    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.

    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.

    Smells, they don't inform you of any issues with the patient and if they do it's incorrect…read more Very unorganized don't put your family member there.

    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.

    Balboa Horizons runs an amazing program! The entire staff…read moreare very knowledgable in the area of addiction and recovery! 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!!! Another part of the program that was extremely beneficial was the Family workshop, consisting of 3 very informative and intense days!! I highly recommend Balboa Horizons inpatient program to anyone in need!! Just an update: my loved one has over 1 yr clean and sober now and we owe a big part of it to Balboa, eternally grateful to them!!!!!

    Life-Changing Recovery at Yellowstone…read more Yellowstone Recovery has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. When I arrived, I was broken, lost, and unsure. I came in as a scholarship girl, but from the very beginning, I was treated with the same love, respect, and opportunity as everyone else. They didn't see me as less than--they saw my potential, even when I couldn't see it myself. One of the most impactful parts of my journey was learning what true recovery looks like. Honey played a huge role in that by teaching me the fundamentals: getting a sponsor, working the steps, and giving back what was so freely given to me. These weren't just words or suggestions--they were a blueprint for a new way of life, one that would not only save me but allow me to help others along the way. Yellowstone didn't just help me get sober; they helped me build a life worth living. Today, I have a family, both in my personal life and in the fellowship of AA. I volunteer, I have a sponsor, and I sponsor others, all because of the foundation that was laid for me here. This program didn't just save my life--it gave me a purpose. For anyone who is struggling and feels like there's no way out, I can say with all my heart that recovery is possible. Yellowstone Recovery gave me the tools, the support, and the love I needed to find my way, and for that, I will be forever grateful. Honestly, Humbly, Grateful, Tazia Marie

    So I just recently left Yellowstone after spending several months there. I was not told before I…read morecame that 95% of the client's are on parole or where just released from prison. I was also lied to about several other things. To me it was more like a jail then a rehab. And the only thing you are allowed to do is go to there meetings and the center every day. If I could do it over again I would not of spent the money I did to stay here. There's no communication between staff and no one could ever give me a straight answer about anything. They kept me away from my family and wouldn't let me talk to them for a couple months. PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

    I have mixed feelings about this place. There are some things they do very well. The best shifts…read moreare Days and Swings. However Graveyard is absolutely terrible. My short stint there could have been so much better. I was there for rehab after knee replacement surgery. Graveyard made me anxious and intimidated. I was in a vulnerable place and just tried to ride it out. One final incident was enough for me to speak out. I was told from the get go that Graves had their own program and it was insinuated that I should comply. Why was I in a diaper? No idea. PT wanted me walking to the restroom. Not on graves. They insisted I pee and poop in the diaper. Humiliating. Nope! Not going to happen. I had to wait until Dayshift for someone to guide me to the bathroom. I was awoken in the early AM, still graveyard, a couple of times by someone kicking my bed. The jolt made my heart race. I have a heart condition and it wasn't a good approach. The nursing on nights is the complete opposite of days and swings. Let's just say I'm surprised this one nurse still has a job. The nurse broke protocol and policy. The nurse tried to tell me I was crazy regarding a specialty medicine I've been taking. The nurse left this medication in a cup and didn't tell me or watch me take it. There is so much more with this situation that was wrong and just too long to go into. I finally reported to several people all the stuff that was happening to me on graveyard. The head nurse was shocked and promised to look into it. I was leaving the next day and thankfully the nurse in question was on days off. I was actually worried about retaliation. That should never happen to anyone. Days and Swings may function well, but graveyard is terrible. I honestly cannot recommend this place because of graves!! The food at this place is terrible. I could hardly eat anything. I have food allergies and most of the time it wasn't followed. I would suggest a complete overhaul of their menu. And taste the food before you send it out. This facility isn't cheap. You should get a decent meal. I don't know how you mess up scrambled eggs but they succeeded. The care I received is mixed. Dayshift was the best, Swings was next, with the exception of two or three really great employees on swings. They know who they are. Graves is in the negatives. It may not be fair to lump everyone together but the negative far outweighs the positive so I have too. This place has great potential. I really think they are working on many things. Fix graveyard. Fix the employees who don't seem to like their job, who run their own program that is nothing like other shifts and the patients pay for it. Stop letting them intimidate patients. I was literally afraid to sleep. I'm glad my stay was short. One of the big pluses was the PT and OT staff. They were fantastic. They are a step above in all things. I unfortunately overheard very upset family members on graveyard complaining about the medical staff. It was awful listening to their concerns and the staff pretty much ignoring them. I secretly hoped they would take it further. Some employees on graves actually looked petrified at the simplest requests. The one nurse on graves probably shouldn't be in health care. There is also a huge language barrier on all shifts This causes its own unique problems. All I can offer is to do your research. Ask questions. Believe your loved ones. I wish there were separate facilities for people just needing rehab. No one should experience what I did or the other problems I just happened to overhear. ***The facility is very clean and smells really good***
