I was on a path of self-destruction and was able to right myself towards a path of recovery wholly due to the care, compassion, counseling, therapy, and education imparted by the Lighthouse Leadership Team and Staff. This is a truly an exceptional program focused on a holistic approach to rehabilitation and recovery. All facets crucial to a healthy and successful launch to recovery are carefully addressed, focused on restoring physical, mental, and emotional states of well-being. Physical health is carefully monitored and medical needs are addressed and met by a competent and compassionate medical team. In addition to 24 hour access to snacks and beverages, nutritional needs are met by an outstanding kitchen staff, where healthy, well-balanced, freshly prepared and delicious meals are provided three times a day. Psychological education essential to the recovery process is imparted by well-trained and empathetic personnel whose compassion and dedication is readily apparent from day one. Both a licensed counselor and therapist are personally assigned to each client for one-on-one weekly meetings, who also have an open door policy to effectively address any needs related to your treatment progress. The facility itself is clean, peaceful, and well-maintained, providing comfortable accommodations and an overall environment conducive to a smooth and successful recovery. It is important to emphasize how critical and effective the Lighthouse Staff and Team were in launching me to an overall state of well-being, where the daily encountered challenges of life we are overcome with understanding, patience and compassion. These are the attributes I encountered from the staff during my treatment at the Lighthouse and I am proud to be an alumnus to carry on this tradition of a program that ultimately saved my life and paved the way for a happy and healthy future. I apologize in advance if I miss (or mispell) any names who were instrumental in my recovery and to whom I would like to express my deep gratitude: - Carlos : whose outstanding care and efficiency in the admission process went above and beyond expectations and who continues to perform at an extraordinary level as shown by his responsiveness to recent client admissions - Teresa : for the strong, inspirational and compassionate leadership which naturally commands respect and gratitude, ultimately resulting in the implementation of a successful treatment program - Jessica and Sochi : who warmly welcomed me to the program on day one - Delia and Eunice : who diligently and effectively addressed any medical needs with warmth and compassion - LaDonna, Julie, Stephanie, Paula and Linda : who always met me with a genuine smile and heartfelt interest in my well-being, as well as words of wisdom and support - Austin, Alfonso and Joey: whose sincere commitment to our recovery was expressed through interactions in the med room and leadership at group meetings - Jorge, Noah, Kay, Will and Robert: who provided moral support and fearlessly transported us to the gym, Walmart, outside meetings and critical appointments - Steve : who, with a beaming smile, effectively set-up needed outside appointments and transportation - Yesenia, Sonia, Lulu, Spencer, Sarah and Mario: whose heartfelt love and care was manifested in the scrumptious meals they so carefully prepared for us - Dana and Cup of Joe : whose attention and dedication to facility maintenance needs was readily apparent (and Joe's) deliciously strong coffee turbocharged our energy levels during treatment - Johnny : whose Psych Education classes were instrumental in reframing thought processes and were executed with the perfect balance of laughter and seriousness - Marlene : my well-respected therapist who so expertly and compassionately guided me to a path of psychological recovery - Candice : my counselor who is loved by all and has an impactful positive effect on those she guides Thank you to all the Lighthouse Staff all for your love and support.

I was admitted to SeaCliff on 8/25/17 after spending a week in New Start Detox in Santa Ana, Ca. I…read morewas scared. I had overdosed on heroin on 8/17/17 and an angel sent me to New Start telling me that I would go for detox and then to a longer term facility where I would be safe and taught how to get my life back together without the use of drugs and alcohol. When my detox discharged me and brought me to SeaCliff I was so terrified. I was angry, I had so much self hate, I had no self worth and I felt hopeless. The staff immediately assured me that those feelings were temporary and that it would get better. It did. I met the owner, Daryll, that day. He had an open door policy. Daryll ended up being like an Uncle to me. From day 1 he let me know that I was important and he believed in me. Then I met my counselor Dave. Dave was another one, he had been through hell and back like myself so we related. With those 2, the therapist, the support staff and the 12 step fellowship, I began to grow into a woman who stopped hating myself and everyone else. I actually started recognizing my worth, I learned boundaries, I learn how to have relationships with my family and friends, I learned how to help others, they gave me the freedom to get a sponsor and go out and work those 12 steps like my life depended on it because it did and then get my own sponsee and help her, and now I have 9 months free from active addiction. I graduated from the program at Seacliff and now I live on my own, just 4 miles away. The team helped me make a plan so that I'm close by because my blood family lives on the East Coast. My Seacliff family is just a quick ride away and I stay close to them, my meetings are right down the road, my sponsor is right down the road, Daryl and Dave are just a phone call away as well as the support staff. Although I graduated they are still here for me just like they were when I was in their facility. Just because you graduate doesn't mean you have to leave their family. That facility literally saved my life. They taught me how to live again. They had simple rules that I respected, they took me to meetings everyday, I attended their groups everyday, they had fun events for us, I had never been in a treatment center which had such a family setting that taught me so much about living free from active addiction at the same time. Every time I had a bad day I would run into Dave's office or Darryl's office and when I would make mountains out of mole hills they would say we can get through this this is not the end of the world and they would handle the problem. Words can't express my gratitude nor explain the benefits I've reaped from SeaCliff Treatment Center. I've been to MANY rehabs but not like this. I've been to the fanciest, I've been to the institutionalized ones... this place is the best because I nevet felt like I was actually cared about like I was here. I had the freedom to go out and adult, get my sponsor and get busy with the program after my SeaCliff Responsiblities were handled for the day. I would never go anywhere else after being here... There are so many other amazing staff members at SeaCliff and so many awesome things that go on there and I am blessed that I get yo go there and be an example for the new clients and show them that it works. God willing I never have to go to treatment again as a client. I could keep writing for days about this place! If you follow the program and the rules that SeaCliff has and get a sponsorand work the 12 steps then you can live this amazing life that I have found too!!!! Thank you guys for being super loving and caring and expecting nothing in return but respect and hard work. Another perk was that it's 3 blocks from the beach.

