THANK U EVERY ONE WHO WORKS THERE YOUR ALL SHINING STARS,FOR US TO SEE!!!

Jackson House is an amazing place! Everything about it is awesome! The counselors, clients., food, and the house itself are magic!!! It works If you work it.

By far the best program in all of San Diego. Full of knowledgeable and experienced counselors and all around great staff. This place is clean, beautiful, comfortable and safe. If you or anyone you know who might be struggling with alcoholism and/or addiction. This is the place.

This place has helped to change my life. The staff are amazing, the program is perfect, and the counselors are well informed and educated. I felt very heard, and cared for.

This was my first time getting sober, and after battling a 7-year addiction, I was ready for a change—but I had no idea what to expect from a treatment center. I was scared and unsure. From the moment I arrived at Soledad House, the staff welcomed me with warmth and compassion. On my first day, the administration helped calm my fears and made me feel safe and supported enough to begin my recovery journey. What truly sets Soledad House apart is that they don’t just focus on substance abuse—they focus on rebuilding self-worth, which was something I didn’t even realize I needed. The care here is deeply personal and intentional. Today, I’m 9 months sober and proud to be an employee at Soledad House. I’ve learned to love myself again and have gained valuable tools for how to navigate life and handle challenges in a healthy way. The therapists and staff—especially Lauren, Sara, Ashlee, Neetra, and Michelle—are truly a godsend. They genuinely care, and it shows in everything they do. I can’t say enough good things about Soledad House—it changed my life

I never in my life would think I’m here in San Diego “LIVING MY BEST LIFE!!!!!.. Soledad has made it possible for me to have 7 months of sobriety today! .. the staff mainly Sara who made me get through the hardest time in my life .. Leaving my family and friends to start over and now I can’t ever think of living anywhere else.. Thank you Soledad!!❤️❤️

Kind and competent staff and doctors. Clean lobby and exam rooms

This clinic has been absolutely great since my return to San Diego in 2016; OUTSTANDING Service and I salute them!!!

Clean facility and friendly and attentive health care professionals.

Great place for recovery

This is a good place to go to get your life goals back on track it gives you the tools to cope with life. But its all up to you if you want to change.

I wanted to leave this long review with the hope that someone at the center would take it seriously and learn from it. To begin, I gained entry to this program because a doctor recommended me. And honestly? It was the best thing to happen to me that year. The staff is friendly and kind, and they will connect you to lots of resources. That said, there is always room for improvement. For the record, I was homeless when I entered this program (I’m not anymore) due to having lost my job during CO VID. I am an educated woman with a BA in English literature and a survivor of long term narcissistic abuse. My criticism of Balboa Crisis Center is that they don’t enforce the rules! Clients are supposed to attend groups, participate in chores, and respect other people’s food in the fridge. I had a roommate who did the exact opposite and was allowed to stay in the center for a very long time, instead of being kicked out as she should have been. One day she became randomly angry at me and started stealing my food out of the fridge. By this point I realized she was a narcissist – as in, she had full blown NPD – and had imagined some insult from me against her, which narcissists are known to do, often because they are projecting. When I told the staff about this, nothing was done. So I did what I could to minimize the situation by avoiding my roommate as much as possible and asking to be moved to another room. What the staff should have done was exit VICTORIA from the program, instead of allowing her to stay, steal food, shirk chores, and claim a bed that someone else needed more. I was allowed to stay a long time myself, but the end of my stay was coming, and I would be homeless on the street again. I was very upset about the prospect, and Victoria knew this. As I walked past her in the kitchen, she sarcastically said “Bye!” as a passive aggressive way of mocking me for being homeless again soon. This is how narcissists operate, through plausible deniability. I couldn’t prove that she was mocking me because she had been passive aggressive about it. It was covert abuse. Suddenly sick of always attracting narcissistic bullies into my life, I wheeled back around and asked her what was wrong with her. I think it was at this point that she realized she may have IMAGINED whatever she was mad at me for. She started insisting that she meant nothing by it,that she was just saying goodbye (lies). Things escalated to the point that I picked up a cup from the table and threw it at her. I was sick and tired of narcissists. I’ve been abused by a LOT of them and they are drawn to me because I’m quiet, shy, and a loner, the perfect candidate for covert abuse. Well, not anymore. Everyone acted like I was crazy and imagined Victoria’s behavior, but I know the truth. She stole from me and made me do her chores for weeks, then had the gall to mock me about being exited, and when I finally snapped, tried to make herself out to be the victim. Classic narcissist behavior. And since the staff is made up of psych students, I hope they read this and learn something about narcissists. So on top of being in a crisis (homelessness), I put up with abuse from narcissistic Victoria AND bullying from some of the women on staff, women who were jealous, petty, and insecure. It was a lot to deal with at the time, and with Victoria actively provoking me, it's no wonder I finally snapped. Did anyone there see me with empathy at all? You know, as a human being with feelings? Either way, I am still grateful to Balboa Crisis Center and I hope they take steps to prevent something similar from happening in the future. Yes, this is Ashley. =)

Excellent program. Staff are professional, compassionate and understanding. This is a great place to stabilize and find a positive direction in life. There are two staff that stand out above the rest. Dave and Hunter are outstanding staff who go beyond the call of duty to help clients. They are client centered and truly care. Thank you both for making a positive difference in clients life's. Thank you for all your help ❤️

My 21 day stay at vista balboa. I came here not expecting anything. Didn't know what a crisis house was and certainly have never been to one . I came in lost, broken and defeated. The staff( clinicians, peer support, managers, nurses, assistant director) welcomed me with open arms. I felt like I was at home during my stay here. They really care and that is so important when working with mental health. I had a beautiful experience, I got my life back and I know that it wouldn't have been possible with the staff that work here. Thank you♥️

They are a great community service and I was glad to have them! I really 💕 Dr Hazelbaker. It's hard to get in when you need to. And they seem sometimes to mess up my payment methods and confuse and scare me but the care is great.

Gabriella,Claudia, Erin and Dr. Melanie here have been amazing, thank you guys for helping me when I needed it the most.God bless you guys

It's a convenient location if you live Downtown!
