Top Ranked Drug Rehab Centers In Carlsbad, CA

For reasons I hope to one day understand, I have more experience with rehab facilities than most, certainly more than I care to think about. I drank alcoholically for years and had plenty of experience getting DUI’s. What I didn’t have was the self-honesty to accept I had a problem. After 12 years of trying with little success, the team at Present Moments moments helped me learn how to live an honest, sober life. It honestly didn’t happen on the first try for me, I’ve been met with a warm welcome back to PM more than once. Sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly - that’s what the Big Book of AA says. Today, with five years of sobriety, my life is beyond anything I ever dreamed could be mine. I took my 29 year old daughter to detox for heroine addiction for the first time at 15! She has been to 100’s of treatment facilities in the last 14 years, but can’t stay clean. Sometimes quickly, sometime slowly. My experience with her in the 3 years before she turned 18 was that maybe 1 in 10 treatment facilities can be trusted or has any integrity. Present Moments is the 1 in 10 without any doubt. Ask my 25 year old son what he thinks of PM, he’ll say they saved his life too. It’s a long story, but my son ended a 7 year daily 1/5th of vodka habit earlier this year, checked into PM with a 4.1 BAC I might add for color, spent 30 days there and just celebrated 6 months as a sober man. He says he was existing before, PM and Alcoholics Anonymous showed him how to live. In an industry full of ‘money first, care second’ and ‘one size fits all’ treatment centers, Mark and Amy put care first and somehow find a way to figure the rest out. I learned how to live a sober life in 6 months at the PM sober living house. I learned how to get honest and accept that I’m an alcoholic in 5 weeks at PM recovery. Amy even created a new supervisory program for me to get ongoing care and comply with a court order while living at home for 5 months. That’s what I mean by ‘figure the rest out.’ My sober son who now works at a local treatment facility, is a miracle that started at PM. My entire amazing life started with lessons I learned and help I received from the people at Present Moments Recovery. PM is a rare example of clinical excellence, unquestionable integrity, individualized care, and creative problem solving. 6 stars out of 5 for Present Moments Recovery

This is a very thorough program covering counseling, IOPs, and housing needs. Not only do they understand the patient, they are also very well connected in the recovery ecosystem and guide you to further steps as needed. They work with your needs, and also believe in second chances (can't be grateful enough for that!). Highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to find support for a loved one.

I am very pleased with this program and how it provided the necessary treatment for my family member to become sober. It all started one weekend when I knew that my family member was sick and needed help. I didn't know where to start, so I started calling around. I had reached a couple of facilities, only to find out that they were an agent not working for that direct facility. This was super frustrating because I needed to talk to someone right away. It wasn't until I contacted Present Moments around 8 pm on a Friday night and the owner Mark picked up his cell phone. After just a few minutes, I knew this was the right place for my family member. That call alone showed me that the owner was involved and actually cared. If he did, then I figure the rest of the program would be that way too. It certainly did, and I'm glad to report that my family member has been sober ever since and is still working the AA program. I cannot say enough good things about Present Moments. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM.

The staff here are great, and have actually been in the shoes of the people they help. The rehab is very thorough and they put a lot of effort into helping clients find themselves again. The IOP they own also helped me a lot and was great because of the social aspect of it and the facilitators. The sober living itself was great, I had some troubles with people stealing my food, which were eventually kicked out.

I was in By the Sea , from early 2021. I have a life today that started with seeking help. The guidance of BTS made it possible and showed me the patience to grow in sobriety and I still have there support today. I'm super greatful to there entire team. And will always be thankful for my time with them .

Great place! Mark runs a diligent, caring, supportive, and loving home there. The guys in the house work strong programs. I highly recommend to any man looking to stay sober and work a solid program.

Nice place but counselor

Attended a group.

Really enjoy this place, dealing with the stuff is great especially when you are someone new and feeling rather out of place so uncomfortable they are very quick to make you feel at home and prioritize your situation, at least enough to where you feel more than acknowledged and taking care of.. they are very genuine and showing that they care and the results always seem to reflect that as well. This place and many of its staff have contributed in a little big part of several important factors which have been nothing short of Essentials in my daily routine, in my recovery. Help to which the quality of my life today, would simply not be possible without! I sincerely look forward to continuing to work with MHS, but most importantly, with THIS; "Escondido" location/office, and the team that holds it together (previously was with Santee office, which also provides top-tier care and case management), as I continue to advance forward with my new life, and whatever it has in-store for me. Thanks MHS! ~Respectfully, C. D. Vega

Great staff and Dr's that truly care. No waiting at all and always on time.

