Harmony This place is remarkable in any and every respect I can conceive of. I have to say, right off the bat, because it is so extraordinary, that the food there is as good as any you'll have anywhere. Their chef is not only incredibly skilled, but the quality of the food itself, the quantity, The variety of food, each and every day-- breakfast lunch, and dinner, is absolutely wonderful. I understand that's probably not the first concern for someone looking for help, but it is the thing I most remember about the place, and it was very nice to look forward to those meals which automatically buffers the intensity of the anxieties or physical maladies or any other problem one might be experiencing. If the food there was no good, the entire experience would be blown. If you're in the throes of detoxification, it would be horrible to have bad food. As for the Care, I'm not sure what to say. Without exception, every single person I spoke or dealt with, or was helped by, or counseled by, was as good or better than any I've ever seen in "real life". I've had many Sessions with psychologists, counselors, psychiatrist, and none compared to the counselor I had at Harmony Place. In fact, that was probably the best part. My counselor. She was, in an overused word, awesome. I got something from every single meeting, I still have my journals, and I will keep them forever. The The days flew past much faster than I expected, I think in part because of the other patients I had around me were also just wonderful to live with and talk to. I'm sure that they get a "challenging" guest at Harmony Place sometimes, , but I didn't see that, not in any sense. In fact, I met a man there with whom I will have a good and fulfilling relationship for the rest of my life. If you need help, as I so did, reach out to Harmony Place. They'll take very good care of you. I was just beyond an extremely difficult divorce, I had just lost my son to suicide, so I got the "f&$k its" as it is sometimes called, so I was there detoxing at first off of methadone, alcohol, and benzodiazepines and a whole bunch of sugar all at once. I won't say it wasn't difficult, you can't go through that with some level of pain, but to be quite honest, the discomfort was relatively mild. They got me on the perfect cocktail of medications that kept my symptoms at bay, and it was much, much easier than I expected. I was dreading horribly the seven days of pure misery, and what I had was about four days of mild discomfort. I'm telling you, you don't even have to look around. read more

My son went to Harmony Place for his rehab. This is his second time in in patient rehab and he has attended some outpatient treatment centers as well. The program and staff at Harmony Place really stand out. They seem to care about their patients as individuals. They help them come up with an individualized plan and they advocate for what's best for them. Our son is now in an affiliated sober living and going to PHP. Harmony Place staff helped him find the best next steps for his journey. I can't thank them enough for their help and care. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Harmony unlike 2 other rehabs I attended before Harmony. I loved it so much I didn't want to leave. The food is impeccable and they have a huge team to support all of your needs. The owner (Jeff) is very personable and will attend in house meetings and he even cries with you. He is very empathetic to the resident's needs. Michelle Ramos was also very helpful with the financial part. David also helped me after I left. When you leave Harmony, they keep in touch with you and provide excellent customer service. They email you and have meetings every week at the house. I can't say enough good things about this rehab. If you have a problem with drugs or alcohol, this is the place to go. They also provide aftercare support when you leave. Highly recommend!!! read more

The best rehab I've been to. Staff really cares and puts a ton of effort with their clients. Everyone was super nice and welcoming. Groups were educational and engaging. The chef, nurses, techs, pretty much everyone does an amazing job. The house is beautiful and clean. Definitely recommend read more

I admitted to harmony place as a client on 12/15/2023 and am forever grateful for the experience and the care that I received while under their care. I walked in unsure of myself and unsure that treatment would work for an addict like myself. I was facing some serious felony charges and had lost just about everything at that point. The clinical program and my primary therapist- Haleh- was instrumental to my process in healing and recovering from a seemingly hopeless state of mind. The staff believed in me when I didn't believe in myself and provided me with a safe place to go inward and do the work on myself that was necessary. I just celebrated 2 years sober on December 16, 2025. In the two years I've remained sober I have changed and grown into someone I am proud of, I got my license back, I got a car, I have employment and after many court dates my felony charges were dropped in October of last year. Most importantly I have found myself again, through working a program of my choosing, learning from my mistakes and trying to be the best person I can be- sober- each and everyday. I'm not sure that this would be my story if I had ended up going to any other program. Thank you harmony place for making me feel safe when that felt like such a foreign feeling for me. Thank you Jeff and David for taking a chance on me. Thank you for giving me the gift of sobriety and to finally walk this earth alive and with a purpose. read more

Harmony place was such a great experience. The staff was kind and caring. Liz and Jeff run an amazing facility and I'm very grateful for the time I spent there. read more

this place does not have a medical detox they say they do but there's no Doctor No nurse they can't touch you so if you're in serious withdrawals and you need to be helped, they will not help you. I was just there and I had to go somewhere else to get the kind of care that I needed to come off fentanyl please don't go there if you are a serious addict if you're a fake addict like you're just taking pills or something like that you might be OK but if you need a medical detox, please don't go there. Look at all the reviews they're 10 years old. And to boot they kept my medication so now I can't even get my Suboxone because of them scam. It's a shame. It's just a money making machine that's all it is. They don't care about you. Trust me read more

