My expectations for a quality experience to help set the stage for building, healthy habits that I…read morecould fall back on once I was on my own was met with a high standard. The nutrition needs were met with quality food prepared at a high-level that taught me to appreciate good food, and fostered a desire to continue feeding my body, and respecting my body by limiting processed foods and high sugar items that only serve to retrigger the reward pathway. The next most important reason I chose 1Method was for their commitment to an exercise program that was built into the weekly schedule that included the guidance of a professional trainer who worked with me to build new habits that have stayed with me. I have stayed sober since August 25 of 2019 . I am grateful to live at the beach where I ride my bike every day and prepare healthy, real foods for myself and my family, because those things helped me build new habits that were foundational to my long term success. I will complete my bachelors degree in December of this year and plan to enter the graduate program in January. It's never too late to make a new start and transform your life.

STAY AWAY! We sent our son (I am not including his name b/c he has asked that I not) to the…read moreEpiphany House after trying everything and feeling totally exasperated with our options. We knew we had to do something when his alcohol and heroin addiction became violent (one night he assaulted a pedestrian and smashed the windshields of half a dozen cars in our neighborhood). Only by the grace of god, did we eventually get him clean for 2 months and we were elated! We thought the Epihany house seemed like a great idea to get him acclimated and some badly needed friends. We met the owner, the entire staff, all of whom seemed friendly and interested in our son. On the surface, everything seemed great so we admitted him to the house. Slowly, the skeletons started to appear... Fist we discovered that the Epiphany house has only been around one year! The "staff", if you can call them that, have no formal training at all in addiction recovery! No social worker. No therapist. No profesionall counseling. No nothing! Absolutely no support is offered, except being around other boys, many of whom were terrible influences for our son. So what ends up happening is our son, like many of the other clients, spent months playing video games, watching TV and wasting time without counseling or guidance to address his underlying addiction. Second, the food the kids end up eating is atrocious. The "chef" makes extremely simple and mass produced food and only for dinner and only some nights. The rest of the time the kids eat pizza (LOTS of it), burgers and soda and other junk; whatever is cheap and lying around. Third, the drug testing is completely a joke. My son told me that many of the kids would keep using drugs and get urine from other kids to cover for them! We paid a tremendous amount of money to ensure that he is kept with kids who are clean. NOT the case. My son was surrounded by other kids who were using and it's a miracle he didn't relapse while there! Fourth, besides doling out medicines, dont expect the "staff" to have any idea about how to manage your child's psychiatric needs. If your son has any overlying psychiatric condition, the staff will be clueless. My son has bipolar and needs to be on lithium. When I spoke to the staff to ask if they were aware of my son's absolute requirement for lithium and to plead with them to ensure he gets it, I got back, "what's bipolar?" SERIOUSLY????? Again, another example of staff that just babysit and don't actually help anyone stay clean. Fifth reason, the boys are told they can't have girls over, but directly next to my son's room, another boy routinely brought his girlfriend over for a rendezvous. It's just what my soon needed.... Not being able to sleep because of the noise coming from the this guy and his girlfriend late into the night. Just another example of the frat house like atmosphere here! Last reason to stay away. There are so many better options. Sober living homes can provide real counseling, real support, real help and dont just babysit your kid while milking you of tens of thousands of dollars. I wont say the name of hte place, but our son is now in just one of those homes and is finally addressing his underlying addiction and getting REAL help. IN SUMMARY: If you want your child to be babysitted by incompetent and inexperienced staff who have no formal training in addiction recovery services while you are charged tens of thousands of dollars, the Epiphany House is just right for you. If you want somewhere that will actually help you child, keep looking; you wont find it here.

To say Alo recovery helped change my life would be an understatement. Alo recovery helped save my…read morelife. After 23 years of abusing alcohol and not dealing with my depression, I decided to check myself in to Alo. From the initial phone consultation I knew I had made the right decision. They had a driver named Mike who met me at the airport and helped ease my mind and answered my many questions on the drive to Malibu. Once I got to the Alo detox house over looking the Pacific Ocean, I was put at ease by the friendly staff and councillors, ( many of whom had some experience with recovery themselves). This was an extremely emotional time for me as I realized I would be getting to the core of my problems with Alcohol and depression over the following month, but not once did I feel it unsafe to discuss any and all topics with the amazing staff, therapists and psychologists. At the next phase my lodging was in a giant mansion with all the amenities including a pool and 24 hour staff on call to help with any issues. There was an absolute dream team of chefs who made all types of delicious meals to suite any and all dietary restrictions. Can't say enough good things about how well I was fed throughout my stay. The daily programming covered a wide variety of courses and the group discussions were where I found some of the most comfort and solidified some great friendships with other clients. Jared and Evan have created an amazing thing down there in Malibu and I hope they are aware of the impact they've had on many lives, including mine. All I can say is thank you, from the bottom of my heart to all the staff, councillors, and therapists at Alo House. I just received my 3 month chip ( the longest duration of sobriety I've had in 23 years) and Im slowly getting my life back in order. If you are thinking about recovery, please do yourself a favour and reach out the the team at Alo House. You won't regret it!

Everyone there was very nice and made my friend and I feel right at home. It's on the second floor above the Fresh Corn Grill so it wasn't too hard to find. As we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly pup. We removed our shoes as everyone else had, and entered the main room. There was plenty of tasty breakfast goodies to snack on as folks introduced themselves. The space was clean and smelled of sage which felt rejuvenating. We met the owner, Cory, who invited us to a sound bath session. Some of the folks sitting at the tables let us know to bring tissues... I was not expecting to need them and did not wear waterproof mascara that day, I still grabbed the tissues and went on. The sound bath room was equipped with comfy pillow like seats on the ground. The room had acoustics that transformed me into state where I felt like my seated body was one with the music. As the sounds continued I felt a deep connection with myself that I could not describe, which made me glad I listened and grabbed those tissues. I am thankful for Cory and the staff here, that sound bath was the best thing that's happened to me all year. It was better than any meditation or reiki session out there. I cannot thank you all enough. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health or addiction and in need of help unlocking those feelings to unblock your spirit, this is the place for you. Cory and team will help you find the version of yourself you've been looking for and help you release any feelings that may have been constipating your soul.

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!

The Villa is THE place to go.

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
