My mother was discharged here to recover from an acute RSV infection that nearly killed her. She…read morealso has COPD, kidney and heart failure, and an in operable moderate collapse of T6 due to osteoporosis. On top of all this, she gets delirium and was so combative at her last SNF (which was a horrible experience) she ended up back in the ER with a flail chest that also nearly killed her. Needless to say I was very concerned about another SNF experience. The thing about Rehab and SNF is it's a step down and you need to be patient and understand there is reduced staff from a hospital setting- something my mother isn't the best at. I anticipated a constant battle with both of them. I was wrong. Her care was exceptional. Her physical and medical needs were addressed in a timely fashion. Her rehab was equally impressive and her room was clean every time I visited. The nutritionists did a great job with her dietary needs. Within days I found myself worrying less and when it came time to discharge home I found myself considering paying for extra days. A SNF is a difficult environment to work in but the staff were always friendly and kept me well informed. They really deserve more praise than they get. I highly recommend Victoria.

I'm a Treehouse alumni, and I'm giving this place four out of five stars…read more Not because it fell short, but because I've never been to treatment before. So I don't have comparisons. And because a five-star review would feel curated for performance instead of written in truth. The truth is... Treehouse is an experience I will never forget. It is also not for everyone. I didn't come to Treehouse looking for recovery. I came because I was running out of time. By the time I arrived, the damage was already real. My body was failing. My mind was loud. My spirit was thin. I wasn't carrying hope, I was carrying consequences. Medical. Relational. Moral. I didn't believe I deserved another chance. I wasn't even sure I could survive one. Treehouse didn't ask me to believe. They asked me to stay. The early days weren't inspiring. They were brutal. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. I collapsed. I shook. I hallucinated. Every morning felt like a resurrection. Every night felt like a funeral. And people I didn't know yet showed up anyway, quietly, practically, without speeches or slogans. This place doesn't perform care. It practices it. Sobriety here isn't treated like the finish line. It's the entry fee. The work is honesty. On paper, out loud, and in how you respond when you're exposed. Language you once hid behind doesn't survive here. I came in believing survival was enough. I learned here that responsibility is the goal. Brotherhood isn't sentimental. It's earned. Men who will call you out without casting you out. Men who don't rescue you, but don't let you disappear either. Somewhere in that pressure, I stopped hiding. I started standing. My body came back before my confidence did. One breath. One step. One honest effort when quitting would've been easier. Discipline replaced chaos. The lies I told myself didn't survive consistency. The body doesn't lie. It also doesn't rebuild without truth. Treehouse didn't erase my past. They taught me how to carry it without letting it poison what comes next. I don't live perfectly now. I live aligned. I know my values. I know my patterns. I know what steadies me and what costs me. I show up differently. To work, my body, other people, and myself. If you're looking for comfort, this may not be the place. If you're looking for truth, structure, and a program that will ask more of you than you think you can give, and stay with you while you give it, this place matters. I know, because I applied the work.

Just my two cents…read more.... I had a very close family member stay at Balboa for 90 days earlier this year. Did she get 90 days sober yes and some good counseling yes, although the staff nor their website is entirely truthful. That alone is not OK with me, don't B.S. people. When you first call in you talk to intake counselor/sales person was very nice, although she leads you to believe she has a lot more interaction with the girls than she really does. I was under the impression she saw them every week, not so in my family member's case. Then there are the "counselors' - aka recovering addicts themselves. That alone is not a bad thing but they really need more time sober and serious training. The case manager my relative had was a joke, total complete control freak that treated the family as the enemy. They seem to forget this is very stressful for the family as well. They also tell you that there will be pilates, trips to the museum, and other activities to help them have fun in a normal life setting. What they don't tell you is that the reality is you fork over additional funds for their activities which don't usually end up happening instead they get a crappy bike cruiser. Not quite what they show on their website. I don't have a problem with this not being summer camp they are there to get sober not have "fun" my problem is that they should just be honest and not make it out to be something it is not. Expect your friend or family member to be hounded constantly about how they need to stay there and do sober living in that area. We all didn't ship our family members off for good, we sent them to get better. I don't know what there agenda is here but again some honesty upfront would have been appreciated. We were in a major time crunch and didn't have long to choose a facility, although I really would have liked some honest reviews ahead of time to know exactly what the deal was. If your relative is older than 25 you may consider choosing another program just for that reason alone, the older gals end up being the baby sitters for the young pups. Please do your homework before signing up your family member. Ask EVERY question you can imagine and get everything in writing.