I am amazed on how great this facility is. I have been to many rehabs and this beats all of them. The CEO is so amazing. Truly one of the kindest souls I'll ever meet. I truly am grateful for EVERYONE there at H.P. What amazed me was how dedicated he is to the clients and his staff. They will do anything and everything for you, as long as you do the work. They always make you feel safe and if you don't, they will quickly do so. Honestly, I don't think there is any other rehab like this. I was supposed to only stay for a couple weeks and it ended up doing the full 30 days and honestly I wish I could of stayed longer. The therapist that I had (Haleh) was amazing. She helped me through a lot. She was constantly was checking up on me. Which meant the world to me. While I was there I had 3 very close people pass away within a 2 week period. Both of my grandmothers and 1 friend who OD'd. If it weren't for me being there and the support they and the fellow piers gave me, I'd still be loaded today and on the streets. SO, if you or your loved one is looking for a comfortable, encouraging, caring, loving rehab center. This is it! I will for always be grateful for this facility and their IOP is amazing as well! Best of wishes to your sobriety! PLEASE CONSIDER! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! read more

See all

I owe my life to Harmony Place. I was struggling with addiction for years and didn't think there was any way out. I checked into Harmony and got the help I desperately needed. It's mixed (male and female) with about 12-14 beds. Extremely comfortable. They have numerous group sessions throughout the day that are beneficial for everyone. They also have a great network of sober livings and outpatient programs so you can continue your recovery and stay connected once you discharge. read more

Thanks to Harmony Place I've gotten my life back. It was a bit of a painful road but I'm coming up on 5 months clean and sober. A huge thank you and shout out to Jeff Schwartz - the owner and David C. Thanks guys for helping me with everything, without y'all I couldn't have come this far. Another shout out to Liz, Rebecca, Dr. Paulette, Dr Haleh, Amos, Kaitlyn, Krystal, and our chef Dante!! Thank you everyone!!!!! read more

If you're seeking empathy, compassion and healing, Harmony Place is a phenomenal treatment center equipped to guide you on your unique personal journey read more

It's rather comfortable. The food is above average but not necessarily healthy, but the chefs , Mangi and Rudolph, will make accommodations for you if you ask in advance. The nursing staff is friendly, but the facility doesn't employ any RNs, they're all Vocational Nurses, which means their knowledge of medicine is limited. They are responsible for checking your vitals and dispensing meds. There's a doctor on call that they text with any questions or requests. The doctors are pretty prompt with answering. The groups get repetitive and rather stale after the first week as the turn around is high and new clients are being admitted all the time. It's a small facility with a maximum of 14 clients at one time. At one point there was only 4 of us. There are outings on Thursdays and Sundays. Thursday outings are almost always to Topanga Beach(not The cleanest or the prettiest beach in SoCal) Sunday outings are more diverse and are open to suggestions (movies, go-carts, mini golf, etc.) visiting hours are extremely limited to 3 hrs (1-4 on Saturdays and 2-5 on Sundays).You cannot leave the grounds which are rather small, so you can't go on a walk or stroll. The therapists are quite polite and sympathetic. The clients are for the most part younger and in their 20's.(don't expect highly educated professionals, or anyone interested in literature, politics, history, or general knowledge). There's a little air conditioned shack with a treadmill and an elliptical and you can go to the gym twice a week (very early on Mondays-too early and not recommended by most physicians, and Saturdays during visiting hours, so I really didn't get much in terms of physical activity. There's a heated pool. Room mates are generally messy due to their youth. There's always leftover food in the fridge in case you get hungry between meals(dinner is at 5p.m. and breakfast is served at 7:00 a.m.-quite a stretch. Make sure that your primary physician is constantly informed regarding any new medications, changes of dosage, and weekly blood work. All in all you'll get your money's worth. It's $40K/month and my out of pocket was minimal. I stayed an extra week which my insurance covered with no copay. The 12 step model is not mandatory and you don't have to attend AA or NA if you don't want to. Good luck with your sobriety. read more

