Top Ranked Drug Rehab Centers In Altadena, CA

What can I say? My stay at Gratitude Lodge was beyond my expectations. This was my first exposure to treatment so I was nervous; nonetheless, I was treated with the utmost respect and compassion. ❤️ From the start, the house was definitely a second home for me having traveled from the Midwest. I was warmly received on the first night and settled in comfortably. So many staff members impacted my experience...from the start, Ryan, meeting my at the airport and providing sound advice for tlnext steps in my recovery, Peter for his fantastic music therapy sessions, James for his sincere commitment to my casework, Mario always for his listening skills, Trinity, Justin, Andrew...and everyone beyond.

Best experience of my sober life. I want to personally thank, Trinity, Justin, Mario, Ryan, Eli, Megan, Andrew, Lee, Kyle, James and Peter for everything and that they do. The best staff at any program I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to a bit over my fair share). They actually care, they love you and they truly want to see you succeed. A special shout out to James, for always and I mean ALWAYS being in my corner. A shoutout to Trinity for being my confidant when I felt alone in the beginning. To Peter, who listened to all my bullshit with a smile on his face and some music in the background. The best place to get sober and the best people to ever be around. Truly a sober environment, where you learn how to be sober. Not just get sober but BE sober. I’ll forever remember my time here with love, respect and of course plenty of GRATITUDE!!!!!!!

I had such a great experience here. I've been to alot of rehabs and I cant say the same for most of those. I didn't know if I wanted to come in or even be sober and James and Megan stayed out front with me for a long while, patiently helping me to make the right decision to come in and I am so glad I did. They have such a great team of people and I couldn't thank you guys enough. Shout out to James for always staying late and convincing me to not AMA lol i even decides to stay longer, you can tell he really pours his heart into his job and wants to help. Same goes for Megan and Ryan you guys are really the best.

Wow I take my health/recovery very seriously and I am a very picky person. There’s not enough characters here to describe the Gratitude and Thx I have for this organization. Top notch Case Management, Super Super Supportive Medical Staff. And Hi IQ class facilitators who bring the best to the table with each class. My Personal Therapist I have to set aside b/c She rates on The highest level possible in the best sense possible. Thank you ( T) … Five -star rating for sure

Fantastic rehab run by professionals

I'm incredibly pleased with the program here. The staff all are great people, they really care and are all in recovery themselves, which is very important to me. The facility is great. And seeing the transformation of the patients over the 30 is an experience you don't get anywhere else. Thank you to Tdcla for helping me become the person I love again.

Best recovery center. Incredibly caring staff. Everyone there is goal oriented with your health and recovery being top priority. Frans been so incredibly helpful throughout the process.

Definitely one of the best rehabs I’ve ever been too. They’re for the clients here and staff is amazing!❤️

I want to get into y'alls sober living...So you only get four stars until you make that happen!

I came to Safe Haven to get help. I really enjoyed my time while I was there. The hospitality and wonderful nature of the staff is stellar.

This is by far the best place that you can come to when you need help with addiction and or mental health issues. The owner Miss Lucy cares about each and every person that comes through the door and it shows in every thing that she does. Her daughter Miss Ellen is also an amazing woman, just like her Mother. Dr. Gary is a wizard, he is so good at what he does. The staff is also great, The Chef (Best Chef in the world), Rosy, Mary Ann, Gabby, Jeremy, Jerome. Sonny, Christian and even the driver that picked me up from the airport. I do not have the words to explain how this place has changed my whole life. If you are struggling and need help, please call Safe Haven. They will help you and treat you like a human being, with compassion, empathy and the best care. Thank each and every one of you for taking the chance on me and never looking back. Thank you Chef for all of the talks with great advice and for the amazing food! And, thank you for training the squirrels to eat out of your hand. That made my heart smile.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for this program existing. I was handled with so much care and felt so much safety and love here. I was in the lowest point of my life and from the hospital I spoke with Elizabeth and she took care of everything right away. I was on the plane the next morning. Miss Ellen and Miss Lucy treat their staff and their clients with so much care that it feels like a family. Dr. Gary is quite literally the best Therapist I’ve ever had and I’m sad that he will no longer be working with me, but I finally have the tools that I need to live a healthy happy life. I would give this place 100 stars if I could because they are that great. I’ve been to many treatment centers that I’ve been traumatizing, disorganized, and dysfunctional. I’ve accumulated a lot of trauma from some of those experiences and also wasn’t quite ready to surrender to recover recovery. The group facilitators were fantastic and everybody made my birthday in here feel very special. Thank you safe Haven. I will miss you all.

It’s not an easy choice but when you decide to get help, this is the place to go. They make sure you’re comfortable and the staff is amazingly caring.

Just a question? Why don’t you go after the opiate settlement money floating around our towns and states and ask for the money to give scholarships for people who want this but can’t afford it. Better hurry tho because they are going to either waste it on dumb crap or use it to help their cronies personally. Just saying….

☆This is a 2 year update to my comment☆ Well, I've been able to maintain abstinence from opioids still! Times have been hard: Family stress, big changes and situations that have triggered me beyond belief. Yet, I still have refused to go back to my old ways of using opiates to turn off my feelings and emotions. Truly, the treatment I received through the Waismann Method and DOMUS center continue to keep me on a path of an opiate free life. The ups and downs of life are still a struggle, as they are for everyone. But with continued therapy and support, I've managed to combat the intrusive thoughts that rise up when things look and feel impossible. I'll say it before and I'll say it again: I believe I wouldn't be here to write this review, or live this gift we call life had I not had the treatment I received. Thanks again to everyone who makes this program happen. And if you or a loved one are ready, truly ready to be free of your opioid addiction, this is it. Worth every penny and then some. *This is a 1 year edit to my comment* **Since leaving, life has not been easy. Stress, trauma and mental health have all been a major part of this recovery time. Yet, here I am, no desire to use opiates as my "off button" for stress. When intrusive thoughts of using or past use arise, Im able to shift from a longing to numb myself to a reminder of how far I've come. I want to take this time to thank the staff at Domus and those who took such good care of me at the hospital. It wasn't a walk in the park, and certainly wasn't enjoyable to go through such a procedure, but I was well taken care of and made to feel as comfortable as possible. So if you're reading this, take it from someone who thought addiction WAS the only life I could know: You can do this. Sticking with aftercare has been crucial, I have some amazing practitioners but aftercare looks different for everyone. I did experience some PAWS symptoms (to be expected) about a few months after coming home. Which is why I so highly recommend some form of therapy as your transformation is slowly taking place. I felt like a million bucks when I got home, but that cloud 9 feeling slowly left as my brain continued to go through the process of degrading old neuro pathways and using new coping skills to deal with life. Rest. It's so important in my opinion to be able to rest afterwards. I felt like I wanted to run a marathon, only to realize 20 paces in that my body needs rest. Security. Again, just my opinion, but to go to Domus and then return to a life where you're surrounded by risky situations is foolish. I don't mean living in a cave, but prepare before you go. Say goodbye to the people you won't want to see. Tell them what you're doing, maybe they'll see you going for it and want to make changes for themselves. Just don't go back to tell them how clean you are, it's not worth it. It hurts to see others where we were, and can be triggering. So til next year, I wish the best to anyone considering the freedom that can come from this treatment.**
