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.

They almost killed my mom from neglect. I had to call 911 and the doctor told me I saved her life…read more She was within hours of dying due to neglect. She had a high temp., infection, and was "severely dehydrated." They had no clue and never checked. Do not go here.

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

Sooo, I was here many years ago. I was a stubborn one. Not there from jail or anything but nothing…read morewas working so I was forced to go here (I'm sober now on my own which doesn't work for most people). I understand how this works for some people. First, the negative reviews are completely true. In the beginning they take all of your belongings and the staff picks a couple of outfits you are allowed to wear. I'm talking mismatched socks and like two teeshirts. I had a lot of stuff, including a laptop, a new purse I worked hard for. They convince you "it's just belongings and you should care more about saving your life. Okay great. When I left to go to a different treatment center, I was told to come back for my belonging. I went through it and only half of it was there. Went back, they told me over and over that this was everything. Gaslighting. I was told by a former employee that, "yeah they sent my belongings to the wrong person and told us to lie about it." So much for a program of rigorous honesty... We did all of the work around the house. Staff is told to be cruel to us. Yes Honey would frequently lecture us for a very long time and call us slurs. There were rats, but we were told to deal with it because we can't tell Honey. Meanwhile it was her dog's treats that were attracting the rodents... They tell us when we are allowed to shower. That was just annoying. The bunk beds were on wooden boards. It was freezing! They shamed me for my meds. They tell you no one cares about you on the outside. Many people told me I was going to die. Maybe I would have if I was an actual addict. Turns out my problem was unmedicated adhd. As soon as I got medicated properly in the real world my brain just stopped wanting substances and alcohol. I'm still mad I let them have my $100 dollar Disney gift card that my aunt gave me for my birthday so they could auction it off.

Huge shoutout to the housekeeping and maintenance teams--you can tell they work hard! The dining room activities are a nice touch too, and the residents seem to really enjoy it.

I DO NOT recommend Crystal Cove Care Center if your goal is to recover and get on with your life…read more My experience here went from bad to worse. I did not enter this facility with a bowel bladder problem, but found that the way they deal with it is, rather than to help you get up and get to the toilet. They slap a diaper on you and tell you to go to the bathroom on yourself. Then the poop crew comes in changes, everyone's diaper and slaps another one on you. I was horrified to say the least. The Managment and Social Services Dept not only lied about various issues that occurred but were unsupportive in every single way. Absolutely the worst ever! Gabby should find a different field to work in because it was evident from our first conversation that helping others was not on her agenda. She was demeaning, rude and put words in mouth that I never uttered in order to make me seem uncompliant. She was offensive in every way possible and created more barriers to my recovery than I can mention here. Next the 2 younger male nurses who handed out the meds had dismissive smart a** attitudes. One actually said to me after waiting over an hour for much needed pain meds after back surgery "This is for my crybaby" needless to say I was shocked. After they refused to tell me what pills I was taking when asked... I requested a printout of the medication's I was taking. He asked me why I was being so difficult and told me that he was going to make me wait an additional hour for the pain medication that was due at that time AND he never printed out the list! After reporting this to management, it became clear to me that they were going to do absolutely nothing about it. Several times I ended up having to call the facility from my outside cell phone to get someone to answer my call light because the minimum wait time was 20 minutes. Completely unacceptable in every way, shape and form. However, I would like to highly commend the staff of overworked CNA's there who were kind, compassionate and caring. Many thanks to those who helped me along the way. In addition the physical therapy staff was excellent and I wish I could remember the Russian gal's name who was so fantastic in every way. Kudos to you. Keep up the good work!! The final straw that broke the camels back was the fact that they lost my custom-made front crown tooth and refused to even let me file a report about it. I was furious and I'm still without a front tooth many weeks later. I asked everybody to stop what they were doing that was helping me at that particular moment and told them exactly where my tooth was located next to me and they just kept on going and rolled it up in my sheets and dirty diaper, shoved them together in a plastic bag and left the room saying they would find it later in the laundry . I was mortified. It was a Saturday and I couldn't even get anybody to walk in there and place a reward sign which I was offering because it was a $2000 crown that required 3 seperate visits to the dental office. Heartbreaking expensive and difficult to replace considering my current health condition and restrictions. I'm not sure how they got away with NOT allowing me to file a report about the incident, but they simply refused to give me the necessary paperwork to file a report. Shocking!! After that I AMAʻd out of that hell hole just to get away from mananagment and Gabby who was physically blocking my exit with both hands on her hips upon me trying to exit the building. It was a disgusting experience in which I left the facility worse often than when I entered. I am now happily situated at Pelican Ridge Post Acute just down the street and I am highly satisfied with the care I am receiving there.
