The best treatment center I have ever experienced. Great care, positive attitude. More, it gave me a hope to be better!
Highly recommend. Special thank you to Kyle H. for not giving up on me!

Out standing facility, very clean, and the staff are all rockstars. They keep you fairly busy learning the ropes on addiction, the addicts mind, and what got you where you are. You will have plenty of opportunities to get a sponsor and work on your personal growth. The food sucked, unless you like chicken and pasta. The only other dig I have is that they spend too much time on “Granola Becky Guided Meditation”, and “Sound Bath” ( Trying to relax with incessant ringing noise in your ears that you can actually feel) . Aside from that it really was an excellent program with 24 hour staff that love their jobs, and actually care about your wellbeing.

This place absolutely changed my life. I have a new belief in myself and my sobriety. The staff is top notch and they really cared about my needs and wants. If you want to change your life give them a shot.

Had and continue to have a great experience with The Retreat. You can tell the team genuinely cares and is doing this for the right reasons—it doesn’t feel like just another program.

The clinical leadership is strong and really knows what they’re doing, which makes a big difference in the level of care. Overall, it’s a solid detox/residential option in Orange County if you’re looking for a place that actually puts people first.

I can say sooooooo much but i want to keep it short and sweet First and foremost, The Retreat South Coast deserves all the recognition. As my first time ever entering treatment, it exceeded anything I could have hoped for. I am forever grateful to each and every staff member who made my healing possible. My experience here  was truly life-changing. The staff was caring, kind, and incredibly helpful — they made sure I had everything I needed while going through detox/ residential. During one of the most vulnerable times in my life, I felt supported, safe, and genuinely cared for.

The groups were thoughtfully planned and structured to help us grow mentally, physically, and emotionally. They didn’t just focus on sobriety — they taught real coping skills and tools for overall wellbeing that I will carry with me long after leaving.

You are truly in the best place with the best care possible here. I owe the entire team my deepest gratitude, love, and respect. They made a lasting impact on my life, and I will forever be thankful

What sets the retreat apart from other programs is their unconditional regard for each patient that walks through the door. This is a safe place for healing and transformation. Couldn’t be more grateful to have them around. Staff is amazing and facility is full of hope.

Our son came to us one night to tell us that he had a five-year addiction to Xanax and that he tried to quit on his own, but started having blackouts and anxiety. He googled how to self detox from Xanax and the first thing he read was a warning that self detox from Xanax is extremely dangerous could cause seizures. My son called the support line provided by the website and spoke to a support person who spent a lot of time talking to him and recommended a treatment center in Santa Ana California called “The Retreat South Coast”. The support person called us and explained everything.  He told us that this treatment center was very good very qualified staff, nurses, and doctors with 24 seven care. The treatment center is a six maximum patient facility. The support person said that he would arrange flights and call insurance. My son had a flight first thing the next morning. The first seven days is critical detox, where my son has a doctor and nurses watching him 24/7. The staff
updated us regularly. Our son said detox was rough but the staff was so supportive and caring made it much easier. He has daily group therapy, which staff makes a potentially uncomfortable situation, very comfortable.  They are very supportive and nonjudgmental. When the staff feels like you are ready, they take patients out on well deserved outings to the beach or to the gym,  very exciting.  He’s allowed 2 phone calls a week but if you need more, they will work with you. His phone calls have been extremely positive. He said that the staff is amazing. Very kind people. The support is amazing and he really feels so cared for. He said he was starting to feel like himself again and was very thankful for what the staff has done for him. My son has decided to stay an extra month for continued support and told us not to worry because he was in the best hands.  He is very grateful. We are extremely grateful. Thank you team!

This facility made a difficult time for our family much easier. I can honestly say the staff here truly cares. Everyone was kind, compassionate and supportive. I’m thankful that they kept me informed throughout the process and for the positive impact they had on our lives.
