Best Rancho Palos Verdes, CA Drug Rehab Centers

If you are like me, you have been tirelessly researching online or calling various sober living facilities - feeling heartbroken, lost, desperate, and confused - all while facing a decision which would directly impact the livelihood of a loved one. No pressure, right? My family member had just completed rehab outside of Los Angeles and needed a sober living facility with good and honest people to help them adjust back to “real life.” All I knew at this point in my search is what I wanted for them. I was looking for a sober living facility where they would have focus on the program, be given the direction and guidance of counselors with care, be introduced to meetings around LA, all leading up to the goal of steering them back to a healthy and positive life. The real (and scary) answer is these places are hard to come by. I unfortunately saw that first-hand. Now to get to why I NEEDED to write this review. Nexus. 5 letters that make up a word I want to shout from the rooftops with such profound gratitude. Yes, my family member chose to do the work, take it seriously, make it a priority in their life, but it is also about who you surround yourself with. Nexus gave my family member a community bringing people into our lives which have changed it for the better. Nexus gave my family member counseling which has opened them up to realizing their true potential without the need of drugs or alcohol – they are just grateful to be walking in their shoes sober. And one of the most important attributes of Nexus you may ask? Those that run the program. Halim, Johnnie, Rob, and Dano. I will never forget the first night I talked to Halim. And I say “talked” as if it was only one time. We spoke at least 10 times and he was a savior. He picked my family member up from somewhere where they were drowning and brought them to the Playa house. I was in a different state and was powerless but Halim was there. How could I have been more fortunate? I am forever indebted to the people that work at the Playa house (house manager, supervisors, techs, case managers, drivers) and the program Nexus has brought to our lives. Nothing is more important to me then family, and Nexus gave me my family back.

I was stumbling around the barren wasteland of treatment centers desperate enough to buy the guise of empathetic adversaries stating they care for you promising water and nourishment only to be a mirage in the futile landscape (south Florida). So I showed up on a rainy day in Los Angeles and was greeted by great staff, met my therapist Melissa (amazing person and professional) and started group therapy. Delena, a group therapist at Nexus, is a god send and at this point I believe she might literally be an Earth Angel that brings light to all of the darkness that we think we believe when we get sober. I started to have hope for my future and felt like the impossible was now possible. Somewhere in the mix I met Kurt (another group therapist) I don’t know what exactly he does or how he does it... but he changed my life because I was always seeking answers to questions unattainable or that others never had the capacity to answer... but the best way to talk about Kurt is to not talk about Kurt and let people experience spirituality on THEIR terms! All the staff is wonderful shout out to UA Nick. Big Jeff will help you with all of your outside stuff legal, work ect but also knows what he is talking about in recovery and in spirituality. Halim Daniel is the go to guy for pretty much anything. He holds his staff just as accountable as the clients. Lastly, I’d recommend this place for anyone serious about recovery. The best testimony comes from clients and past members and what stands out to me is that a lot of past members are still sober or clean. We are all pretty close too. If you are fed up with the treatment industry I understand how you Feel. There is real solution and hope here and more than that to me is the amount of love ❤️

When my 19 year old son completed residential treatment I began the search for an outpatient program that could supplement his sober living. From the very first phone call to Nexus I knew we had found the right place. The initial contact was loving, warm, and encouraging which was exactly what I needed in those early days of his sobriety. Over the course of his seven months at Nexus those same traits from that first phone call grew and worked magic on my son. I can’t know what happened daily or even weekly at Nexus, but I know the changes I saw in my son. The young man he was destined to be was awakened and nurtured by Nexus. They kept me informed along the way and I was able to participate in a wonderful family program weekend. Today my son is in college and living a productive life. We both credit Nexus for providing him the space, support, insight and love he needed to move into this next chapter. I am forever grateful to the staff at Nexus.

Un lugar excelente un trato excelente y el personal de lo mejor

I remember going to Socorro kicking and screaming but mandated from my parole. I humbled myself. I completed my program in 2009 16yrs ago. I'm proud to say ,I'm still clean and sober and living a amazing life! Socorro rocks!! Thank you Mary and Tatiana

I ran away from Socorro on one of our trips to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. I was spooked the 1st night I spent there because I heard a lot of whispering and that scared me straight. Other than that I’m sure it is an excellent place for treatmeant.

This place is like a paradise away from home. Very respectful and caring staff in the recreational facilities. Bernardo chief of security gave me one of the most insightful tours. Alma at the aquatics center educated me on the proper steps on getting certified lifeguard, cpr and AED in the state of California. Very hospital and patient. This veterans hospital has to be either 1st place or in close competition with other locations.