I'm an opiate addict. Fentanyl, heroin roxies, dilaudid, and meth. I've been using all of these…read moredrugs for the last 10 to 12 years. My reason for not getting sober is the same as every other opiate dependants'..The withdrawals. Ewwww....Detox for opiate addicts is terrifying.. Even though i was losing everything, I still couldn't quit....I've tried and tried to detox myself at home as well as other places and failed miserably time and time again...And then I found Embrace in Costa Mesa California. I freaking wish I had known places like this existed a long time ago. The staff here are remarkable. I've never had people in a facility like this care so much about what I was going thru. Whats supercool is that all of the staff here have been opiate and/or meth addicts so they get it. I only had one "kinda" bad day. Believe it or not, the worst detox symptom I had was sweating. The comfort medication they give you does exactly that... keep you comfortable. Maria, the daytime operations manager, jumped thru hoop after hoop for a number of reasons for me. Noura has the most nurturing nature, truly caring and helping me when I was at my worst. Eric, whose kinda my favorite...well they are all my favorite...but he bought and grilled filet mignon, fesh asparagus, and made baked potato, and corn last night for supper (eric spoils us with his grilled foods) so i definitely gotta give him extra points Eric also made sure I was safe from people who came here for the wrong reasons. Then there's Jason...he gets all the credit when it came to keeping me in check and not letting me crash and burn when i was demanding to leave with my debit card so I could go get high. His patience and kindness are unparalleled. Brenda and Bobby, the overnight staff made themselves uncomfortable just so I could be comfortable...And then there's Inez...I cant thank her enough for getting me here. This lady sent an Uber almost 2 hours away to pick me up and bring me here...The embrace house is spotless clean and always smells good. The back yard has beautiful foliage and lounge chairs for sunning. When i was detoxing they would change my bedding for me as often as I needed or wash my laundry bc I was too weak. They ordered from the grocery store whatever food i felt like I could tolerate. Every single person here has had a hand in getting me to where I am right now. Oh and I can't forget Sam..the house manager... I thank him for putting up with my bad attitude and not letting me jump off the proverbial cliff. Thank you so very much, guys!!! I hope that whoever is reading this and needs help will reach out to someone here and get the help they need. I give you my word that you won't regret coming here and you'll be shocked at how easy the detox is.

As a spouse to someone suffering, it's a difficult thing to go through - and some places can be really cold and unhelpful towards spouses who want to support the client. My husband has shared all amazing things about the different classes and groups they offer. I see the camaraderie amongst the men when I visit or drop something off, and can tell they all have each other's backs and want each other to succeed. I want to give a special shoutout to one of the therapists Jocelyn, who was a God send and provided us family counseling. She did her best to help save our marriage and help my husband to see my point of view as a sober person. I also would like to thank the staff Summer and Carol for constantly showing kindness towards us, and patience whenever I had any questions. Nothing is worse than someone being MEAN or rude on the phone when you are trying to gather information with your spouse at the facility! It's hard enough as is that you are going through this in your life. No one thinks of the spouses! These three were like a breath of fresh air for us after having a very negative experience at another rehab. We are so grateful and blessed for Hope House. Thank you for what you do and providing a wonderful experience. We will never forget you guys.

They also ran out of my medication and allowed me only one phone call to try to get more. Needless to say, abruptly stopping psychiatric medication is not recommended. I ended up running away to be homeless because that was easier and I wasn't forced to be there by the courts. Also they really encouraged snitching on others to the point that they will make you sit in the bench for hours until you snitch. Bad vibes. Most the people I know from there relapsed or went back to prison or i saw a few at the local homeless shelter. Fun times.

