Verified Treatment Services
I don’t know where to begin, from the moment I exited the vehicle at Beach House, I was met with compassion. The intake staff was nothing less than professional. It takes a certain type of professional ability to make a person 1800 miles away from home comfortable. I’d like to add, I struggled with my addiction for over thirty years, I was ready to change my life for the better. I committed myself to keeping my mouth shut and ears open, let’s face it, I was unable to do for myself, what beach house could. In residential, I was able to attend great informational classes , led by professional personnel which taught me about my addiction. Not only was this opportunity given to me, I was also able to attend an AA meeting every night, as well as met with a therapist once a week to discuss where I was at in my recovery. Let me speak about the incredible breakfast, lunch and dinners that were provided, it made me feel as if I was at an all you can eat buffet, absolutely amazing. I took advantage of the beautiful sunrises on the beach every morning where I could start my day in a positive way. I also took advantage of all the extra activities that were put together for us on a daily basis. Just to name a few, movie night, bingo night, karaoke night, arts night and much more. I found it very easy to approach ANY of the beach house staff with any questions, concerns or suggestions. I also enjoyed the weekly chiropractor and massage appointments. As it came closer to my exit date, I made a mature, ethical choice. I showed interest in continuing my education of addiction and sobriety , and requested to be moved into the PHP program. PHP was another example of the care and compassion given by all staff and the opportunity to begin to adapt to a sober life style, and responsibility of myself. The staff at PHP are hands down very professional, and much like residential, the staff at PHP provide cook outs, karaoke , time to fish, watch movies , quiet areas to read and study the big book or just take in the fresh air and practice meditation. They provide transportation to and from a fantastic AA meeting Sunday through Wednesday, with speakers who come to the campus Thursday through Saturday. They also provide transportation to and from the beach in the morning along with transportation to Walmart, grocery store, church, and a additional AA meeting on Sunday. PHP gave me the opportunity to reconnect with my everyday tasks. This being , making my bed in the morning, keeping my room and apartment clean, and cooking dinner for myself. I also enjoyed doing my part in the group room. This is just alittle of what PHP has to offer. I found it refreshing that adult responsibility was included in this program. As for education, once again, the education of my addiction only continued to grow. From working with my therapist on a weekly basis, to the professionals teaching classes each day, not to mention the staff constantly planning extra activities such as going to the park for a session, going to the beach for a cookout , beach time and much more. By the time my PHP program was completed, I was able to notice a significant change in my life. As I stated in the beginning of this, I committed to working the programs Beach House provides for me. I chose to continue working on myself and entered IOP. With IOP, much stayed the same, however, IOP, provides the opportunity to leave the premises everyday, obtain a job, and much more. I can honestly say, It was with a heavy heart that this experience had to come to and end, however, To the entire staff that makes Beach House what it is, from the evening i arrived at intake, through to the completion of IOP, there aren’t enough words, or gratitude I can say or show for saving my life. You all gave me the tools, showed me I am worth it, and I am loved. I am forever in your debt, and you ALL will remain in my heart. For those looking for piece, love and a life free of addiction, I highly recommend Beach House. It’s life changing.
