Just finished my program with Ranch Creek Recovery I just wanted to say some words to anyone out there who's probably in the same position I was in. If you have a drinking problem and you suffer from addiction please don't wait to get the help that you need. I wasn't sure what to do with myself a month ago and my mental health was deteriorating. I have an amazing job and saw that even tho I was very functioning in real life deep down I was suffering daily and needed help because I couldn't do it on my own and I'll fully admit that. The moment you walk through those doors you feel welcomed. The staff will teach you so many coping mechanisms and with group therapy you'll get to express yourself and hear like minded people tell their stories. I was able to finally get on my correct medication regimen and my mental health has NEVER been better. I feel 100% again. Jerilyn is such an amazing councilor and I loved how vulnerable she was telling her all her stories that were so relatable. She is there to help you. She was the first person that made me realize I was in the right place and I'll forever cherish that. Jimmy is a stellar councilor and was so spiritual I loved our groups hearing him speak and teach you'll see a change in you each session. He gave us all great advice with great coping mechanism skills. Yanna I'm gonna miss her so much and our late night talks she will sit and speak with you and actually be there in the present and listen to what you have to say. She was also so welcoming with her group sessions. She also works with out patient so I can't wait to see her again! Vanessa and Derrick are both councilors who also work with their outpatient program and they are both there to help us continue our recovery and keep our sobriety strong. Both of them were great with their groups and shared valuable information and tools for recovery. Christine was our therapist and she was AMAZING ! She really is there and listens to what you have to say and cares so much about your process with the program. She's helped me so much with our 1on1 sessions and I'm very grateful for that. I learned so much about myself and applied so much of what I learned with her groups. Jorge, Will, Trisha, Kylie and Arsalan all were apart of the intake process and were so welcoming and chill they make you feel like family. The bond I made with everyone here at RCR was so real and I did NOT expect that to happen at all. In fact I didn't even know if doing this would actually change me. It wasn't until I started to actually feel different and I started taking things day by day and following the process. That's when I knew this was different. I actually changed for the better and I'll never forget them for saving me from myself. Best decision I ever made for myself! read more

My son is staying there right now. He would never last three days in a rehab, He has been there 15 days, I am so proud of him. I go on zoom with my husband. We are very educated parents trying to learn about addiction. It has taught us so many issues we need to understand. I love this program. The money is worth it!!! I recommend this to anyone who wants to understand about loss, we lost 4 people in our family in less than a year. It was very hard for us and but not understand how it affected our six children. Our son is smart, kind, handsome but so compassionate and sensitive it hurt him terribly. Kids in their twenties are so absorbent when it comes to death. I wish he didn't have to learn it at this age. My husband lost his mother, sister, and brother tragically and I lost both my parents in the same three years. Our son is the one that took all of our hurt and sorrow internally. He cried with us and made us food and took care of our whole family during these times in our lives. Unfortunately he felt exhausted and could not do it anymore and took to other vices. First, smoking marijuana, then dabs, then pills, and in two years was a mess. This program is teaching him to live with pain and guilt. I love this program. It is bringing our son home sober, very knowledgeable and strong. We may be rich with money but being with someone I love and would die for sober.....is a blessing. Thank you Ryan for being the son we need you could be. read more

Thanks to Ranch Creek Recovery I learned to begin my path to healing. I was accepted not judged. I learned many tools from this incredible program. I was drawn to this program for the holistic approach. It was a beautiful private place. This place and the people that shared their personal journeys and experiences helped myself to open up and get the most from the program. Each day you had a new holistic approaches to heal from trama and pain. Addiction is a disease and the more you learn about your disease the more control you have over it. I will forever be grateful for the people and the tools I learned from my time at Ranch Creek Recovery. ‍ read more