I am the mother of a child in recovery and I am confident that R & R (Road to Recovery) has to be…read morestudied and emulated as the optimal model for success in recovery. Our family has had several attempts at recovery, and by far R &R offers the most productive approach! Here are a few differences, in my opinion, between the R &R program and the offerings of the majority of well-intentioned, but poorly structured rehab solutions: 1. A long-term integrated and progressive program with a focus on the individual needs in recovery Most of the Rehab's offer 30 days stay (that is what the insurance would normally cover). After this short period, the person in the very early stage of recovery is given a referral to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and a recommendation for a Clean and Sober Living facility. At the very best, the staff of the rehab has some general familiarity with the transitional places that they recommend, but there is hardly any follow up or coordination among rehab, IOP and Clean and Sober Living. Clean and Sober Living facilities are not well-regulated, and the chances that your loved one will wind up in the environment that is less than optimal for the recovery are actually very high. R & R, in contrast, has all the steps of the recovery accommodated under one roof, so to speak. From rehab the person transitions to an intensive IOP that is integrated with Clean and Sober Living: same general location, same team of counselors, same group of recovering men who attend the IOP together and support each other in Recovery at Clean and Sober Living. The IOP program is excellent! It is very engaging; it is based in solid research and staffed by true professionals. The transportation between IOP and Clean and Sober is provided, and the Clean and Sober facility is extremely well supervised without being oppressive. There is a sense of true camaraderie and optimism among the recovering community! 2. Medical and Therapeutic Support The medical staff at a typical rehab is composed primarily of nurses who are usually great at the initial steps of recovery that involves detox, but they are not trained in a professional support that is specific to addiction recovery. Therapy normally focuses on the behavioral aspects, and groups are commonly led by well-intentioned but barely trained individuals. The engagement of the person in recovery dwindles very quickly; groups become "same old," and half of the time in rehab is spent in lingering - "doing time." R & R offers real addiction doctors, serious professional therapists trained in several modalities. The IOP program is progressive - from intense to more relaxed, and it is timed according to the individual circumstances of the participant. IOP covers many salient aspects of recovery in a truly engaging and challenging context that is reminiscent of the best university seminars. 3. Involvement with the 12-Step Programs Most of the rehabs will take patients to the nearby AA meetings and recommend that recovering addicts continue with attending meetings past their stay in rehab. It is easier said than done. R & R takes men in recovery to the AA meetings daily and provides transportation to the meetings. If the person has a particular preference for certain meetings - they will take him there. The treatment team at R & R knows your loved one's sponsor, knows what step he is working on, supports his progress in AA. 4. Personal Accommodations R & R goes out of its way to accommodate existing personal support in recovery! They will take you to appointments when necessary, help with job search, interviews, school applications. 5. Recovery is Fun at R & R! Ryan and Dylan (two super-dedicated, high-energy, deeply caring co-founders of R & R) take groups of guys in recovery to sports events, concerts, to the beach and beyond. Ryan and Dylan bring joy back into the lives of the recovering men who have suffered so much in addiction. 6. Communication and the Safety Cloud When your loved one stays in rehab, staff and treatment team will give you updates, but once he or she transitions to IOP and Clean and Sober Living - all updates are over. As a parent or a spouse, you are left in the dark with your constant fear of relapse. I have not waited for more than 30 minutes for a response to my text message to Ruin or Dylan. You can request and schedule a phone update any time; you can get in touch with the manager at Clean and Sober Living any time. And if, God forbid, a relapse happens - all the help is right there to attend to the problem! This is such a great relief! I cannot express how happy I am that my child is recovering in this unique program! I would hope that any person suffering from addiction finds such great care!

At Silver linings i've been able to grow spiritually, physically, in my mind and find a purpose. Today im over five months clean from drugs and alcohol, I have a career that feeds my energy, and a community of people that help me stay driven and accountable. I encourage anyone struggling with their mental health or addiction to reach out to this team, it was the best decision I've ever made. I regret not doing it sooner. Dive in head first and give it your all, day by day, it compounds and pays in dividends. Sign up for EMDR, it's a game changer, Becca's the best, Kira's Art therapy is a vibe, Luis keeps the wheels turning and deserves his flowers, Jerry's the veteran sober mentor with 20+ years sober, Suzanne was my amazing case manager, always advocating for me and guiding me in the right direction, Corey's discharge planning groups help you prepare for your next steps and she's always leading groups on tropics that the clients are intrigued by. Martha is such a light, her couples counseling was so valuable for me. Will leads a grief group every month for men that's really supportive. Kendra and Doctor Grover are so much more than medical support, your check ins with Dr. Grover are like a session with a guru. The director, Dan, is the wise yoda/Buddah at Silver linings, he gets pulled in a 1000 directions all day, but is always available to help ground or center the energy and provide whatever help or guidance you need. CK and Barmack are the two behind the scenes, but they're always serving others and offering themselves as a vessel to serve a higher purpose. I can't say enough good things about this group of SPECIAL HUMANS. It's not hard to find the silver lining.
