Best Palm Desert, CA Drug Rehab Centers

I went to Kiloby for 6 months. the work they do at the center is very rewarding and changed my life. With that being said, it is a smaller treatment center with a small number of staff which results in a disorganized feeling to the program and a LOT of repeat groups which got very boring. Plus a lot of time is spent sitting around doing 'self support' because they don't have enough staff to run groups and do one on one sessions at the same time. And don't be fooled when you hear them say this is not a 12 step program; 12 step meetings are MANDATORY. and one last thing: I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEIR SOBER LIVING... unless you like sleeping in very cheap bunk beds and tight quarters with upwards of 8-9 people at a time. I am not saying I don't think this is a good program, because it is and I got a lot out of it but I think there is a lot of room for improvement from Kiloby. Give it a try if you want to try something different that really gets to the core of your issues. Update, 5 years later: After re-reading my review, and the reviews of others who have left a rating, I truly think The Kiloby Center deserves at least a 4-4.5 Star rating. On reflection, the work I did here changed my life more than any of the other programs I've been to. The comments I made about the sober living seem so trivial now.. I can honestly say, for a smaller treatment center, Kiloby did their best and still managed to make a bigger impact on my life than any other 'rehab'/program. I can't say thank you enough. this place gave me an entirely new point of view.

I'm unable to fully share in words the profound impact my experience at the Kiloby Center has had in my life. I'm so very grateful to have had the privilege of experiencing the "magic" that happens on a daily basis at Kiloby. This is truly a place of unconditional love. The tools that they offer are priceless.

The Kiloby Center was my first experience of mindfulness, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. It changed my life and I practice the living inquiries and listen to the guided meditations daily. They have caused me to realize the personality and the self is a construct and I am not stuck in my stories

Bad bad bad. All the way through. Don't drink and drive

Sadly I ended up here looking for help in anger management and parenting. And the counselors were amazing, great people. I learned a lot, mental health is an issue nowadays and I thank God for taking me to this place. Also, the ladies from the front desk were always super nice and helpful.

A wonderful place where my friend was receiving treatment. Today, we received disheartening news about the county fabricating an excuse for a delayed document to shut them down. It sounds shady, like county officials taking bribes again and shut this place down because they weren't getting paid under the table.

Very professional and courteous!

Very nice people. Non judgmental

MFI Murrieta location is absolutely amazing. Smaller facility makes it much more personal and interactive with the counselors. Always a pleasure walking in to see Mary the receptionist every week. And Joseph, my personal counselor and manager of the facility is very understanding and attentive to our needs. Rebecca the therapist and Erin the other counselor are wonderful people. They have all helped me in so many ways for the last year I have been attending. I would recommend this place to anybody is need of help and resources. The groups are helpful as well as entertaining and my peers are close to me like family. I'm so glad I came here and will never forget what this place and people did for me. Thank you MFI.

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience over the past 5 1/2 months here. The receptionist Mary while very busy is warm and welcoming. My counselor is Erin but at times I have also had the pleasure of meeting with Joseph both are extremely caring and professional and always available when you need them. I look forward to the weekly groups they both lead so much so that I even squeeze in additional groups on my days off when I can and they are always accommodating. I don’t know what I would have done without all of the support I have received from both the staff and the amazing friends I have made while attending groups! Highly recommended!!!

Excellent professional customized services improved my buddy’s life beyond expectation.

Great people. Be on time and pay your fines and you will be just fine.

This is a good outpatient program. They help you work through your problems. Even though there not in person right now. They still get alot through with video meetings.

Wonderful place wonderful people Well, my recent counselor is gone now and I don’t know if you should come back or not but I appreciate her and I appreciate obviously Jim they’re both amazing thank God I’m getting over this class and I’m moving on with my life. Thank you all for your support. Especially thank you Cindy for everything you have done to help me out thank you.

WORST PLACE "EVER' -kicked out for another client threatening to 'Kick my Teeth in, for " disrespecting' (which I did not) & instead of retaliating, &/or reacting negatively, I went to 'Mrs. Jenn' to let her know, -As we have Sun., meeting's, & Mrs. Jenn, has told us, 'Violence/Threats' etc..., Is a ZERO TOLERANCE & 'U will be discharged' no doubt. Yet, when I went to her about this, & included that Mrs. Jenn' s sister (whom lives in the house also) was present, when I was being threatened, & once again, did nothing. BIG conflict of interest/favoritism/discrimination. -As they did not care for me, from the beginning, & 'Supposedly' were finding a place 'More suitable for ME' --Which I agreed as well, but it never happened, apparently. Pray, no one EVER be put in this type of situation. -Gave me 2 Large Trash bags, to collect my thing's.. knowing I had NO WHERE to go, 3-day Holiday Weekend, in the pouring rain. & Crazy enough, I haven't relapsed, < Being at 'Peace of Mind' was anything BUT.

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.

I got help with my addiction way back in 2012 but I remember it like yesterday. A Better Tomorrow saved me and my family. My better tomorrow is now and I want to thank you again. The facility was great, the house I stayed at was really clean and the food was amazing. They wanted us to eat. I highly recommend A Better Tomorrow. I spoke to a group there on a day I went back to say thank you and I would do it again if I could
