able to attend, but it was months away. Family members were encouraged to take an entire week off of work and pay for a week's stay at a hotel where they held it. Some of these people's loved ones spent every last dime to keep them there and could not take off work for a day, let alone an entire week. Kathleen's "special talent" is to single out a client and proceed to rip them apart in front of their peers (and was said to do this at Family Week repeatedly over the course of the week). Nothing she said was in the vein of healing. It was 45 minutes of verbal abuse that left people completely traumatized. MacKenzie Phillips wasn't an active member of the program, she just wandered the halls, if she was there at all. Breathe has a lot of glossy pictures and empty promises (equine therapy...there was none, a swimming pool...clients were not allowed to use it, trips to the beach...nope, too much liability). The founder bought up all but two houses on a street in Laurel Canyon (you do the math) and it looks great on their website, but that's it. It is NOT a safe place to heal. ***Bottom line, if you or someone needs help with addiction, please find a PATIENT-BASED rehab facility, that encourages family participation through visitation and group therapy. The counselors should hold degrees in psychology, drug and addiction counseling, etc and have done clinical hours during their studies. Places that show you pictures of what looks like a 5-star resort with promises of gourmet food, a spa-like atmosphere, and an easy process do not have their client's best interest at heart. As with any facility, you need to do your due diligence, ask questions, and review their qualifications. If I can educate just one person on what to look for and what to avoid, so that they can help a loved one or themselves acheive sobriety in a safe and healthy environment, then I will consider writing this incredibly worthwhile.

The staff who accompanied the four residents as they assaulted me and took the alcohol from me by force. The three African American males and one African American female repeatedly threatened to **** me up or punch me in the face unless I gave them the alcohol. Usually at a detox, when residents are having an incredibly challenging withdrawal, they give them benzos; they don't order alcohol to be delivered to the detox and then allow the residents to assault a DoorDash driver. If you are considering sending someone that you wish to have detoxed off of substances, you might want to ask yourself if they will survive the other residents.

HORRIBLE ALL AROUND…read more I don't even know where to start. To put it in simple terms, the people at this place worked directly with Lauren Brock of the advocacy group to violate my client rights and engage in many ethical code violations. I am traumatized from my experience. All they did was cause immense distress by creating a toxic and unstable environment, tell me one thing and do the other, then gaslight me when i'd get frustrated. They held financials over my head constantly in order to comply with their orders, and often made me sign ROIs i was no comfortable signing. All my private therapy sessions were relayed back to Lauren Brock, someone i did NOT want to sign an ROI for. All they wanted was a paycheck from my wealthy father knowing he was willing to pay as much as it took to "cure" me. Horrible. Their "amazing" psychiatrist also put me on meds that made me gain 30-40 lbs, i was pushing 170 at one point, and all i was told by the team was that i am showing signs of an eating disorder for trying to restrict myself and lose weight. They then proceeded to put me on an SSRI to "manage the dysmorphia" despite me having a literal BIPOLAR 1 DIAGNOSIS. That's actually insanity to me. Anyway, they lied on my discharge forms, took months to correct it, and then didn't actually correct it. In fact Laura made it seem worse than it was before. They also were extremely difficult to communicate with when my corvette got stolen off their property. Accountability seems to be a difficult concept for them to grasp despite non stop preaching that to me for over a year. My car was a 55k corvette, it's nothing special. and it was stolen at the BW house... Now what if someone decides to bring their 200k luxury vehicle? If you're charging us so much money you'd think you'd keep the house secure. With all this being said, Jeff, Dr. Aye, and nurse Kay are the exceptions. They were the only genuine people who actually cared about helping me, but they had no power or room to do so because Lauren and Laura Berman were running the show. Stay away from these people if you want real help for mental health or substance abuse. If you're a parent looking to support your child, STAY FAR AWAY. they will manipulate you. they will cause such a huge rift in your family dynamic while placing the blame solely on your child. it creates resentment and a lack of trust. My family dynamic has healed tremendously since I was able to escape this place and show my father the true reality of this place. We haven't fought since. Yet under their "care" there was fights every week, we barely talked, he didn't trust me, i didn't trust him, and everything was purely transactional between us. Wonderful dynamic you created guys! Be proud of yourself! Please note this is all alleged until proven to be true in court.

