One of the best all around BEST programs out there. They Will take top notch care of you on all levels, with your recovery, medication (if needed) and spiritually as well. But what separates TRUVIDA apart and above the rest is the Fact that the culture and atmosphere there is beyond great. With that not just being my opinion its their reputation as well. I highly recommended at least their 90 day program because they really know how to help, when to help, and when to give you space. Also you'll have more fun here then you've ever had because as well and truly heal because there is an instant sense of acceptance and brotherhood the moment you enter the front door and then on top of that they have things set up still so that you're not just having 24\7 you're still working on yourself with the GREAT groups they have planned for you. And not to mention the staff is just remarkable and very compassionate and sincere with wanting to help you any way they can. For example, there is 3 to 4 Staff I want to mention by name because of what they've done for me. starting with Gabe hes the one you go to for any issues with your recovery or medication or any household needs or wants you might have. Because if he cant fix it himself he will help you find a way that you can. Not to mention he is a great wisdom holder the recovery process and has always been a sincere and great help and friend who knows how to run a tight ship but have the crew not see as a boss but a great leader, So-to-speak. Gary... Gary I cant say enough about because hes the coach in your corner, and a true friend that you wish you met earlier on in your life because he truly cares about everyone here, and then also he is a good leader for myself, my group, anywhere else he goes I'm sure as well. But he has always and will always understand how to make you feel loved, and also help you learn how to love yourself again. Which has been HUGE for myself. There many staff members here from your day to day nurses to group leaders and staff and I wish i could mention everyone, but ill end with Dave and Anthony. Dave I have never seen the guy not smiling, he enters a room and always wants to shake your hand and truly ask how you're doing and you can also feel his sincerity and that for me has always brightened even the worst day I might've been having. Then last but not least Anthony, Anthony is close in age to myself so he can always relate to me and the younger guys here very well with any topic we might be discussing and that's shown me how the things we learn here aren't out dated at all because hes of my generation and has used the tools here to make himself into an outstanding example and all around awesome young man. If you go anywhere else besides here the might have some of the things I mentioned but TRUVIDA truly has the "Whole Package" and they definitely know what they're doing. read more

personally have been to 5 treatment "programs" from Passages at Malibu to some not worth naming. Addiction is like a heart attack and needs to be treated that way. Truvida understands this and treats patients with integrity, love, patients. The residential team members at my home, yes "home" because they treat you like family not a paycheck. Jeff, Shawn, Stephon, John, Gabriel, Adrianna, Damarias, and Cindy. I consider my Brothers and Sisters. They truly are Angels. The Clinical Directors and Owners need a standing ovation . Brenna the operations Leader of this organization, has put one of the best technical staff, no the Best technical team I've been cared for in any other program. With out making you feel like your in a bubble. The clinical staff is amazing from Jill with the bio feed back(AMAZING), to Andrew with the sound bath. Jamie gets it, her holistic approach makes the most of your recovery odds and not with the attention of big pharmacy. The belief of the body,soul, heart, mind, can heal it self of the injuries are addressed. From fixing our bodies to our relationships so that the chance of a full recovery is possible with out the possibility of relapse. She truly has a makes sense approach. The clinical team she put together hands down and hats off To you; Owners and Jamie . With the corruption and filth that Plagues this industry, Truvida is a breath of fresh air. It's not surprising they have all 5 Star reviews. The Best in the industry's new my opinion. Don't walk here, run to recovery at Truvida. If you truly want to be Healed or cured don't overlook this program. Thank you for the keys to life back Truvida. You truly saved my everything ! Sincerely, Scott McIntyre CEO McIntyre Corp. Not affiliated with Truvida except a patient. Call me if you have any questions 719-453-6968 As far as the review left bye Johnathon G. I was born again Christian in this program after committing spiritual suicide 7 years ago. There is no particular religion in this program. You are what you are and there are absolutely no judgments there. Spirituality is what they teach and heal. I spoke with all the clinical staff and all that I spoke with were believers that Christ died on the cross for our sins so that we could have a relationship with him. Religion may fall into that category but that's up to the patient to Decipher. So I think a one star review is inappropriate for one sub category of the wholeness of this incredible program. If you are closed minded and are looking for Nothing but religion in your treatment you completely missed your miracle. I'll be praying for you. read more

