I checked out Casa Pasifica and instantly loved the vibe. The guys at Casa P got me plugged in with the fellowship and I was able to find my tribe. That was the key for me, getting through the steps and finally doing the things I loved again. (Surfing, skating, climbing, and playing music) If you've been struggling with alcohol and addiction you owe it to yourself to check these houses out. Best investment my family has ever made.

Seeking help was the first and most important step I ever took, and admitting that I struggled with…read moredrugs and alcohol was the hardest moment of my life. I can say without hesitation that Nora, Harmony Grove Recovery, and the entire team there saved my life. When I first arrived, I was barely hanging on. My family brought me to Harmony Grove Recovery, but I continued to resist the process. Eventually, I was asked to leave because my behavior was disrupting the peace and progress of others. That was my lowest point--and the turning point. I called Nora for help, and without hesitation, everyone at Harmony Grove welcomed me back with compassion and understanding. I feared judgment, but I never experienced anything except genuine support. The team was truly excited to see that I was finally ready to recover, and they guided me every step of the way. Even after completing Inpatient and Outpatient treatment over a year ago, Nora has continued to be there for me. She has supported me through countless challenges, including a difficult family court situation. After seven months of not being able to see my daughter, Nora played a pivotal role in helping me reconnect with her. Yesterday, I saw my daughter again, and I wish everyone at Harmony Grove Recovery could have witnessed that moment. It was a direct result of the work they helped me do to rebuild my life. Today, I am a present and loving father, son, and friend again. For that, I owe Nora and everyone at Harmony Grove Recovery my deepest gratitude. Thank you for giving me my life back.

It took me years to reach the point where I was finally ready to give up everything and get sober…read more I walked into Casa Palmera with my heart set on recovery, but I have never felt so shamed and disrespected. This facility claims to be an inclusive and diverse community, but in reality, it feels like a "whites-only" club where people of color are made to feel unwelcome and invisible. The environment is toxic. The staff is vindictive and unprofessional, and the director is completely ineffective, allowing the women running the floor to walk all over him and the patients. It's clearly "vanilla" dominated, and if you don't fit that demographic, you don't belong. They didn't care about my sobriety; they only cared about the money. I came in ready for a 7-day detox, but they immediately pressured me to sign a 28-day contract. When I refused to be bullied, their attitude turned hostile. The attached photo of a phone number scribbled on a yellow sticky note was the only "professional" help they gave me. Don't go here if you are looking for real care. They talk about being an affirming space, but they treat patients like business transactions.

Shady, shady, shady is all I can say about this business. The person answering the phone lied when…read moreI originally phoned to ask if they do Ketamine treatment management she said they don't, very vaguely and acted like she never heard of ketamine, and I said I must have called the wrong number and she said, yes. I then phoned back the hospital to say I had the wrong number, they called the number they had originally given to me and verified it was correct so I called back. I got the same person and started in again pretending she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked her why was she doing that. She wouldn't answer. I explained that the doctor's office gave me their number and confirmed with her that they do ketamine and asked for her name because she was so shady. She would not give it to me and hung up on me. I called back several times, asking her to speak to someone in charge, and asking for her name, and why she's behaving in an unprofessional manner. She would not budge and kept hanging up on me. I was hoping to get another person to answer the phone, but it was her each time. Finally, she gave me her name "Alex" which I don't believe is true. I then called back the hospital and told them not to refer anybody to them because of her unprofessionalism. Shocking behavior from someone administering psychiatric medication. The hospital has been notified of her treatment.

She was diagnosed with bipolar years prior and we wanted to make sure she got proper treatment. I never met him cause she was an adult when she went to him and she was too busy to research doctors at that time she was still in school and working. She liked him at first then was indifferent to him and just had to go to get her necessary psyche meds that they held hostage until we spent $160-180 every telemed five minute meeting for. She had complained about their policies a few times and I urged her to look to other doctors bc I wasn't sure she had the right meds based in what I saw in her moods and he didn't seem to listen to her. Weeks ago I reached out twice to him because I saw an escalation in her behavior and moods. I know they can't discuss her with me but even a simple reply that they heard me would've been helpful. We were scared for her but she was an adult so we had little control. She did escalate badly and we went down to help her after several serious red flags and she was eventually hospitalized after bringing her in to be evaluated at the ER. When she needed him most after her psyche ward hospitalization after another manic episode and psychosis which led to the ER doctors keeping her on involuntary hold, he seemed to mock us for it and doubt her bipolar Diagnosis (didn't even get the clinical notes yet from her hospitalization and wasn't interested in what us parents experienced) After going through hell with our daughter she wanted us to join her telemed appt because she knew she was sick and knew we needed to talk to Dr H but all he did was interrupt us, second guess us, tell her to cut off communication with us and now she hasn't spoken to us in five days because she is still recovering from a huge ordeal and vulnerable and she was ready to get aftercare treatment until she spoke with him and convinced her to basically break up with her parents who he doesn't know AT ALL! He has no clue what we've gone through with our daughter. She's really good at manipulating things when she's well. He had a job- to diagnose and give meds and he added another job, interfere and turn our vulnerable daughter against us, the only ones who have truly had her best interest at heart! Saying we were bad for her mental health. Well no, her substances and denial and enabling friends and this doctor are bad for her mental health. We were just trying to desperately save our daughter who went through Another really bad mental breakdown and this Dr crossed a line and set her back

Upon my return I could not walk and they feed me along caring for my other needs until I could care for myself.

The therapist are poor at managing a catty and melodramatic environment, if not participating in the drama themselves. The whole experience felt very high school-ish, cliquey and low-vibe. One would expect better leadership from the staff of a self proclaimed "trauma-focused" treatment center. The facility does get a few stars for the fluff and luxury, just do not expect an experience that will lend to true recovery. UPDATE: I find it interesting that this center had received no reviews since Feb 2022, then three reviews happen immediately after my review on 3/21/23. Seems an obvious possibility that the center retaliated against my post by sending notification out to their network, coaching them for 5 star reviews. Yet another example of the inauthenticity of this place.

My mother is wheel-chair bound and has an after- stroke cognitive impairment. My sister and I visit her every day and always see her looking well groomed and cared for. I do see that staff is often overwhelmed and people are forced to multitask. It is not uncommon to see the same staff members serving food in the dining room and then providing personal care. I feel like the facility needs more staff! We did experience the loss of clothing a few times and that is another issue in need of more scrutiny. We take our mother outside to catch some fresh air every day, but unfortunately, it is not a common practice for the rest of the patients. I doubt if patients, that are not as often visited by family, ever catch any fresh air at all. Definitely something that needs to be considered, especially during the cold season. And the last but not least, the food variety. My mother can only take blended meals and I do not see much difference between lunch and dinner every day. A yogurt could be an option for a patient like her, but it is always mashed potatoes, blended protein and blended vegetable. Every single day! We are thankful overall. Many friends have mentioned that they also had had to make this difficult decision and transfer their parents to the post-acute care, but from what they've seen out there, Boulder Creek is still the best.
