At the end of my treatment, it was hard to leave. That's how great this facility is. The staff, accommodations and program is top tier. I'm so grateful for the help I received here. Thank you.

This place is truly something special. 11/10 would recommend! (Alumnae)

I can't thank New Directions for Women enough for the care they provided my sister during her battle with heroin addiction. From the first phone call we made, they met us with kindness and compassion, at a time when we had quite honestly lost all hope. Their focus on family involvement was pivotal, offering us support and guidance to heal together. The community atmosphere helped my sister to confront her challenges and embrace lasting change. She still has contact with some of the women she went through the program with! Today, my sister is thriving in her sobriety, thanks to the foundation laid by New Directions for Women. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of support on their journey to recovery.

It was a unique and amazing program to experience! I want to thank Derrick and Ally for always hearing me out and having patience with me. Thank you to Hans for always making sure the house was clean, organized and making me feel safe ! Thank you to Pat and Alan for making the extra efforts to making the house feel comfortable and giving us the groceries we needed or preparing us food! Overall Amazing Kind staff ! You have all really made a HUGE difference in my life and sobriety! Beautiful Home!

They really supported me on my journey to getting sober and to sobriety. Mentally, they provided me with the tools and perspective I needed to navigate challenges with clarity. Spiritually, their guidance was incredibly uplifting and helped me reconnect with my sense of purpose. Physically, their expertise and personalized approach left me feeling energized and healthier than I have in years. What truly sets them apart is the genuine, holistic care they provide. You don't feel like just another client or patient; you feel deeply cared for on every level. They listened to my needs and treated me with an immense amount of respect and compassion. This experience has been life-changing."

I was lucky enough to go to this center. The staff genuinely care and go above & beyond to help clients. Most of them are in recovery themselves and understand the struggles of being an alcoholic in early recovery. Their patience and compassion are an essential component that they bring to this program.

My experience at Able 2 Change was amazing! Life changing. It really was first class. The staff was very professional and helpful. Everyone is super nice and friendly. They treat you with respect and kindness. Their integrity is of the highest level. I worked for Trader Joes for 28 years and we were proud of the quality of customer service we provided. I can for sure say that Able 2 Change has the highest level of customer service. Ten stars for sure! It feels so wonderful to be on the receiving end. Brooks is awesome! He is so helpful and friendly. He always has a positive attitude and is such a hard worker. Thank you everyone for such a wonderful journey.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Able 2 Change for their exceptional support in assisting those battling addiction and mental health challenges. I recently had the privilege of collaborating with them to guide a family member toward treatment. The admission process was both thorough and efficient. The clinical team established a meaningful connection, significantly impacting my cousin's recovery journey. Additionally, the family program provided invaluable education for our family. The alumni support has helped my cousin feel embraced while reintegrating into the community.

while being at able to change the staff made me feel at home. they really helped me on my road to recovery!

So I was here 30 years ago. (1994) Touchstones. This place changed my life at the time. Love to see all the positive reviews on here, and to know this same place is still helping young adults achieve better lives.

The staff are dedicated, professional and caring.

The Arrow House truly helped not 1, but 2 of my kids heal and come to a place of recovery. Their approach of looking at the family unit versus just the young person in treatment has given me and my family hope and the tools nessesary to rebuild the love and trust that we have for one another. Their entire team, from admissions through administration, through the family and individual therapists, the educational team, and can not count out the amazing Community Mentors and the chef all have supported me and my kiddos on the road to recovery! I forever will feel in debt to their amazing team and to the care they have given us!

I am so great full I was sent to cornerstone my case worker Maria was awesome she made sure you left with all the tools needed to stay sober. All the staff were great. It’s sad they are closing . Thank you Dr Stone and his family for 42 +years of helping so many lost souls find there way to sobriety.Enjoy your well deserved retirement.