The environment at this treatment center is very living, caring, and inspirational. I've gone through treatment at a different facility, worked in treatment, and visited other facilities for 12 step work and the kind of love and understanding the staff here shows here is unlike what I've seen at other facilities. The support staff in detox and residential, the ones that have the most interaction and influence on the clients while we are there to remind us there's a better way to live, were very patient and respectful individuals that if I met outside of my circumstances I would want to keep as friends for life. The group facilitators understand where everybody is at on their journey. They motivate and try to inspire everybody to follow whatever path, as long as it's healthy, it is that will lead them to long term sobriety. Even when you move up the ladder the managers and directors of different parts of the program,the same speaks true. I can say for certain that the people that work here do not stay here just to pay the bills. There is a true desire to help us change our thoughts, behaviors, and actions from the way we used to live to a healthier sustainable way to live. 12 step recovery programs such as AA and NA are suggested but SMART recovery is also taught here as means to sustain long term sobriety after leaving. Regardless of whatever avenue each client wants to take after leaving TruVida the staff here is supportive and tries to equip them as best as they can with tools to rely on to help them work through any tough times they are going to encounter. The therapists are great here too. They offer EMDR to help clients work through unresolved past trauma that may be keeping them from achieving long term sobriety. I meet with a case manager and LMFT every week to resolve my issues of what happened to cause my last relapse and what I can do differently next time. If I have anything come up in my life that I need help with I can reach out to either of them even when I'm not at the center and they help me through what's going on. I would highly recommend this treatment center to anybody that wants to get sober and stay sober. Everybody is here for the right reasons. read more

This place mistreated me, A combat veteran with struggling with PTSD and mental health. I would give this place negative stars if I could. I was referred to Truvida Recovery by Veteran Affairs. The purpose of the referral was to participate in a Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT). However, the facility did not offer it, despite having said so on their website. The staff member pulled up the website in front of me and was confused to why it offered veterans services. A staff member also referred to themselves as "glorified babysitters." None of the staff were licensed and were all former addicts. The place was dirty and the Patients DID NOT wear masks. Being that this place could not offer me the treatment I required, I asked to leave. I wasn't going to waste my medical leave on a place that did not offer what I seriously needed. They must not have liked this because they were not going to get paid. They kicked me out at midnight in the cold with my wet laundry. I couldn't put on a sweater even if I wanted to, and I did, I was freezing. They didn't allow me to have my cellphone to I couldn't arrange transportation until I was already in the street, AT MIDNIGHT. One of the staff member claimed to be a fellow veteran and related to me, only to kick me out later that night with out a second thought. DO NOT go to this place, they only care about the money and not of the patients. They mistreated me, A combat veteran of war. They are A$$holes and should be ashamed. Go to a place that has standards and licensed staff. Not this piece of $hit facility. read more

This is by far the best Treatment I've been through, all around fantastic, from start to finish, it's 5 stars for sure. Starting with who you talk to first, the admissions department, they are so friendly, honest, and welcoming of you from the first phone call you make to them. They help you with anything and everything you could think of! Then once you get to the detox house, I couldn't have asked for a better staff to be there for me. You can tell that they genuinely care about you and your well being, from morning shift, to evening shift, and even the overnight shift, everyone is just amazing! This place really shows you how to have fun in sobriety, as soon as you're off detox they take you out to the beach and on group outings and to various meetings in the area and thats very refreshing and great for being early in sobriety! Once you move up to iop and sober living then that's when this place really gets even better, the group's at iop are phenomenal and the sober livings are very well kept and everyone generally gets along and always has a good time! I have met so many great people going through this program, people that I can rely on today, people that I call my family. TruVida will do their best to help you anyway they can as long as you show love and respect towards them and put forth an effort towards recovery and sobriety. I wouldn't have changed a single thing while going through this program! read more

I've been to other treatment centers, and experienced different therapist, psychologists, and forms of help. For what Truvida has given me in 50 days of service, I feel gratefully indebted to the staff members always being understanding, courteous, kind and welcoming. They treated me so bad on my first day, I was forced to get in a warm jacuzzi and forced to relax for the first time in my life! Anything I ever thought I wanted or needed, the next day appeared with a smile. They supplied prescription glasses to me when my VA glasses were lost in the mail. Before coming to Truvida, I was on narcotic pain medications and physical therapy twice a week and I was able to give this up through the meditation, breathworks, yoga, sound bath and other activities offered at Truvida. Ashley my therapist has helped me immensely with her EMDR machine, and after 20 years of traditional therapy, I have finally received the help I needed. You are welcomed to the center with an Aussie smile and a warm hug. All the staff here are awesome, special thanks to Chris, Ashley, Cindy, Michael, John, Angie, Rickey and everyone else. read more

Brian D. The Truvida Recovery program was excellent and saved my life! Their team truly cares about their clients and enjoys providing exceptional treatment.

I have never posted on yelp before in my life. Coming from a fresh and unfamiliar place of clarity in my head, i felt i should share my experience on this one. I honestly don't think this rocky journey of mine would be where it's currently at now, without the staff this spot has here. More comfortable connection than I've ever had in my life. The housing facility is super clean, our chores are simple and very minimal. Both the girls and guys housing comes from a structure of healing, and it feels, and it shows. First day i came in with wetted eyes and clenched fists, day 17 here i never imagined how much my comfort zone has transformed. If you're reading this, you know somebody or yourself coming from a mean place of addiction, i can attest that this program has provided me with the heart and the tools never offered to me before. Good luck to the beautiful new friends i didn't expect to make in here man. And a solid loud shout-out to my boy, Allen and all the amazing ladies. Candace, Kat, Sam, Beatrice, Ally, Brenna, and the rest of the crew. I will never forget you read more

