Drug Rehab Centers in Ventura, California

This is a really nice place! It is located in a good neighborhood. The facility is large with really attractive comfortable furniture. There are a lot of areas to make enough space for everyone. There is even a large backyard with hammocks and a meditation area. The resident drug and alcohol counselor, Chris, is very compassionate and has lots of resources to help change people's lives.

I know this review is a bit late but here it is anyways. I was a patient at this facility twice. Once when I was about six or seven years old for about a year, and again when I was around the age of 14 for about two years. i ve spent my whole childhood from the age of five to the age of 19 in facilities, similar to this one if not more extreme care environments. I am now 23 years old, and I am a full functioning independent adult in society with my own apartment and path in school, And I can say with complete honesty that this facility looking back has been one of the best facilities I have been to. As a child, I had extreme behavioral issues along with lots of mental health struggles. Most of the facilities I lived in, were not able to properly handle my struggles, and therefore left me with more trauma, but this place, Casa Pacifica, I feel is one of the best facilities I ve ever lived in. This was one of the few places where I felt like normal a kid. The staff were very caring and nice and also patient. They were great at their job and you did not get the feeling as a patient that they are just there to collect a paycheck. At this facility I felt cared for not just physically but also mentally, which is extremely important for children that I think is something, that is really under looked when it comes to child care. This facility also hosted many activities and incentives to have the kids always have something to look forward to. There was never a day where kids just sat around and did nothing all day. The daily routine always gave us fun things to do to keep us busy and active and healthy while also giving us enough free time to be able to enjoy being a kid. Also, when the staff members were confronting clients on bad behavior, as a client, I did not feel like they confronted it from a textbook routine method of, do this to keep patient physically safe, and then follow through with this consequence, like most facilities. Instead, I felt like the staff members there would truly try and help you work through your emotions and try to understand why you re feeling this way and why you re acting this way to try and help reduce not just physical bad behaviors, but also the mental emotions causing the behaviors And that key thing is what made me feel genuinely cared for, and as a growing child with nobody in their life, except for the staff members that were caring for me, has made me realize how crucial The small things and the way they re handled can affect how a child develops into a person. So to basically summarize this whole review is to basically say that I think this is one of the best facilities that a child could receive help from.( Also, I would not use this review to explain how the facility is currently because it has been multiple years since I ve lived there. This review is just to explain that while I was living there it was a great place.)Today s date is 11/6/2024
