RMR is comfortable, like a home, and the animals are wonderful. Chef Cesar is awesome, providing great meals and supportive of recovery... kindness speaks volumes. Staff is friendly, helpful, and supportive to individuals needs; my needs were met and I was able to focus on myself and my recovery responsibilities. I would recommend RMR to anyone that has been through treatment before and needs a "reset" on life. The atmosphere is conducive to healing, recovery, and "to give yourself a break". It is always helpful to have a group of fellow alcoholics/addicts that want a better life for themselves, the group does matter!

There are many caring Staff members who are mostly alumni of the program, so yes, these folks get us, and understand the disease we live with. The medical staff of Dawn, Merrisa, Karen, and Tim Are amazing people, and even though they are over loaded with responsibility during a shift, they do the best they can. The program also offers off sight meetings, bowling, movies, gym Hiking in the local mountains. Even though there are tings that need to be worked on, I would highly recommend this program.

My experience at Phoenix Rising Recovery in Palm Desert was extremely disappointing. As a 100…read morepercent disabled veteran, I entered expecting holistic treatment and meaningful PTSD support. In my experience, the program focused mainly on addiction and I did not receive the holistic services I had been led to expect. When I asked about those services, I felt dismissed and even laughed at. I was also concerned about the environment. I witnessed sexualized comments around my wife and child, and I didn't feel those concerns were addressed appropriately. I also observed what appeared to be a cesspool behind the property, and at one point my service dog rolled in it, which was very upsetting. Toward the end of my stay, I believe false accusations were made about me, and it felt like from my perspective they were accepted without a fair investigation. I was discharged, and I felt it was unjust. Based on my personal experience, I can't recommend this facility. And I especially would not recommend it to other veterans. I encourage anyone considering treatment there to ask detailed questions. Before enrolling.

As long as you are willing to do the work, methadone will save your life. I wouldn't be clean almost 7 years later without it. This is the longest length of clean time I've ever had and I owe a good bit of it to this clinic.

This was my first time ever reaching out for help & going to a recovery center. Everything about Hemet Valley Recovery Center was welcoming, transparent & beyond my expectations. Here is my personal experience broken down into sections so the reader can skip to the section that most applies to their personal needs. Bottom line: HVRC saved my life & has helped me find my life purpose again. Initial phone call: I had to check availability & insurance requirements as I am on Medicare. They are the only recovery facility that accepts Medicare on the West Coast. I was told to bring my own pillow & blanket & was given a time that a driver from the facility would come to pick me up to take me to HVRC. Drive to facility & intake: Donnie, the driver, relieved my worries with water, gum, mints and a peaceful drive to the center. He was able to answer any of my general questions with a calm demeanor. Arriving at the center, I walked through the intake forms, insurance paperwork, general overview of detox, & expectations of the recovery program. Detox: Supportive Dr. Raja, skilled nursing staff, hospital meals that were tailored to my specific nutritional needs & wants, space in my room to sleep, heal & detoxify my body, I felt confident in my ability to get started on my recovery journey. The proximity to the local emergency room also put me at ease if I needed a higher level of care due to my complex medical issues. Counselors: All patients are assigned a counselor. They check in with you on your mood, individual situations, & progress of your rehabilitation process. They are kind, compassionate & loving humans. Classes: Daily schedules have a variety of holistic rehabilitation classes. Anything from lectures, experiential groups, healthy lifestyles, meditations, yoga, Native American talking circles, NA/AA meetings, recovery planning, Men & Women's groups, Just for Today talks, arts & crafts, HVRC has it. The best class is "Pain Group" with Sherry Burditt, RN, HN-BC (AHNA Board Certified Holistic Nurse) for 5 weeks, 9 hours a week, 45 hours total. It's a progressive learning experience class that allowed me to use self-discovery, emotional healing & spiritual growth to face past demons, learn about my own energy (Chakras), & love myself again. Hands down the best learning experience about myself I have ever done (& continue to do as part of my personal recovery plan). HVRC Community: For nearly 90 days, I was immersed in the HVRC family. From the people you share your days & nights with, along with your thoughts, feelings, assignments & food, to the nursing staff, counselors, administrative staff, drivers, the house senior residents/house managers to daily HVRC volunteers, people are supportive, kind & are there to do what is best for mankind: sustain an environment of caring, client-first vibes. PHP (partial-hospital patients): Having lived in both the female sober-living houses, Mayberry & Harbor, both provide a calm and healing environment to spend time while not at the center. I have fond memories of van rides full of people to & from the center, quick trips to the ATM or appointments, & AA meetings & Soboba's talking circle. Outings: Nails/pedicures, haircuts, AA meetings, doctor appointments/imaging, ATM runs, Soboba talking circle. Family Weekend: AMAZING experience. Run by Lisa, it is a weekend of family & loved ones learning about addiction. Not just the disease itself, but how to support their loved one in & out of treatment, expectations of their loved one coming home, & a session for me & my family to start the healing process moving forward. Continuing care & Alumni meetings: Thursday nights: an in-person continuing care program that supports HVRC alumni. Counselors offer support in multiple ways. After is the Alumni in-person/Zoom AA/NA meeting. My favorite night to attend a meeting & connect with so many others who are going through the same thing that I am: staying clean & sober in my recovery. HVRC Alumni events: President Jeff does a GREAT job of promoting where the donated money goes. From helping clients with prescriptions, housing & other necessities, to creating joy for clients and staff with auction baskets, sit-down dinners, arts & crafts, hiding Easter eggs & Sam the Leprechaun, supplying treats to buy at the Alumni store, cookouts, individual gifts, Veteran recognitions, & more!! HVRC Alumni is a space for us to stay connected by volunteering, supplying resources or giving money to a great cause year-round. I just can't say enough good things about my recovery & experience from Hemet Valley Recovery Center. Just celebrated 6 months. I thank both my Higher Power & HVRC for being clean & sober today. As Nike says: "Just Do It". You'll save your life or someone else's. Hugs & blessings from a proud recovering client, Teresa
