I had an amazing experience at The Villa and can't recommend this treatment center enough. From the…read moremoment I (nervously) walked in, I could tell that the staff genuinely cared about what I was going thru and wanted me to get well. They made me instantly feel welcomed and comfortable, and throughout my stay I grew even more appreciative for the compassion and skill level of the staff. Their approach is very holistic and expands far beyond just the 12 steps. We learned meditation, breathing exercises, yoga, acupuncture, among many other things. The therapists are the best I've ever spoken with. I had 2 assigned to me including a trauma therapist who helped me work through issues I had never really spoken about with anyone before, helping connect my childhood trauma with my substance abuse issues, and giving me the tools to deal with it. The house is very spacious and comfortable with a giant pool and hot tub, and we had time to relax and match movies and hang out. I laughed a lot with the other clients and had more fun than I ever would have imagined in rehab and made new friends that I've continued to stay friends with after leaving. Beyond just getting clean, the Villa gave me the breakthroughs and tools I needed to stay sober and taught me how to enjoy life, laugh, and have fun without needing alcohol and for that I'm forever grateful. I checked out of the Villa a completely different person, ready to take on the world. Don't think twice about going here if you're in need of help!

I can't say enough about the Villa Treatment Center. This is the review you want to read, as I have…read moreworked in the industry for years and was also a client of The Villa. The Villa is THE place to go. I have people from all walks of life, from friends, family, friends of friends, come to me and ask where their loved one should go and The Villa is the ONLY place I can say with 100% confidence in recommending. The Villa's staff have all of the, and the best of the credentials and the owners couldn't be nicer, more involved, and were easy and available to talk to throughout the entire experience. Even after your stay is completed. They ACTUALLY CARE. Every other place that I know or have worked with has some sort of monetary incentive, but the Villa is only recovery center in the COUNTY that genuinely wants to help people get sober and have amazing futures. From the moment you pick up the phone, you are part of the family...even when you graduate. I would say 95% of the programs in LA and maybe even the entire state of California are at least somewhat corrupt and only looking to make money. It's shocking what happens in this industry, especially when it's supposed to be saving lives. I can HONESTLY and PROUDLY say that the Villa is in the other 5% and I couldn't be more honored that I went there and I am so happy, relieved, and reassured that I have a place I can recommend to my loved ones. I am excited for the future of this disease because the Villa exists and that I can recommend it in full confidence. They save lives and are family for life. Please feel free to leave me a message and I would be happy to call and answer any questions. Thank you, with everything that I have. The Villa, you are my family for life. Love, Kate

I can't say enough about my experience at Lost Angels Treatment Center. From the moment I arrived,…read moreit was clear that this place truly cares about long-term recovery, not just getting you through detox. The environment was clean, calm, and structured in a way that invited healing and reflection -- it didn't feel clinical or cold like other places I'd seen. The staff here are compassionate, professional, and genuinely tuned in to your individual needs. Every aspect of the program was personalized -- from group therapy and one-on-one counseling to family support sessions that helped repair relationships back home. Their dual diagnosis approach helped me address underlying mental health challenges alongside addiction, which made all the difference in my lasting progress. The luxury amenities (private suites, great food, fitness areas) were comforting, but what really stood out was the quality of care and the focus on building real life skills for sobriety. I left feeling stronger, clearer, and hopeful -- and I actually feel equipped for life beyond treatment. Highly recommend this center to anyone serious about lasting recovery.

I felt so comfortable with them. Luda the nurse always had my meds available and worked overtime to help find them if needed.. Most importantly the techs are incredible.  They were always around for me.  They listened and shared their story which was great because I felt they really understood what I was going thru. I could tell they really cared .  The chef was amazing.   The house at Altus was beautiful. It had everything I needed.  They offered yoga,massage, kickboxing and more. There isn't any other place like Altus.  I highly recommend  them. They gave me a wonderful start in my recovery.

I should have done my research on this place because after reading the reviews on here, I…read moreexperienced almost a similar situation as one listed here. This place is a scam and it did nothing but drain me and my family of their money. They don't care about anything but money. I ended up leaving this place and found a much more suitable program in Palm Springs that really understood my needs and took the time to work though my issues instead of just demanding that I contact my insurance to get verified. Stay far away from here!! A lot of illegal activities going on here! There were clients using drugs in the home and even the staff was nodding off during their shifts. Like what kind of a place are you running here? Toxic!

