West Coast Addiction and Mental Health Treatment San Diego — Local services in Oceanside

West Coast Recovery Centers (WCRC) is an amazing, life changing place to assist anyone struggling with mental health or substance use issues. They offer a supportive, kind, and professional environment that truly creates a feeling of group and inclusion from the minute of intake. The Case Manager(s), particularly Melissa A. really know thier way around the systems commonly needed or used by clients (i.e DMV necessities, EBT applications etc). The therapists (too many to name) also ensure that you are heard and seen, validating your experiences, although not allowing for the space to become a plateaued pity party, gentle pushing you into the more uncomfortable areas of yourself in order to bring out the best in you. WCRC offers a large variety of therapeutic practices; from the typical CBT, DBT, and Process Groups, groups such as Art Therapy, Sound Healing, and Yoga help the therapies feel less like a monotonous cycles and more like a class period you attend each day. On Fridays, the center does 'Adventure Therapy' where the group goes on outings, such as hikes, beach days, botanical gardens, and more. They also offer Sober Livings in tandem with recovery, places where you can develop closer relationships and friendships with others who also attend WCRC. Shout-out to the Mental Health Technicians (MHT's) Bryan and Jackie for always being someone that I could come to with an issue, offer real world advice and mentorship for soberity, or simply just to hang out. Overall my time at WCRC helped me find a renewed faith in myself, kept me accountable on a sober path, and allowed a space for me to process my co-ocurring issues in an emotionally safe and supportive environment. I would highly recommend West Coast Recovery Centers for anyone who wants to put in the work to...

I went to West Coast Recovery in 2014 and I liked it. Activities were fun. I did relapse when I left and a few times after that in part because the timing of when they made me leave was bad. A few days before Christmas, I went home to an empty house and a very lonely holiday with a lot of temptation that I was not prepared for. I have heard since then that this is a habit of theirs. Poor planning of releases. When people's insurance money runs out, they get shown the door. I met a few women lately that are also "graduates" of West Coast. One, a former tenant of mine, Heather, said every person she ever knew that went to West Coast has relapsed because they don't really care about people, they want insurance money. She said they made her leave at a very bad time for her and she was traumatized. She said that they do that and then let people come back if they relapse, so their insurance kicks in again. Heather actually had nothing good to say about West Coast. I felt bad because I referred her. I had nothing to compare it to, but Heather has been in several rehabs and sober livings. I guess management has changed since I went there.

That was not my experience, since I never tried to go back and I didn't have insurance, but Jen and Katie spoke of similar experiences with people they knew. I do know a few other people that I am FB friends with that went when I did and they relapsed also. I can't say for sure their record for graduates relapsing, but I would do a lot of research before sending my...

If you or your loved one are looking for a post-detox treatment center, I highly recommend West Coast Recovery. You or they will be greeted by a caring and nurturing intake team who will arrange housing at one of their lovely beach front/adjacent apartment complexes or homes, a therapist, a case worker, will attend group therapy sessions from 9-4 M-F. They are one hour long and use all the latest and most efficient modalities available.

There is no doubt in my mind that everyone employed here cares deeply about helping people recover, it is by no means easy, but with willingness and surrender is very much possible for miracles to happen here!! I have hope for the first time in my life and am looking forward to rejoining society.

I graduated a couple months ago and when I arrived to detox, my life had become completely demoralizing and unmanageable. I didn't know places like this existed or I would've asked for help much sooner. I now have a full time job, live in a wonderful sober living that they recommended for me and am developing a wonderful new set of friends within the sober community which is thriving and supportive here in North County San Diego.

Feel free to contact me if you need any more info. I hope this review helps you, I know these decisions ars tough to make and wish...