Dr. Miller is excellent!!!!

very professional. whether it is the staff at the office or the nursing staff. they take the time to examine you, they take pain into account and easily direct you to the relevant ecamen services. we really liked VCC at Horne st.

Food was amazing Staff was great! Very small and intimate you don’t have to worry about dealing with the extra drama that comes with large facilities. Your literally living in a mansion on the hills with a group of ppl that will quickly become your friends who comes from all over. Out of all the facilities I’ve been to this is def the best especially if your older and prefer to be around more mature individuals. There was never a strict schedule for fresh air or smoking, nor eating. The chef came in 6 days a week and your free to enter the kitchen. They had a little snatch bar as well that’s stocked full of great snacks and a fresh pop corn machine. This my stay was the winter to spring months of 2019 I’m pretty sure it prob hasn’t changed much. Oh and the rooms are amazing I never had to share a room it included a walk in closet and amazing bathroom with great vanity that I never had to share!!

If there was 10 star's, I would give to them. I was spiritually broke, and so far into my addiction. I was hopeless. Angelo and Mike were just the best. I'm not making this up!! I was nursed through detox and completed the in-patient program. Today I have hope joy and love. Not mention a bigger tummy. Beautiful pool, sauna, ping pong and plenty of literature to get you back on track. Don't be scared get the help you need they are the right people. God bless them all

After struggling with addiction, I made one of the best decisions of my life. Checked in 11-20-2021 and checked out 12-19-2021. The house was comfortable and welcoming. Watching the sunsets from the backyard was like a postcard. It was nice to have a pool and hot tub. Would have been nice to have exercise equipment. I liked the small atmosphere. The maximum clients is six. Made some great friends. The staff was amazing, minus a couple of people. My case manager was there to help me with anything I needed from filling out FMLA, filing Short Term Disability, setting up aftercare, and everything inbetween. The groups were informational. We were taught how to live a life of sobriety. The seven hour daily groups got monotonous towards the end. The therapist left some to be desired. She was very nice, but we didn't learn much about CBT or DBT. I was looking forward to having a therapist for the first time, but I only ended up getting an hour one on one session the thirty days I was there. The food was fantastic. Pete, Dom and Amy are great chefs. I gained twenty pounds! Two months sober and looking forward to many more. I highly recommend California Highlands Vistas if you're struggling with addiction.

Great staff and a great place to get clean and sober

Good rehab center

This place is predatory, as in they are money hungry and prey on addicts under the guise of helping them. They are only friendly to you when you are paying them; anytime after that, they will treat you with disrespect and intimidation. They use outdated statistical information and attempt to brainwash you into being dependent on them. While there is a lot of useful information and services they can direct you toward, this third party company is only interested in taking your money and treating you as less-than-human. In my experience, Dale Walters, the in-take coordinator and class teacher, was only friendly toward me when I was paying him money for the program. Afterward, he treated me with disrespect by insulting me in front of the rest of the class, talking to me as if I were five years old and consistently disregarding my personal space by knocking over my water bottle and saying, "oh, I don't care about anything beneath my knees." This has been my experience and I hope it helps shed light on the poor practices of this company and its employees.

Though this was a tough few days in my life, they treated me with care and respect, genuinely wanting to help me. They made an unpleasant experience much better than it could have been, and i am grateful to the professional staff that went out of their way to make all of us there comfortable

Great Hospital - Great Staff - Bomb Ribs !

I was terrified when I found out Kaiser was sending me here considering I had read the reviews on the place prior. I went in expecting for the worst to happen but to my surprise it wasn’t all that bad. It’s a hospital for behavioral care, there’s going to be restrictions and while it sucks that’s unfortunately how things work. The nurses I had were incredibly nice, everyone I spoke to seemed caring and polite which was such a relief. The only thing I have a complain about is how boring the days can be and how there’s barely any clocks to track time.