"There are 525,600 eternal wondrous moments of chance in a calendar year. Grateful and with awe I am humbled to have spent the last round of them sober and connected to the happenstance and beauty of life. Much gratitude and love to all who helped this lonely navigator of the cosmos right his life-ship and steer him in the direction of the healing light...Peace/Love/Hope and One Year Sober Today..." I wrote and shared this last week on my year anniversary of sobriety. And if it wasn't for the incredible-professional-caring staff at Harmony Place I most likely would't have the opportunity to express my thanks. And more crucially the chance to feel the magic of conscious existence...Harmony is a proper name for what they do- Arriving a devastated,tattered human being they began to rescue the remains and build a spirit. A soul. A individual full of all the contradictions,frailties and demons that needed to be assuaged. Healed. And allowed to breathe,think,love and feel. From the staff-therapists,nurses,kitchen crew,technicians,group leaders and everyone I encountered the main thrust, main objective was to bring "Harmony" to one hurting human being. So for anyone caught in the cross hairs of addiction. Bogged down in the pure horror of non-existence. Fractured. Or hurting- this is the place to seek a rebirth. A reawakening. A chance to restore balance. And yes to restore HARMONY to life,liberty and a pursuit of happiness... read more

The staff here is very warm, nurturing and helpful. I was very pleased with my experience and would encourage anyone who is looking for a treatment center to go to Harmony. read more

I have been struggling with alcoholism since my early twenties and have been through a multitude of treatment programs, outpatient programs, and medical detoxes. I have historically been a chronic relapser and truly believed that there was little hope in my case for long-term sobriety. I arrived at Harmony Place in 2008 fully expecting to go through "just another treatment program," and was skeptical and discouraged. Why would this place be any different from the others? Harmony Place IS different and has given me the foundation for living a (sober) life that I, for the longest time, believed was far beyond my reach. There is something extraordinary about the treatment team and the program/environment that they have created. Every single staff member is personally invested in the recovery of each woman who walks through the door. Their personal and professional expereince with addiction is extensive, and their dedication to helping each client successfully through her recovery at Harmony and beyond is, in my experience, unparalleled. Each person there will be your staunchest advocate, yet will push you to both challenge and be brutally honest with yourself about your situation, whatever it may be. Before completing the program at Harmony Place, I was convinced that I would die an alcoholic; alone, demoralized, and pitied. I felt hopeless and broken. I am now a proud mother of a beautiful two-year-old son, and am graduating (with honors!) from CSUN in May with a degree in social work. Harmony Place has been instrumental in helping me realize my dreams and I will be forever grateful for Don, Loree, Angela, Tracy, and all of the beautiful women there who believed in me when I couldn't believe in myself. read more

Harmony Place helped me save my life. More importantly it allowed me a safe haven from the ravages and torment of alcoholism. Arriving a damaged,flawed human being they helped me build up my self-esteem,self-worth and gave me the necessary tools and practices to begin to live again. How did they accomplish this? Start with the undeniable thrust and essence of treating each client with respect and decency. Follow that with a myriad of techniques and nurturing sessions and a truly professional staff. From the kitchen staff to the living arrangements. From the nurses,doctors,therapists,counselors,technicians,group leaders all the way to the directors; all who I encountered at Harmony Place gave every part of their being into helping,healing and nurturing a troubled soul. Kudos and much gratitude to Jeff and his whole staff for saving this one injured,hurt person. And helping him experience life again anew. F.Scott Fitzgerald once said in life there are no second acts. That is true. Yet sometimes there are second acts amidst the first one you are living in. Well if you were like me I came to Harmony Place a very tormented,defeated shell of human in the first act. And left equipped with the devices and skills-new script and lines if you will-to tackle my addiction. A second act of the first act of life indeed! And today I am days into my second year of sobriety. If anyone needs a place to deal and tackle their demons and addictions- Harmony is a good beginning. Yes it takes individual work. It takes individual commitment. But it also takes the help of people who care and are skilled at what they do. Harmony Place will definitely provide that. read more

Excellent supportive environment They really help woman in recovery. And they make detox and early recovery as painless as possible. Great staff They do go the extra miles read more

As a physician I see many troubled people pass through my doors. Some need advice and some need serious help and intervention. I stand behind Don and Jason 100%. Harmony Place is an escape from a troubled reality for many women and sometimes that's all that is needed. The entire staff is kind and wise to the manipulations often seen with troubled women. I have seen true miracles come out of Harmony Place. I have seen people reclaim their lives and families. I could not imagine a better place for women to get healthy in mind, body, and spirit. read more

This place saved, and continues to save my life. I went through Harmony last year for the first time, and ended up relapsing mainly because I did not follow suggestion in terms of aftercare plans. When I needed help again, the first place that I thought of was Harmony. I remembered how caring everbody was, and how great of a program they ran. I can't even begin to describe how much Jeff, the owner of Harmony, and his admissions team helped me..and STILL do. Jeff is hands down one of the most genuine and caring people I've met in the treatment field. I honestly am not sure I would be alive right now if it wasn't for him. I was absolutely broken and felt I couldn't do life anymore. Harmony picked me up and carried me the entire way, and still are. I'm currently at one of their sober livings and now a client at their outpatient program. I had only a spec of hope left when I made that call to Harmony again and I'll forever be grateful to them for literally saving my life, and giving my 2 year old son his mother back. read more

Harmoney place was my first rehab experience. Excellent place with an excellent staff.

