This clinic has been absolutely great since my return to San Diego in 2016; OUTSTANDING Service and I salute them!!!

It’s taken me a second to post words worthy enough for this treatment center. I came to Soledad House all the way from North Carolina, never imagining how profoundly it would change my life (I originally came because I was told I could see seals any time I wanted lol). My therapist changed my life. The circle of women I was surrounded by changed my life. The administrators and staff changed my life. These weren’t just people doing a job—they became part of my story. A few days after arriving to soledad , my dad passed away suddenly. Losing him was devastating, and trying to process that grief while I was also working through my own recovery was one of the hardest things I have ever experienced. I was far from home, carrying a pain I didn’t know how to hold, and there were moments when I felt completely overwhelmed by the loss. But I was not alone. The women around me, my therapist, the admin and staff at Soledad House held space for my grief while continuing to support me in my recovery. They allowed me to be heartbroken without making me feel like I had failed. They reminded me that grieving did not mean I had to give up on myself, and that I could take the next step even when I could not see very far ahead. It is because of them that I was able to stay sober through it. Soledad House became a place where I could mourn my dad, feel everything I needed to feel, and still be cared for. That support meant more to me than I can fully express, and it is one of the reasons I will always carry this place with me. What makes this place even more meaningful to me is that I eventually went on to work in treatment myself because of the experience I had there. The people I met at Soledad House became more than just part of my treatment—many of them are still in my life today. I came from North Carolina looking for recovery. I left with a completely different life. I’m now about 3 1/2 years sober. I will always be grateful for Soledad House and the women, therapists, administrators, and staff who helped me become the person I am today.

I had an awesome experience here. From individual to group therapy to sober living. I met my true self and experienced a life changing transformation. Shout outs to Alexis my therapist and Neetra my house manager! They went above and beyond to make sure I received everything I needed from my time there!

When I got to Soladad, I was very sick physically and emotionally lost. At first because I was so physically sick. It was hard for me to settle in, but with the love and understanding of the staff I slowly felt safe. I was only going to stay a short time and I ended up doing the full 90 days. Best decision I’ve ever made. All of the staff helped me in ways I can’t even explain. The therapist, all of them cared. My therapist was Dorian. I truly believe that she saved my life. If you decide to go here, trust the process. You will feel frustrated, irritated and scared. Just believe you’re worth it no alcohol or drugs will heal you. Soledad House helps you to understand your relationship with your higher power and how to deal with life situations that we have forgotten because of our disease. I lived in the house, called Missouri. I was lucky enough to have an amazing house, Manager and other women in the house. I believe this place is a gift from God if you’re reading this hopefully it helps you to decide that you want to be free of this horrible disease and this is the place you will receive it. 🙏🏽

I wanted to leave this long review with the hope that someone at the center would take it seriously and learn from it. To begin, I gained entry to this program because a doctor recommended me. And honestly? It was the best thing to happen to me that year. The staff is friendly and kind, and they will connect you to lots of resources. That said, there is always room for improvement. For the record, I was homeless when I entered this program (I’m not anymore) due to having lost my job during CO VID. I am an educated woman with a BA in English literature and a survivor of long term narcissistic abuse. My criticism of Balboa Crisis Center is that they don’t enforce the rules! Clients are supposed to attend groups, participate in chores, and respect other people’s food in the fridge. I had a roommate who did the exact opposite and was allowed to stay in the center for a very long time, instead of being kicked out as she should have been. One day she started stealing my food out of the fridge. She did this because narcissists are miserable people who can't experience happiness and are always trying to ruin the happiness of others, even something as small as 711 snacks. And yes, she was a narcissist – as in, she had full blown NPD. When I told the staff about this, nothing was done. So I did what I could to minimize the situation by avoiding my roommate as much as possible and asking to be moved to another room. What the staff should have done was exit VICTORIA from the program, instead of allowing her to stay, steal food, shirk chores, and claim a bed that someone else needed more. I was allowed to stay a long time myself, but the end of my stay was coming, and I would be homeless on the street again. I was very upset about the prospect, and Victoria knew this. As I walked past her in the kitchen, she sarcastically said “Bye!” as a passive aggressive way of mocking me for being homeless again soon. This is how narcissists operate, through plausible deniability. I couldn’t prove that she was mocking me because she had been passive aggressive about it. It was covert, reactive abuse. Suddenly sick of always attracting narcissistic bullies into my life, I wheeled back around and asked her what was wrong with her. She started insisting that she meant nothing by it, that she was just saying goodbye (lies). Things escalated to the point that I picked up a cup from the table and threw it at her (she thought it would be funny to get in my face). I was sick and tired of narcissists. I’ve been abused by a LOT of them. Well, not anymore. Everyone acted like I was crazy and imagined Victoria’s behavior, but I know the truth. She stole from me in a clear attempt to upset me (she didn't actually want my snacks, she was just jealous and petty), and made me do her chores for weeks, then had the gall to mock me about being exited, and when I finally snapped, tried to make herself out to be the victim. How do I know Victoria was the one stealing? I SAW her sitting in bed eating cake she had stolen. I SAW her in the kitchen looking guilty when everyone else was in group. I SAW her smirking in triumph when Christopher was complaining about someone stealing his ice cream. To anyone who was paying attention, it was obvious that Victoria was the theif. Classic narcissist behavior. So on top of being in a crisis (homelessness), I put up with abuse from narcissistic Victoria AND bullying from some of the women on staff (Stephanie and Suzanna -- two mean women), women who were jealous, petty, and insecure. It was a lot to deal with at the time, and with Victoria actively provoking me, it's no wonder I finally snapped. Did anyone there see me with empathy at all? You know, as a human being with feelings? Either way, I am still grateful to Balboa Crisis Center and I hope they take steps to prevent something similar from happening in the future. Yes, this is Ashley. =)

Hawthorne has a special place in my heart, the therapist are passionate about there job, great group of people, the best in town.

Excellent program. Staff are professional, compassionate and understanding. This is a great place to stabilize and find a positive direction in life. There are two staff that stand out above the rest. Dave and Hunter are outstanding staff who go beyond the call of duty to help clients. They are client centered and truly care. Thank you both for making a positive difference in clients life's. Thank you for all your help ❤️

Love my PCP and his nurse Rosa. I know they care about my health.

The center and employees are great here except for the yucky area downtown! Where it's located it yuck!

I visited Family Health Center yesterday as a walk-in and had a very positive experience. The receptionist, Monica, was welcoming and efficient, and I was seen in less than 20 minutes. I first met with Rosey, the intake nurse, and then was treated by Dr. Lloyd. Both were professional, attentive, and made the visit smooth and comfortable. Overall, the entire staff was friendly and professional. I highly recommend Family Health Center for anyone looking for quality and affordable healthcare.