(This is my review for the SF office, but I am sure it is relevant here as well. I have a suspicion…read morethat this type of behavior may allegedly by systematic) My experience at The Camden Center, which I entered in 2022 seeking help for what I initially believed was Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and PCOS, proved to be deeply concerning. I left feeling worse off, largely due to what I perceived as significant issues in diagnostic clarity, treatment approaches, and financial interactions. Here's a detailed account of my journey: 1. Diagnostic Clarity Concerns: During my time there, the clinic director, Dr. Reina Remigio, expressed to me that she did not believe I had BPD. However, upon my discharge, my records, as I understood them, continued to reflect this diagnosis. I was also concerned that documented symptoms I experienced, such as mania and insomnia, which can be indicators of bipolar disorder, seemed to be overlooked. It was disheartening that a later independent assessment by another professional was able to provide a clear bipolar diagnosis in a single session, something I felt The Camden Center struggled to achieve over several months of treatment. Looking back at my Camden Center medical records, I found no documented evidence of me displaying classic BPD behaviors like "I hate you don't leave me," "fear of abandonment," or "lashing out." 2. Questions about Treatment Approaches: I was prescribed herbal supplements for PCOS, which I felt was not an evidence-based medical approach for my condition. Additionally, I continued to be prescribed Lexapro even when I was experiencing symptoms that, in hindsight, I now understand could indicate bipolar disorder, which SSRIs like Lexapro can potentially worsen for some individuals. It also felt confusing to continue Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when my BPD diagnosis was being questioned by the clinic director. 3. Concerns Regarding Financial Discussions: My case manager and other staff members engaged in what I experienced as aggressive discussions about their overnight program. Despite my clear statements that I could not afford this program, I felt consistently pressured to enroll. This approach felt more like a sales tactic than a focus on my individual patient-centered care. 4. Formal Complaints Filed: I have since submitted formal complaints to the relevant California licensing boards regarding my experiences with Dr. Reina Remigio and Jacqueline Marcil and the overall care and financial pressures I encountered. To Prospective Patients: Based on my experience, I strongly encourage you to: Demand diagnostic assessments in writing and ensure they are consistent with your understanding of your care. Be cautious of treatment recommendations that feel financially motivated. Remember that a clinic's "prestige" does not always guarantee the quality of care or a patient-centered approach. Non AI prompt: I went back and forth on how safe it would be for me to share my medical records, and yeh it puts me in dicey territory. But here is the reality, most reporting to the proper boards rarely results in actually disciplinary action. Just look at the 8 passengers case, that therapist had been reported multiple times and was able to maintain her license. The system protects bad therapists and bad psychologists. They can charge you exorbitant amounts of money and when you show them how you aren't better they can say like "well you consented to this treatment". As a patient you aren't safe. So yeh, I am putting myself in a bad situation because what happened to me at this facility damaged me and my family members. They knew I was struggling to pay for the program and they told me they would help me get better, and while they did provide some help, it was not 35k worth of help, maybe 1k at most. I would never do to someone what Jacqueline and Reina did to me. I would never take advantage of someone in that way, just for 35k. My life is worth more than that. The bipolar symptoms were obvious. There is no excuse to have ignored my repeated requests for an assessment and there is no excuse for a facility that charges 35k to have repeatedly overlooked bipolar disorder when I was displaying almost none of the unique identifying traits of BPD I can't include private discussing with other psychologists regarding the misdiagnosis as that is protected or something, IDK. So I am including my medical record showing the proper diagnosis after leaving Camden.
