I graduated from Coachella Valley Recovery Center 6 days ago and without this opportunity to change my life there was a high chance I wouldn't be able to write a review anywhere on Google. This was my 7th treatment center, so obviously I've been a little hard headed on sticking to what I must do in order to recover and stay recovered from this insane disease. I've been through a lot and have experienced what seemed like too much loss. While some consequences may scare someone straight, they didn't for me. I've been shot, three trips to jail, found my best friend dead and have overdosed 7 times, these are just a few of my 1st step experiences. Prior to submitting myself into Coachella Valley Recovery Center I felt extremely hopeless to say the least. My mind was telling me that I would be better off dead, because my existence was causing more pain to everyone that cared than my death would. My mother would try to inspire me, but my response was "Why rebuild when I'm going to burn it all down again?" With a head full of recovery knowledge I made statements like "I'm at the jumping off place" meaning I could not imagine my life with or without the use of external substances. However, knowledge doesn't keep you sober it takes action. Today, I'm nearing two months clean when it seemed impossible stay one day clean. I had 3 years and a few months clean in 2020 and that's when I lived the nightmare of finding my best friend layed out on the floor and having to make that dreadful call to his parents and gf, which sent me back out about 40 days later. Life gets good and busy in recovery but I lacked in my deep connection with my higher power, myself and others, also the Pandemic didn't help. I was out for about 2 1/2 years, lost control and lost everything that I worked so hard for again. I learned that we have to lean on each other to keep our faces out of the mud and the more individuals I surround myself with that want the same thing "to better ourselves and the lives around us" the less likely I am to fall again. There's no combination of words that I'm able to put together to express my gratitude and appreciation towards the whole team especially the owners for being understanding/willing to jump in my hole with me to and show me the way out again. This time around it felt like I was digging so far down that I was burying myself. Today, I no longer live in Fear that my past is going to look like my future, I have serenity and know that my stumbling blocks can now be used as stepping stones for others. If you're struggling or have a friend/family member who needs help reach out. I'm a testimony to this place and so grateful I dove into the unknown. P.S. apologies for the lengthy review, they...

While a patient there He received the 5 Star treatment from housing, food, therapy, and groups. He was given the knowledge and tools to rebuild and change his life completely. He is now sober and has hope for his future, the spark in his eyes, his joy and laughter has returned because of his stay at Coachella Valley Recovery Center.

   Read moreAll I have to say about this place is, if you can be brave enough to walk through the doors and admit yourself and Plant that seed with the staff and the therapist and the doctor's they will one hundred percent water that seed and nurture it/you with love,compassion,kindness and all the above. And even at first when you don't believe it yourself if you can just hang on and put in the work you'll soon start to see that seed bloom into something amazingly beautiful/yourself. I came in with the gift of desperation to finally completely surrender and get clean but it was COACHELLA VALLEY RECOVERY CENTER that watered my seed and took care of it & for the first time since I've been 14 yrs old I can truly say I'm happy to my absolute core and will never ever forget one moment I spent their, to all the staff & DR'S thank you from the bottom...