One of the things that amazed me the most, in addition to all of the group therapy, individual therapy, AA meetings, is that they also do a lot of fun things, showing the clients how to have fun completely sober!!!

I highly recommend Balboa Horizons inpatient program to anyone in need!!

TLDR: This is the best rehab center I have ever been a client of in terms of housing, food,…read morecleanliness, variety of group topics, therapists, and clientele relationship. A staff of the sweetest, most caring people, who never once make you feel like just a body to be moved through the system. In the full review, I write about a specific event in which Akua went above and beyond expectations to take care of me, proving that they truly do not treat clients as just bodies to be profited off of. Any of my friends that tell me they are struggling I will be sending here. If you are shopping around for options, it doesn't get much better than this. FULL REVIEW: Wow. What a Godsend of a program. I really cannot believe how lucky I was to find this place when I did. I was in a pretty rough spot; I knew I needed to go back in for treatment and I felt hopeless because every rehab I was calling around to in OC no longer accepted my insurance (great stuff, America). Finally Akua comes up in my never-ending search. They are one of two rehabs left in OC that still take my insurance. Even still, I am hesitant to commit because the last place I was at ended up being a nightmare (terrible food, uncomfortable beds, a therapist that was incredibly dismissive and apathetic, staff forgetting to take people to important doctors meetings, the list goes on). I call Akua, they tell me that they have their groups focusing on trauma-processing, personalized therapy, emotional support, and they dabble in less traditional therapeutic practices like yoga, & sound baths. SOLD! Come get me NOW! I was in the substance abuse side. The groups were diverse, legitimately helpful, not all straight out of the AA book; a program where the intention was to dissect, understand, and get to the emotional root of why we as people can't seem to drink or use drugs like a normal person can, not just straight "drugs are bad don't do them" D.A.R.E. propaganda. This difference in approach was absolutely critical for someone like me. The house was clean, the food was great, like actually great not just rehab-great, they took us out on different outings, went to the movie theaters twice, barbecued every weekend, legitimately enjoyed myself, and made some friends I hope to keep for life. The staff was so lovely, I want to specifically give shoutouts to Amber (love you girl miss you!!!), Mel, Clarice (if you're reading this, I hope the lambs have stopped screaming), Justin, and Garret, I looked forward to hanging out with them everyday. They all work so so so hard, they've got a lot more daily tasks as day-time techs than I have seen at any other treatment center, and they still would find the time to get to know us and tolerate our buffoonery. If you're an insomniac like me, you'll get to meet the nighttime tech Holly, a total vibe & a hard worker who was helping keep the place nice and clean all on his own volition. My therapist Paul was fantastic. My case manager Robbie is the coolest guy and helped me to get into a sober-living house and set me up in a program where a non-profit would help pay 2/3 of my rent so long as I was in Akua's outpatient program, DEFINITELY take advantage of this yall. Now there's one extra specific detail I want to recount because it proves to me just how different this place is from other treatment centers. When I left residential, I was slated to go to a certain sober living I will not be naming, and when I showed up they had me do a UA test, and the detox medications were still showing up in my system (a very normal thing to happen). I am immediately accused by this man of being high, I try to tell him to talk to my case manager who will show him my lab test results proving that my numbers have been steadily going down since I detoxed. He basically refuses and tells me to kick rocks. I call my case manager in tears, and he immediately sends the head of IOP to come and grab me. Akua let me stay an extra two days in residential, completely out of their own pocket, while finding me another sober-living to move into. I could not believe it. Any other program would NEVER have gone to this length to ensure I was safe, especially since they are losing money doing this. I will never fully be able to express how grateful I am for this. I was in Akua's outpatient program for a total of 4 months. This program helped to establish some structure and routine within my life while getting reintroduced to society (gross) and planning next-steps career wise. Richard, the head of IOP, is incredible, I would sometimes skip out on my therapy sessions to make sure that I got to listen to his groups. Karen, Gabby, Jolene, and Q are all fantastic and very deeply-caring, they lead great groups as well. My case manager Candace is one of the most lovely people ever, and she always kept me in check and called me on my BS. I have run out of words Yelp will let me write, and I want to keep going! I love this program! Akua made me a better man!