If I could do less than one star I would. This was one of the most traumatic experiences in my life. In case you were considering going, I’ll break it down for you. The brochure boasts wraparound support such as chiropractor care, massage therapy, weight training, yoga, mindful walks (daily! which is actually not allowed) There are actually no physical advantages to this program. No weight training, mindful walks, chiropractor care, massage therapy or even yoga. Everything is based on a level system. Outings, and movement are all level based. If you get 3 restrictions (not finishing a meal) you don’t have any privileges. If you get 1, you don’t have any privileges for the following day. For yoga my first week I laid on the mat and occasionally did a stretch. Your bathroom uses are monitored, someone stands by the door with the door cracked and they check the toilet before you flush. (This happens up until level 3 to my understanding.) The staff is brilliant at gaslighting, manipulating and invalidating the residents, so much so, we had to strategize how to stand our ground. They’ll talk all day long about how it’s a voluntary program and that you’re free to leave, but once you say you want to go there’s an onslaught from many of the providers. This includes threatening of AMA and ACA, stating it’s your eating disorder that wants you to leave, or simply minimizing your experience and gaslighting you to believe it’s not as bad as you think. Example; I was fed wheat, and I have a gluten sensitivity. The dietician and clinical director minimized and invalidated my experience by saying it was human error, it was only once and it’s only a sensitivity. Wheat makes me feel really ill, and I expressed that concern to every staff member and to the staff BEFORE admittance as well!! I understand mistakes happen, but I’m at an eating disorder program. Mistakes should NOT happen in regards to food. (Also, there were only 5 of us. How hard is it to feed 5 people). I’m not going to speak on other peoples behalf, but there were multiple “mix ups” or misunderstandings with other residents as well. Most of the staff felt incredibly unsupportive. We were treated like toddler inmates. I felt like I was just a number on a paycheck to most of them. On my last day, leaving ACA, only one RC was kind to me and encouraged me. (Shoutout Ruby) On my second day there, because I felt so ill (not entirely convinced they weren’t giving me wheat the whole time) and was talking to an RC about how sick I felt talking about the previous meal. She told me it wasn’t an option to not talk about it and that that specific behavior would be challenged. Obviously I’m there to challenge my eating disorder. But on my second day, only my first lunch there, to say that my feelings were immediately invalidated made me sob. On my first morning, I was crying so hard I was heaving. I went to throw up but the nurse wouldn’t hand me the trash can. She said if I threw up it would be marked as a behavior in my chart. I felt more supported and encouraged by the other residents than I ever did from the staff. Residents say it’s impossible to get to level 3. I personally don’t think they want you to get to level 3 because the longer you’re there the more money they get. IF you decide to go, these are some question to ask PRE admission. (These are all questions I wish I knew to ask.) How long does it take to move levels? Explain in detail the level system. Explain in detail the contract system. Explain in detail the “consequences”. Explain in detail, what types of movement I’m allowed to partake in, and reasonings of why and why not. Why does the brochure boast physical advantages such as chiropractor care, massage therapy and movement, when those are not actually involved in their residential care? Explain in detail, the different forms of therapy, how often they’re provided and by what providers. Explain the roles of the RC’s. Many of the RC’s relished their power. Ask about exposures, and how often they happen. Good luck!

Choosing Casa Recovery was truly the best decision I have ever made. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. The staff go above and beyond in every possible way — their compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched. They truly see each client as an individual and tailor their approach to meet your unique needs. The level of care here is exceptional. Every therapist, case manager, and support team member works together to create an environment that feels safe, encouraging, and filled with hope. The program is thoughtfully structured, balancing therapy, education, and holistic wellness in a way that promotes real, lasting change. What stood out most to me was the sense of community — not just from the staff, but from the other clients as well. Everyone is on their own journey, yet the support and understanding that flow through this place make healing feel possible and real. Casa Recovery doesn’t just help you get better — they help you rediscover yourself. I am deeply grateful for my time here and for the people who made such a positive impact on my life. If you’re considering treatment, look no further. Casa Recovery is a place of true healing, and it changed my life for the better.

This place really is unlike any other recovery center. The staff here really makes you feel at ease. My experience with Desert View Recovery was unmatched and because of them I have the confidence and mental strength to live the rest of my life sober!

Great place to get back on track in life, personnel’s is really understanding and are always willing to help out. Shout out to Torrey and all the people that come see us and support us.
