Best Residential Treatment Program in San Diego by far. Staff goes above and beyond In all matters giving an opportunity to build a foundation for change. This place saved my life!
Terrible rehab. The counselors can be rude even though their job is to help people. The groups seem like they are made for children. 90% of the clients are hardened criminals and bring their prison mindset with them. I guess a good thing is you can have your phone from the start. So if you are looking for a flophouse for 90days, go for it. If you really want help in you recovery, San Diego has some great facilities.
Kept my driver's license(as get they took a copy) then state they don't have it. Pretty messed up either deliberately or not!
Overall, pretty much like jail, but without anal cavity searches. Half the staff is good, the other half allows bigoted language between clients. The space is very small, with cramped rooms and too many people stuffed together. The groups get very rowdy sometimes with cross talk and people having conversations about random stuff that has nothing to do with recovery. The food is edible, but hardly ever changes. If you are homeless or mandated by court... I guess it could work. If you want real treatment and are ready, there are much better options in San Diego.
The Way Back is fundamentally a place to find clarity. This sanctuary is an area of brotherhood; from top to bottom.. For me, if you can handle unabsorbed freedom, this may or not be the place for you. Get serious. These folks have their hearts on overdrive. The Way Back saved my life. Attack sobriety with shark teeth. Otherwise, tenticles prey on a world of the carnivore. I love these guys who run this program. They saved my life without even knowing it. Pray more. Hug more. Love more. Thank you Gents
I was down to rock bottom. Homeless, on formal probation, had severe depression. I was blessed to find the Way back. My life has changed because of different styles of each staff member is allowed to be each. I only wish I had the tools a long time ago. If you want help or don't and just have to do probation, This is the place!! You will get something out of being here. THANKS