Saving lives everyday; including my own! This place is beautiful with wonderful staff top down. So lucky to have been in this program!!! Thank you ! Cliff read more

a word about don and jason: i had a friend in need of the kind of services that harmony provides (her name obviously has to remain anon). i reached out because i was out of my depth trying to help her, and these gentlemen were extraordinarily kind and conscientious. they helped me to help her, in addition to offering and providing their own excellent services. the thing they do is hard, and the journey for those who go through it is long, but i couldn't imagine better people to help along the way. read more

Harmony Place saved my life. I was hopeless and desperate for help. The small setting was particularly attentive to my needs. The staff was always helpful and gave me the push I needed when I didnt think I was capable of getting sober. I struggled for years with addiction. Being 20 years old when I entered Harmony Place, I had many reservations about whether I could succeed. The staff had faith in me, when I didnt have much faith in myself. Not only did they help me while I was a resident, but they directed me to a treatment center in San Diego for my aftercare. The staff really cared about me, and they helped me immensely. I feel like if I had not found Harmony Place, I may not be sober today. March 31st will be my three year anniversary. I'm so grateful I attended Harmony Place and have come so far. read more

All they give you to drink is kool-aid. They have a chef who cooks meals 3 times a day and the food's pretty good, but if you want to snack on something, you're lucky yo get an apple. The owner is very cheap when it comes to keeping the clients hydrated and fed. read more

My daughter was in several treatment centers and when she relapsed this last time we were desperate and frightened for her. My husband and I decided to try again and but this time we were looking for a center with a different approach than the centers she had already been in. As I started my journey I called and spoke to many treatment centers all across the US. When I called Harmony Place I was connected to Don Grant. After speaking with Don I knew immediately that this was the right place for my child. Don was compassionate, understanding and in my opinion very truthful. When he said he would call me back he ALWAYS did. He spoke to us several times and never once pushed his center on us. He did tell us the price and did tell us about sponsorship but quite frankly he was in the same financial ballpark as several of the other centers. He was there for us literally 24/7. Harmony Place is specifically designed for women and tailored to providing a safe environment. The staff are knowledgeable and in recovery themselves. The staff knew each client and were on top of each client's progress. Harmony Place has a small clientele and each client are able to receive all the help they were entitled to. Angela and Lori were fabulous therapists and very intuitive. Nothing got "over" them or "past" them. I would recomment Harmony Place to anyone who is looking for a small setting designed specificaly for women. My daughter is currently going into sober living and her councellors did a wonderful job in finding a right fit for her - affordable, safe and a good environment for her. I do believe my daughter is coming out a different person, and different in the sense that she "truly gets it". As Don said "there is no treatment center out there that is designed like Harmony Place- it's a special place"! I know Don will be available to our daughter if ever she needs him. We would highly recommend Harmony Place to any woman seeking treatment. read more

I am writing because I was a client at Harmony Place over the summer. In my initial conversations with Don he felt confident that Harmony Place was equipped to help me, even though I let him know that going there would take all of my life savings. He always offers a scholarship when you say its too expensive... which makes it still too expensive ... but a little less so. Anyway make sure you say its too much when he quotes you 40,000 for the month.. you'll get the half price scholarship.. but only after he negotiates on your behalf with the owner... yeah right.....who BTW is a very nice man. Too bad he has such ill equipped employees to run his place... who pass it off as something it is not. So I was desperate and I believe this is exactly the type of person Harmony Place and especially Don Preys on. I spent my life savings there in hopes of beating this depression and body image disorder. . My time there was not pleasant especially as I felt Angela, (the least therapist), Laurie, (not sure what she does, but definitely seems to have an eating disorder of her own) and Don ( the salesman) to be cold distant uncaring and judgmental about towards me. Further I felt verbally abused by Don as he becomes very agitated if there is any disagreement or conflict, stops listening and begins shouting and ranting.The second day there I requested a refund... sensing in my gut that this place was not able to help me. But I stuck it out, as I was told there was no refund., I want to give you an update that not only is my depression and body image problem still present, it is far worse than before I attended Harmony Place. I am now left without any resources to seek counseling or other help. I am suicidal and fear that I am not going to make it as I have no access to care given that I spent all my money at Harmony House. Stay away from this place if you want meaningful result oriented psychological care... on the other hand if you have money to burn and want to dry out from alcohol or drugs and have a nice house and pool to hang around in while doing it, like to smoke cigarettes, (because you can't sit outside on the patio unless you like to breath smoke as there is no "Non smoking" area), eat mediocre food and have someone drive you to AA meetings every night then this is the place for you. read more
