I began my journey to long-term recovery at DP almost 3 years ago. I was one of the lucky ones who took advantage of the opportunity to participate in their long-term program. That's where the magic happened for me. It's not to say Discovery doesn't possess a phenomenal 30-day program. DP definitely does. But I was so burnt out from a nasty heroin dependency that 30 days just started to crack the chains of addiction. It's incredible that almost every person I was in the long-term program with are still sober today. I went to other treatment centers. They were a joke compared to Discovery. My parents could have sent me anywhere: Hazelden, Cumberland Heights, Cliffside Malibu. Thank God they sent me to DP. Even though I'm an employee now, I would write this review regardless. Where else can you go for a high quality 30-day program and continue to participate in the program, free of charge, Monday-Friday? Nowhere. That's what's missing in today's addiction treatment centers. No perpetual commitment. Just 30 days, and a pat on the head. Not at Discovery Place. They stay committed, even after you leave. Every friend I have today is the result of the 104 days I spent at Discovery Place. I owe them my life. read more

Without help from Discovery Place, there is a very good chance I would not be writing this review, I would have passed on by now. I was at a point in my life where I did not feel like living anymore due to my alcoholism. After being through a couple other treatment centers, I felt no one could help me. Through the help of my family finding Discovery, I was able to complete a 60 day program there. Discovery was like no other place I had been. The guides (recovering alcoholic/addicts) took me through the 12 steps of AA, by which they themselves recovered, showing me a new way of living. I would recommend Discovery Place to any alcoholic/addict who feels there is no way out. Discovery Place truly saved my life. read more

If any one is feeling like they are in a hopeless state, then Discovery Place is highly reccommended. Thanks again Discovery Place. read more

When I first came to Discovery Place, I was in a hopeless situation. Alcoholism and Drug addiction had robbed me of everything important to me. The staff here at Discovery Place helped me see that there was hope. That if I would follow some simple suggestions, work on my relationship with a G-d of my own understanding, and live one day at a time that I could be free. Today I have peace of mind. I have serenity. I have good relationships in my life. read more