My child went to newport inpatient Chandler house and it was the worst experience. My child was…read morehaving issues soiling herself and I was told before she went that they would be able to help and that it would most likely happen within the first week she was there and they would tackle it. After I dropped her off, I expressed my concern that I thought it had happened again that day and I was told that they wouldn't be checking as they didn't want to embarrass her. The kids do their own laundry and the adults at the house only provide help with changing and washing sheets (my child doesn't soil herself through multiple layers of clothing), so right away up front I was extremly disappointed, like I had been punched in the gut. They can't help her if they aren't addressing the issues. Nothing was resolved, and the stress of getting insurance authorizations every week, added to the stress of her being out of state for mental health. The plan was for her to be there 6 - 8 weeks and half way in, insurance denied any further stay, so I had to fly out urgently to go pick her up, or be charged $2000 a day if I couldn't get there within the time frame. My child didn't receive the letters or birthday cards sent by her grandparents or great grandma, there were 9 pieces of mail/cards returned to us, only after I questioned them about it after she got home and was missing a birthday card from my mom. We were promised we would only be charged $500, max, paid it, then a month later, got another $500 bill. I really got the impression they didn't care about helping my child, who lived a life of trauma and neglect before being placed in our home at 10 years old. I was desperate for her to get help after other failed attempts and this place took full advantage of us. Not to mention, they wouldn't give me her chart notes after she was discharged so I could have a better understanding of what she's dealing with. Arlene (the director) promised me she would call me and do a walk through of the facility with me, that never happened. They set us up to fly in before the facility my child was staying at was staffed, so I had to drop her off at a different facility she wasn't going to be sleeping at. She was by herself for the first few days. I wouldn't have agreed to that before getting my flight set up for a Saturday. After the flight was set up, I received a call asking if I wanted to come at a later date, on Monday, but I couldn't cause I didn't have time to clear it through work on a Friday night. They stated they had equine therapy but that only involves looking/petting the horses, no riding, and there weren't any horses at the house my child was staying at. They didn't even offer the equine therapy for the first 2 - 3 weeks cause the lady was out on paternity leave. Another disappointment. The whole experience was awful and having to grab a flight last minute ($$$$) to fly to another state to pick up my child after insurance denied her ongoing stay urked me - that was not explained to us prior to her going. They said she would be there for 6 - 8 weeks, so that's what we were expecting. My child doesn't act out like other kids cause she internalizes everything and they didn't catch onto that - they didn't think she needed help, but they were who encouraged me to send her saying they could help. My child also reads the room well and responds accordingly pretty damn well. Says what she thinks people want to hear. I have high suspicion my child was sexually assaulted (i explained this to them) and they didn't even touch that subject - which has been the ongoing elephant in the room for us. At the end of her stay, while packing up, an employee told her that she couldn't pack her hygene products I sent with her (something about plane regulations - and her multiple bags were NOT carry on, they had to be checked). Newport required all NEW products be sent and specific ingredients weren't allowed, so I spent $130 on new shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, lotion, sunscreen, toothpaste and other listed items on the packing sheet, and nothing came home with her. Another huge waste of money. Newport failed us on every level. Please don't send your kid there, if i could give zero stars for this review I would. Don't believe the hype in your desperate need for help, cause they don't offer any solutions there, just more added stress.