i've been at truvida for 25 days, and i can personally tell you that if you want a place that you'll feel completely safe and secure knowing your loved ones are taken care of this is the place. Brenna, Chris, Theo, Jesse, Anne, Leah, Jeff, and my boy Paul make your experience in early recovery very helpful and mind breaking easy for the recovery phase. excellent detox staff that care about your well-being and transition into your next level of care. food is excellent and always readily available for your consumption. the res houses, have staff that are also in recovery with years backing their heart warming comforts, such as Shawn, lil Jon, Allen and Cindy, always readily available for any needs you may need. truvida has really helped me with my self-worth and ability to come out of my shell that i've buried deeply with years of drug addiction. the aussie receptionist truly is a mom away from home that is so heart felt you almost feel like a family away from home, if you never had a family such as myself truvida is a family that you can count on to have your back. read more

My TruVida Family. That's what I call the staff that work at this treatment facility. Over a year ago I entered their program a broken, and defeated drug and alcohol user of all types. My addiction was one that took me through 50 years of ravaging my family,friends and coming to the end of myself. I was led to Truvida through a vetrans program, and it truly transformed my life. From the staff, program directors, group facilitators, I was treated with respect, care and kindness. What most influenced the change in my life this environment provided, was the nurturing of a spiritual awakening I never had. It's called LOVE. Love of myself and love of giving and helping others. This program and all those apart of it really care that you establish a life worth living to the fullest. They really became family to me, so much so that, I became part of the team and work with the "family" helping others become the the beautiful people they truly are ment to be. The Truvida program will be the best decision you will ever make in becoming serious about your life. read more

Beyond excellent program, you won't find better. I owe everything to TruVida Recovery. They gave me hope for a better life and, even better, they taught me how to love myself again. This program is second to none when it comes to staff-client relationships. TruVida staff have compassion and care for their clients like no other. They go above & beyond any expectations to help. I can say my overall TruVida experience has saved my life. If your life has gone to a tough, dark place then I HIGHLY recommend TruVida Recovery. They bring the light back into troubled lives and provide guidance like you wouldn't believe. I would rate every aspect of this program as an A+. The food is great. The staff is amazing. Their facilities are high quality. They care more about the success and lives of the clients than making money. I couldn't imagine going through another treatment program and getting the results I did. read more

I can say without a doubt that without TruVida I would still be lost in my addiction. The staff are all family, and all of the clients are family as well. They treat you like a human being here on top of the top notch care that they provide. I was never forced to do anything I wasn't comfortable with and they really get to know you on an individual basis, something that other treatment centers I feel lack. This place gave me the tools I need to get my life back on track and to become a better person. I got to know myself at TruVida, I learned so much from everyone here. I am heartbroken to have to leave but I know deep in my heart TruVida will continue to help others like myself who are still suffering in their addiction. If you are like me I can say with confidence that you should come to TruVida to seek help. TruVida truly saved my life, and they can save yours too. read more

This was my first time in treatment and I had no idea what to expect. In doing my research of the rehab industry, I heard all kinds of horror stories. This experience couldn't be further from any of those. The admissions team makes the experience personal. Their knowledge and patience throughout the process was invaluable to me. The program itself is tailored to your needs. No matter the situation you're going through, they are willing to go above and beyond to make sure you get what you need. The staff is incredibly patient and giving both of their time, knowledge and experiences. They actually care! Both the facilities and food were incredible. They actually had me wanting to stay longer, just to take advantage of being there. I consider myself very fortunate to have ended up at TruVida. I can't thank you enough! read more

My name is Keith, I am a veteran that came to Truvida with a lot of problems in my life. I came here an alcoholic with severe ptsd and not very much hope of ever recovering. Well, I'm very happy to say that I am no longer that person. The decision to come here is by far the best decision I have ever made in my life and I am excited about my future for the first time in a long time. The program and the staff here at Truvida have been remarkable and I would suggest coming here to all those who are still suffering from the disease of addiction. Please believe me when I say that it is totally worth your time and it really does work.

TruVida is one of the best treatment centers I have been to. As soon as i arrived I could tell the staff cared about my well being. I came to Truvida after knee surgery and on crutches. For my whole stay here all the staff were attentive and helped me out and made me fell very comfortable. They took me to the hospital when I needed to go. As far as the groups go all the staff seem very knowledgeable and friendly and kept groups fun and interactive. The treatment team also talked and helped me with discharge planning so I have a good plan when I go home. I really enjoyed my stay at TruVida and would recommend it to anyone who is trying to get clean. read more

Truvida is honestly hand's down one of the best treatment centers for substance abuse and dual diagnosis in Southern California. I have been to a lot of treatment centers while in my addiction. Most places do not provide the care, groups or therapy as they advertise online. Truvida is definitely not one of those places. The success rate here is higher than most places due to the accreditations they hold, staff members working there and fellowship among the clients. I feel truly blessed to have my life back today. I owe that all to Truvida Recovery. read more