It took a friend convincing me to get help and give Ritz a shot, and honestly, it was the best decision I ever made. The staff really knows what they're doing when it comes to this disease, and they helped me finally get off fentanyl for good. Ritz is clean, cozy, and has this chill vibe that makes it easy to settle in and focus on getting better. What I loved most was how the team treated me , they actually listened, kept it real, and showed real compassion because many of them had been through the same struggles. They didn't just throw a one size fits all plan at me, they made a plan that fit meIt felt like a safe space where I could be open and vulnerable without any judgment. I met people there I never thought I'd even hang out with, but some of them turned out to be the best folks I've met. We even went on weekend outings that showed me how to have fun without drugs. Oh, and huge shoutout to Steve, the chef, seriously, the best food I've ever had.

Not the best experience, I was targeted by certain staff members and treated poorly at times. while…read moresome staff members were exceptionally helpful and supportive(Danielle, nick, Laura, Johanna, and Chantelle as well as the chef). The overall company was trying to get the most money out of my insurance as possible. I started off in the sober living facility and during Christmas time, I had covid over winter and had to take NyQuil and that was the first excuse for forcing me back into a rehab program that was not needed. My reason for being in the program in the first place was that I had 18 back to back surgeries over the past 4 years and was on opioids for a long period of time so this was a way to detox in a safe environment. There was no psychological addiction, just physical dependence to opioids. They lied about multiple addictions to medication(amphetamine addiction) that I was prescribed since childhood and used it to get more money through insurance. They also lied about an alcohol addiction, when I am medically intolerant to alcohol. When I got back to the sober living after this time I was talked about poorly among staff members and called "attention seeking" for asking for a few days off in order to visit 2 dying family members. Eventually someone in the group had consumed alcohol and told the staff which upset another client due to the unfairness and favoritism. This upset client gave me alcohol without my knowledge or consent and afterwards told the staff that I was drunk. This other client had been upset and doing things like this for 2 weeks prior to this incident. I believe he did this in order to prove a point that they will send people they dislike or with good insurance back to rehab in order to get more money. This client later confessed to me he had put alcohol in my drink without my consent and I had a reaction to the alcohol and was placed back into the rehab facility. I was put on addictive barbiturates and unnecessary medications for 2 days before my insurance denied coverage due to fraudulent services. The alcohol level was so low that there was no logical reason I needed to be there. I was then abandoned as a patient had had to find a new place to live in 2 hours or I was out on the street. Remember it's just a business. They don't actually care about you. They left another 2 of my friends on their own where one eventually fell into a coma following her abandonment. Something else they did was contact my pharmacy and told them never to fill any of my prescriptions ever from any doctor. I was no longer under their care at all. I'm a disabled person and this made it very difficult to obtain medication that I needed. This is a HIPPA violation for sure.

I believe you can have success in treatment in a lot of places if you want it and choose to trust the process and listen to what the counselors are saying!! Which is our biggest problem we get a few weeks clean and we are back to wanting to do things our way!! I really enjoyed my time at Hollywood Hills and I believe they give everyone the tools and the knowledge to stay clean but that's just step one in a 30 day stay! They then set you up to go to a sober house and do IOP which is just as vital to your recovery!! They offer all these steps here at Hollywood hills and you see people being very successful if they can get out their own way and listen to what the staff is recommending for them!! If you do that and trust the process you will and can stay sober!! I was sober for many years after Hazeldon and am now on 6 plus months sober from Hollywood hills and there sober house in Northridge and am back home with my family enjoying life once again!! I loved Hollywood hills cause your in there with a small group it's personal the staff takes your recommendations and works hard to get you back out in the world and you start to enjoy the little things! In my 30 day stay we went to a lakers game that they brought us to and to universal studios recovery is not about punishment and hating your self it's about learning to love your self enjoy life and learn to appreciate people and things and I can say I appreciate everything the staff at Hollywood hills did for me and I would recommend it to anyone it was a great time in my life and got me back on track!!

There were times when I honestly worried about whether I would ever get to see her truly happy, healthy, and free from addiction again. Today, she has been sober for over a year, and I couldn't be more grateful to the people at Bright Paths Recovery for being part of her journey. I especially want to thank Jessica in admissions, who went above and beyond to help my cousin get the help she needed. Jessica, your compassion, dedication, and willingness to help made a difference in our family's lives that words can hardly explain. I truly believe that without Jessica helping my cousin get into treatment, I might not have my cousin here with me today. That is something I will never forget. You didn't just help someone get into a program; you helped give our family hope and gave my cousin an opportunity to reclaim her life. Recovery is not an easy road, and we know the journey takes continued strength and commitment. But seeing my cousin sober for over a year is a blessing that means everything to us. Thank you, Bright Paths Recovery, and a special thank you to Jessica. Your work matters more than you may ever realize. You made a lasting impact on our family, and I will always be grateful for the role you played in helping save someone I love.
