About A Peace of Mind Sober Living – Women’s Home

The Women’s Residence at A Piece of Mind Sober Living is a halfway house for newly sober women. You can rent a room there to have a supportive environment while you navigate work, treatment and life in early recovery. They’ll take people with co-occurring mental health issues on a case by case basis.

This recovery residence has some beneficial features. It’s a 3,000 square foot home with wi-fi and free long distance calls. Their expectations are that you attend meetings three days a week if you’re working or in school and five days a week if you aren’t. There’s a Bible study in the home every other Monday if you’re interested.

They have received recognition from various sources. They’re a certified recovery residence through the Sober Living Coalition. They’re also contracted by Riverside County as a recovery residence provider. The Cal State Reentry Initiative has approved them for their program.

They have been reviewed by eight people on greatnonprofits.org, many of who gave five star reviews. Some former clients wrote that they were able to re-establish their lives while staying there.

I was 15 mins late from getting home after curfew. Don the house manager was waiting for me and as soon as I stepped in the door he tells me I have a drug test. This was alreadyFrustrating for me because it's 1015pm and I need to be up at 545am. This would not be a problem for most people but unfortunately for me my body doesn't function like most others and urinating under pressure makes it extremely difficult for me to go. I ALWAYS take around 2 hours to urinate for UA tests so I knew I would be up till midnight drinking water and then after I take the test I'll have to get up out of bed several times in the night to pee and I wasnt going to get any rest at all since I had an early morning. So I drank and drank and drank.. I called the house manager into the bathroom with me 3 different times for him to stand next to me and stare at my exposed penis while I struggled to squeeze out a drop and I just could not do it.Now, as I explained before.. this man has no social skills and is extremely unpleasant to be around and he was making it worse for me by counting down the minutes I had left until my time ran out and I was losing my temper. I asked him why it was necessary to do this to me so late at night and he replied to me "it's random so if I got you out of bed at midnight to test you would have to get your ass out of bed and piss in this cup." I was shaking with anger at this time. The final 10 minutes of the one hour time limit they gave me was spent by me with my pants down standing over the toilet praying to God that I could squeeze out just a drop of pee so I wouldnt be homeless while I had a grown man standing right beside me counting down the time I had left and when he reached the final minute he called it out like we were on a game show "one minute left!!!" And I could no longer contain my anger...Time was up.. I couldn't provide a urine sample and Jennifer the owner was on the phone and I begged her for just 15 more minutes.. I pleaded that this is my life on the line and I just needed more time and she callously said absolutely not and that I was given enough time so I hung the phone up on her. I was told to pack up my stuff and they called a Lyft for me which arrived 10 minutes later. I had no time to pack even a fraction of my things before the Lyft driver left and Don the house manager thought it was hilarious that the car left without me.. yes this man was laughing while saying "haha crazy, they just took off without you."With all of my belongings on the curb and me now broken down into tears, jenn the owner began pretending like she was concerned for me and told me to go to the sobering center and stay the night there and I could take a test there and to call her the next day. Before I left I told her that all I needed was more time... This isn't necessary.So upon arrival at the sobering center I finally have to pee and I have to pee BAD... I go in and test which of course comes back negative for everything. I blew all zeroes on the breathalyzer and they told me that they can't let me stay the night because I wasn't under the influence of drugs or alcohol so I had to use the rest of the money in my account to pay for a motel.The next next day I text Jennifer pictures of all my test results and inform her that I wasn't allowed to stay at the sobering center because I wasn't under the influence and she ignores me. I inform her that removing me from the sober living house caused me to have to pay for a motel and she ignores me. I then call her and she doesn't answer. I then have my case manager at my outpatient facility call her and she tells him that I'm not welcome back because I hung up on her and was rude which caused a scene.This incident allowed me to view what's hidden under the veil and see the disgusting charade passed off as "rehabilitation." Jenn, like many other body brokers are not in this for people's recovery. This is only a business for them and their profit is made on the backs of those seeking help.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was a sponsor to a girl here and on her last day today August 18 I was on the phone with her before the decision to discharge her over a bag of her own clothing and the way the owner Jennifer and the house manager Jamie were raising their voice towards her were inappropriate and unprofessional. I was told they hung up in her mother’s face and were giving excuses for their actions. She didn’t have any previous right-ups and was being treated differently than the other house mates. I honestly believe the way they’re running this program is illegal. Reading other reviews I can see she wasn’t the only one with this experience.

2024 was a transformative year for me, and a big part of that was due to my time at A Peace of Mind. As a first-time resident in a sober living environment, I didn’t know what to expect, but from the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed, supported, and understood. The house provided a safe and structured environment that was crucial for my recovery. The staff were compassionate, knowledgeable, and always available to offer guidance. They truly cared about my progress and went above and beyond to ensure I had the tools and resources I needed to succeed. What I loved most was the sense of community. The other residents became like family to me, and we supported each other through every step of our journeys. The group meetings, activities, and shared experiences helped me build strong, lasting connections that I know will continue long after leaving the house. This sober living house didn’t just give me a place to stay; it gave me a fresh start, hope for the future, and the strength to continue on my path to sobriety. My bed was right next to the ice cold AC and I would sleep like a baby! I always wanted to be home. I love the Old Victorian look and feel. I can’t thank the team enough for everything they’ve done for me. If you or a loved one are seeking a supportive, uplifting, and empowering environment for recovery, I highly recommend A Peace of Mind.

Anything but peaceful. The owner says it quite often and loud that she's never been addict. She is rude, has old urine tests, which a faint line is a line, period. She gives you minutes to get to a clinic because she claims it's a positive test. This is an ongoing issue which she doesn't care to help or change, her sister & her are unprofessional as the sister will yell at the top of her lungs that tests are dirty, mind you, they are all coming out with vague lines which means it's negative. They will pick & choose who they like & not like. She makes life more difficult for a recovering addict, fresh out of rehab. There was an event for the women of the house, not for the owner & her family who profit off our insurance, they were giving away prizes to the recovering women & her family took prizes from the women of the house. She will kick women out if she feels like it, not because someone is using but simply cause she can. They have rats and the dryer does not dry your clothes, you use up all your quarters just to dry a load. I don't know why it just can't be fixed? But that's just me, if you don't want to be accused of using and always going to the clinic to test, while giving you 25 minutes heads up before the clinic closes, save yourself some peace & don't go here. They don't care about your sobriety.

I really don't see how I could have accomplished all that I have thus far if not for A Peace of Mind. I've made great relationships being here, I've reintroduced structure into my life being here, as well as reached milestones in my life I otherwise may have not been able to if not for this place. I'm grateful for those who've made this place possible and for management who's perseverance keep it going. My deepest appreciation.