Excellent care at WLA V.A., proud to say that!.. The nurses are 5 Star too... Alan G. Burch USMC Proud Veteran...🇺🇸💪🏽

Cleanest, friendliest & most modern VA hospital I have ever visited since 1975!!

How's the food can't wait to go thanks Fred brown

I absolutely love there services

This place is awesome! They help my brother obtain sobriety after 40 years of using drugs. I wish they had more programs modeled after this recovery program.

The beacon house let me in with open arms all I had to be is willing to go any lengths over victory over alcohol. They taught me the tools for recovery with solid teachers, group countries, the groups open the door of what I needed to work. They gave me a spiritual tool kit which I took the action and got amazing results. I've been 3 years sober and still applying what I was taught and the house and now living my life on life's terms.

All around good place if you want to be around good energy and recovery oriented people. I cant tell you how it is today but back in 2015 it was the most amazing FREE rehab ID ever been too. They took us on trips into the montains, to the beach, had cookouts for us, the whole 9! Hopefully its still going strong. 5/5

Pretty good place

I came to deal with Orange County Recovery as a parent of a child. The staff at Orange County are the best. They provided me with the best advises and felt like I am dealing with family who really care. They are available 24x7 to answer my questions and address my concerns and help me every step of the way and provide excellent professional advises on how to help my child through recovery. I am forever grateful to Orange County Recovery for their assistance to our child and to us as the family of the patient. Special thanks to Amber Knight and Leitta; they are the best! I strongly recommend Orange County Recovery!

Excellent staff and friendly environment. Recovery has become possible because of their help!

When I was in both my Master's and Bachelor's programs we were taught the importance and benefits of evaluating treatment. Working at Orange County Recovery is unique especially in that we use a program called FIT, Feedback Informed Treatment. This is the only rehab I have ever seen take an honest look at what we are doing right and wrong so that we can provide honest and appropriate treatment for each individual client. We are not afraid to take an honest look at ourselves and let the clients play an even bigger role in their recovery. How refreshing!

In late 2022 thru early 2023 , I was in a dark place in my life . LAOP introduced me to one of the best therapists there is. Juliette helped me eliminate the darkness I lived in . Attending LAOP, I learned so much about life and the importance of seeking help. I will forever be grateful for this place! Thank you so very much !

I can only speak for myself, but going here was a great experience overall. The highlight of this place for me was the therapist Julie who pulled it all together. If she's gone now, I would probably dock another star as the rest of the staff was a mixed bag in terms of organizing. Despite this, everyone was caring and understanding, and this felt like a very safe space to tackle some difficult issues, so I cannot really fault the atmosphere. It is a new center, so it certainly did feel like a work in progress, and the management was going through a transitional period. And there were some uncertainties with coverage which certainly left an anxious taste, albeit the staff did help resolve this in the end. Overall this was a very homey experience, and I don't think there are many facilities like this around. I sincerely hope this place continues to operate and be there for others, and help them as it helped me. Thank you LAOP for all you've done for me.

I've been visiting Los Angeles Outpatient Center for years and these guys really helped me heal and find myself!

I love this place the staff helped save my life I was homeless for 30 years and they helped set my foundation I've been clean for 6 years and now I have my own place I would recommend it to anyone

I was inpatient for 36 days at Centinela hospital, and MaMa Doreen and Rachel were my admissions counselors. I stayed in the backhouse for three months after graduating and moved onto the sober living facility on 54th. Street until I got 18 months into my sobriety and moved to Anaheim,CA for a FED-Ex job. I've adopted four children, have 2 great granddaughters, 3 granddaughters, and 3 grandsons. I also have a BS Degree and 3 AS degrees. The house gave this stubborn alcoholic a chance, when I really didn't believe there was ever any hope for my drinking. I'm so grateful, and won't ever forget here I cam from. Thank you Marie Bowen......................

First time in rehab. And I had my 15 month old daughter with me as well. It was a really good program they treated us soo good. The staff is amazing and very hands on to. Accommodate my needs but moreso my daughters. The groups were very informative and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this program to any woman who needs the care. Hands down. And. Since leaving there n may of 2023 I have claimed my life back 100%. I am in my own place with not just my daughter but my other 3 children as well still sober and living my best life . Thank u Soo much mini house. Staff. Without ur help. Idk where my life would be.

The most amazing and professional staff I have ever witnessed! Witnessing the growth in everyone is a blessing.
