I did not have the experience as those before me had. I would rate them negative stars if possible. I was mislead not once but twice by the owners and staff. They lied to my husband and I on numerous occasions. You can stay at home and watch TV to get more treatment then you will receive there. They lie and manipulate family members about your treatment. Which lead to many of the reasons I left. They ordered my medication and did not give them to me upon my departure. Nor do they even care if you make it to a safe place when you leave. Not even as much as a phone call! Make sure you take plenty of extra money as you will need it. My advice is do your research before you buy into their "salesmanship" strategies. I had to file a quality control complaint with my insurance company when I got home. Just be cautious and research all your options. Someone that has to try so hard to "sell" their facility, doesn't typically have much to offer.

I can't even begin to explain what a great decision CWC was for me. I have never been to rehab, and when I realized I needed to go the jump was scary. Connor and Will walked me through everything making sure I understood how it was going to work. When I was admitted the staff- absolutely phenomenal. Everybody was so caring. Between groups, therapy, the doctor, meals, down time and "family movies and game time" I would not trade it for the world. I can't thank CWC enough for the tools they have given me. I have such a new outlook on life. Thank you CWC

I reached out and spoke with them when my cousin relapsed and needed help. What I loved was the hours staff took to help find something that would work for her. And she is still clean today! I am beyond grateful and would definitely call them again if I know of anyone struggling with substance abuse.

This place changed my life and helped me dig deeper into what caused my addiction issues and address them. The staff was extremely caring and professional & I cannot thank them enough for what they did for me. The therapist, case manager , techs , and owners are some of the most caring people I ve ever met , and I would recommend CWC to anybody looking to address their alcohol/drug addiction.

Best decision I ever made! I was able to kick my alcohol addiction all thanks to the team at California Wellness Center. It was more than just rehab for me. For 30 days I was loved, cared for and part of a family. I had group sessions, one on one sessions with the best therapist, we went on outings all over California. The care was phenomenal, I learned a lot about myself and learned coping skills that I still use today. This will always be a home away from home for me! Thank you California Wellness Team for giving me my life back!

I was in a horrible state when I arrived at California wellness from Portland Oregon. I Couldn t even walk up the stairs on my own, because of this program and all these wonderful people here I have a second chance at life. Thought I was going to die an addict. If you re looking for a fellowship, and a great environment to get sober this is the place. Frequent outings and all kinds of groups help the time fly by. Thanks Cali wellness.

California Wellness Center was the perfect hit for my recovery from addiction. The house was a comfortable size even when it was full. The six bed capacity allowed for a more intimate setting in group sessions and allowed me to get comfort being around the other clients and staff. My favorite staff member was Dean because he convinced me to stay and finish the program. He was always supportive and easy to talk to. All the staff members were friendly and professional. Hopefully I never need to go to another residential program but if I do I know where to go.

It was an absolute pleasure to have you as a part of the CWC family! Best of luck to you on your new journey. Come back to visit us whenever you are around. And yes, Dean is a gem! Best, Nellie

I've been to a few different treatment centers in the past, and this one definitely takes the cake! From a staff that actually cares to a clinical and medical team that helps to make your time as comfortable as possible while keeping you busy with groups and activities to help in one's journey! Highly recommend for those starting or rejoining their journey! And I want to shoutout to Dean! He helped me get into this program and really does care about the clients! Extremely helpful, and a great heart!
