She didn't know or care to know my history with my mother, and was not on my side. I felt judged, misunderstood, and like I was in a way, forced to be there by my own parents when I needed medical treatment so desperately. I felt this place just took the money and agreed to helping me, only to be somewhat shady and odd once I got there. It was sad time for me. I felt mistreated. That is not how you treat anyone (especially a sick person). I felt some of the staff was mean, especially Kat, and just watched me 24/7. I felt uncomfortable most of the time. Upon my last week or so there, I got yelled at and mistreated by another client in one of the houses I lived at. She was mocking me and I told the operations manager about it. He came by the house and got everyone's story in the house besides mine. The next day, I was called in the office and admitted I engaged in reactive abuse, which is when we react to unfairness in ways we don't mean because I made a rude comment back to the girl. My therapist Brynn labeled this as "worse" even though the other client was low key violent prone, and I have proof of that, because she is aggressive and was making fists when talking to another girl in the group. They used my reaction (which if they were actually versed in psychology they would know WHY i reacted this way), to kick me out of the house (as if I started the beef with the other client, which I didn't). Without enough of a notice, I ended up being forced to go to a sober living (mind you, I do not even have an addiction problem), and ended up on the street. They did not care to check in with me, and I was at this program for 5 MONTHS. They should have been on my side, knowing that I was in an abusive relationship with my parents and were holding finances over my head (which is financial abuse). The night I was left on the street, I really thought I may die that night. Thank God I have the faith of a mustard seed, because I prayed harder than ever after 2 days of homelessness. I ended up finding a REAL therapist to talk to who moved me into her home that night (thank you Jesus).While I was living there, the owner of Casa called me and I shared my grievences with her. When I shared them, she strangely made rude comments about how shes sure I "have not and will not" find a better treatment center to live at, but I was living at one. One in which the women were supportive, the home owner was fair, we each had our chores to do and kept the house very clean. There wasn't drama that any of the girls could get away with. When you're vulnerable, at times, you need somoene to stick up for you. Especially at a rehabilitation center. I do not recommend this phony, "counseling" center that takes your money and doesn't know how to help sick people who are vulnerable!!!! By the grace of God, I ended up going to a better treatment center after this who ACTUALLY helped me get better. I'm very glad i'm alive, and no I do not recommend this place at all.

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!

Vibes - immaculate, food - 8/10, therapy - fun and intriguing, the setting was swanky, the psychiatrist was the only downfall bc they were nonexistent LOL that was the hardest part of my stay bc the first night you are detoxing from ALL meds, yes even prescription ones. The lovely staff who are just doing their jobs have to deal with the fallout of those of us who are used to being able to take our prescription meds without fail bc we know how to maintain our stability. Though that culture shock is very jarring. It actually helps greatly to learn what are the root causes of your pain so you can actually work towards addressing that, instead of masking it with medication, which is a true crisis in our nation currently. Anyhoo, had a great time. Truly reflected on myself and why forgiveness towards myself is such a hard thing for me to accept as well as learning to lower the standards that I set upon myself.

When I left residential I was told this program offers dual diagnosis. I struggle with mental health, addiction, and eating disorders. I was unfortunately lied to about how great this program is the first nutritionist class was a woman named Lola, who is not a nutritionist or a dietitian. She is just a health coach. She basically would tell everyone what they were doing wrong when it came to eating, causing everybody to backtrack on their confidence along with creating or prolonging others eating disorders because of the misinformation she was giving. Along with that this place constantly claims that you will be kicked out or put on blackout or earned some type of consequences when you relapse that is not the case I myself smoked marijuana here for over six months and was told an approximate 3 to 4 times that I was on my final warning, but again I smoked for six months. I did not have my phone taken away. I had no repercussions nothing and honestly, it was a joke to some some being, Staff. I've read reviews about body brokering here and yes, it is 100% true the moment someone calls our insurance and tells on this place that's when they'll be shut down but don't worry I'm sure that will happen here soon. The pictures they have on here is nothing what it looks like there's two buildings one is 12South and one is seek. They are both owned by the same people but again money is the main concern here along with that the housing is also owned by a third company called living solutions that is owned by the same place because again money is the only main concern. I will say though if you need free rent this is the place, they don't require you to have a job for rent, they don't require anything for rent they will just have you write out a note saying it's a hardship and that is how the clients (all) live rent free here. Staff choose his favorites here hundred percent , and any HIPAA violations will go right out the window. All clients know all the other client's business not only because other clients talking, but mainly because of staff running their mouth to clients that they favor. One of the owners, Jeff, he hides in his office most of the time and has all of his little minions do his dirty work. A bunch of con artist run this place and you know exactly what kind of help you will get the moment you see this place and talk with the staff. Medications that are prescribed yes some are legit and then some are put together by Staff and a label is thrown on the bottle with a label maker the medications they are using to give other clients are discontinued, meds, or meds that were refused by other clients in the house houses and then Staff gather them in a giant bag from when the audit comes and they run around with their heads cut off. The EMDR therapist as well as Matt the therapist on the 12South side and the facilitator Miss Keisha along with maybe 2 techs actually really do genuinely care about you and want to see you get the help you need, but again there's only so much these people can do and you know they themselves see the wrong that is happening at this place. Luckily, I am aware enough and coherent enough to see the injustice and the disgusting inhumane treatment happening at this establishment. If you want your family member a loved one or yourself to get genuine help, to live a life you've always deserved and to learn to love yourself again I highly recommend NOT going here. Also this place has a history of staff creating sexual relationships with clients: a case manager had left due to having relations with his client and recently another case manager was fired for having sexual relationships with clients. They do not provide life skills or any thing to help you in the real world. They also just opened up a higher level of care mental health housing called legends cause again the theme with this place is their concern is money what they do is they take clients that I know factually have been there more than two years they go through the cycle of relapse, sending them to higher level of care for their mental health, keeping them on lithium gabapentin to create zombies and make them sleep to not progress and they take these people they don't teach them anything and they leave them in the system constantly using them for their insurance money and again these people are highly unaware because they need a higher level of care Not a place ran by previous con artist that are still doing con artist tendencies. Run far far away from this place and thank me later.

There is no overnight staff, meaning if you need meds in the middle of the night you are screwed. The last overnight staff they had went into psychosis and left mid shift. There is a chore list but there are no repercussions if you don't do them. There are women there that are not fit for communal living and would do much better in a psych ward. My food was constantly being stolen, it became so often they refused to compensate. It's basically a glorified trap house without the drugs. Couch stained and floors filthy. Broken chairs and a barely working kitchen sink. For several weeks the fridge was broken so I bought my own mini fridge. One of clients brought cocaine in to the house and they let her back into the sober living two times. You are told if you do drugs you are kicked out immediately which simply isn't the case. A client relapsed and went back to php for a week, the only consequences she faced. This in itself almost made me relapse. The whole time I was there (June - October) about 3 - 5 staff members left for either relapsing, not doing their job or hating their job. I do not know much about insurance, but I am pretty sure what they are doing is illegal as it was discussed among clients all the time. Something about "body brokering." In the pictures what you see is only one building of 12 south. I was placed in the second. Piss yellow walls with stained brown carpets. The counselors with the exception of three ( shoutout to Mrs. K, Bryant and Christian) are unprofessional or clearly just there for a paycheck. There is fraternizing between the staff and the clients. One of the clients were sexually harassing several women and they kept him in the program. The content of the groups are poor and I genuinely think after being there my mental health worsened. The only thing good that came out of coming here is that it was so awful I would never come back to another rehab again.