Staff: 4.5/5 Owner, Director, therapists, nurses, counselors, and support staff are all really great. I had no issues with anyone in particular. They are all there to help you however they can. I found that everyone advocated for my well being, were available when I needed them, and did their best to support me, check in on me, and make sure I was happy and comfortable. (why not 5/5? They have had a bunch of turnover and need to update their website with their newer staff members and qualifications. Additionally the Doctors they partner with were not as thorough as I would have wanted, and were kind of pushy with medications) Program: 4/5 Small groups for the win! You get a lot of attention if you need it. This is a Holistic approach rehab. They do not focus on any 12 step programs. You have daily classes with different counselors, focusing on the science behind addiction, anger management, talk therapy, art therapy, equine therapy, nutrition, and much more. You have one-on-one sessions twice a week with a Licensed Therapist, and you have access to a gym daily, with a yoga instructor and trainer coming a few times a week. You also have a docent that comes once a week to do sound therapy, and you can learn techniques such as tapping. They have 2 doctors on staff you will have Zoom appointments with, and someone is always present to distribute morning, afternoon, and bedtime medication. You can also always grab whomever is on-call to talk through any issues or questions you have. (why not 5/5? Overall I found that there was too much down-time. I got bored and restless with that much free time and I craved more structure. Additionally I thought that the family Zoom sessions could have served as a stronger resource for loved ones) Location: 4/5 Murrieta is a quiet, tranquil area, with mountain views, a lot of farmland, and very little public noise to distract you. When you do leave the house, you get to visit a small farm that is very close by to interact with horses and goats, etc. You also have an outing on Saturdays for a few hours that allows you as a group to get out of the house. The immediate area has all the basic stores and activities you would want, like target/walmart/grocery/7-11/etc as well as mini golf, bowling... You do need to decide as a group where you want to go because you have 1 chaperone and need to stay together at all times. (why not 5/5? There are 2 different houses located about 10 minutes away from each other. The Bass house advertised on the website is much nicer and larger than the Doreen house. During my time the clients staying at the Doreen house were shuttled over to the Bass house for our daily classes and sessions, not being able to utilize their own kitchen, rooms, and bathrooms during the day. I was also told by clients that the Doreen house was not as nice as the Bass House) Amenities: 4/5 Pool - (I was there in the winter, so it was not heated and basically unusable, however, I did do some cold plunges just for the shock) Hot tub - available once a week on Friday evenings Yard - Large Grass Backyard and cement patio with tables and chairs Gym - Available daily. TV for movies or music. Free weights, yoga mats, and a few outdated cardio machines that mostly worked. Kitchen - Large kitchen, multiple Fridges/Freezers, Huge pantry for preparing anything you want, ovens, microwave, toasters, dishwasher, outdoor gas grill, etc... Pool table, ping pong table, arts and crafts table, outdoor TV, Indoor TV, Computer, land-line house phone. Comfortable rooms and bathrooms with laundry access, and provided bedding and towels. (why not 5/5? I was disappointed that it wasn't clear that the pool and hot tub didn't have daily access as advertised, and that the gym was more outdated than described/pictured. They also could make some very inexpensive recreation investments like a basketball for their outdoor hoop, soccer ball, frisbees, croquet set, bocce, etc for their giant lawn to be used during the extensive downtime) Aftercare: TBD! In the end, you're here to get and stay sober. While the success rate for 30 day in-patient rehabs in the US is not great in general (current statistics say that 80% of people will relapse in their first month of sobriety) Ranch Creek does set you up for success. They offer an ongoing Intensive Outpatient program once you have graduated from their inpatient program which is an additional tool. If you can't go in-person, they run a zoom program 3 evenings a week for 3hrs. They also help you design a departure plan including creating a schedule or calendar you will try to adhere to. They encourage setting up a plan of AA/NA meetings, sponsorship, exercise, work, and other group and individual therapies. I believe they go beyond what most facilities/programs will offer you. read more

Honestly, I love this place and everyone who works here! I have been through treatment at a variety of centers ranging from small, quiet and comfortable , to large, loud and not so comfy. I've gotten something out of all of them and as a result have grown as a person. I have never, however, been accepted and respected as part of the family like I was here by clients and staff alike. All of the staff are caring and genuine. Each one of them adding something of importance to my day. Being almost 50, I never imagined I would enjoy yoga, personal training or even equine therapy but I loved them all! This really is an exceptional place to heal, learn and grow. Thank you RCR!!! read more

Ranch creek is the equivalent to the red carpet treatment. I cant imagine treatment getting any better. It's a loving and safe environment with employees that go above and beyond the call of duty. They have every kind of therapy you don't even know you need. You'll get it and the best part, you will enjoy every bit of it maybe even feel grateful for the hard parts. This place should be 5 stars from everyone, like yelp, these people are just bulls***ting. Especially the mom on here complaining about the people that tried helping her son . Maybe you need to check your codependency. Want help? This is the place to get it and more. I have 106 days sober and I'm looking forward to a lifetime free from substance thanks to the help these guys gave. read more

The follow up has been pretty good from the team. Time will definitely tell. Again, a beautiful property and staff is very nice as well. Perhaps just a few tweeks as previously mentioned. Thank you! read more

Ranch Creek Recovery is the best recovery center I've ever been to. They really care about you. The staff is awesome. They give you the care in all areas of your life. I would recommend this facility to anyone who is struggling with addiction. read more

I originally went to Ranch Creek in September of 2019 and did 30 days inpatient followed by 8 weeks of outpatient . The staff and program completely changed my life . When I first arrived , I was adamant that I would leave after ten days because I had to get back to my job . They convinced me to stay , and I'm so grateful for everyone there . About a year after I left , I had a rough period and knew just who to call . I once again went to outpatient and got back on track . Ranch creek has given me so much . I am now a confident , shameless , beautiful, amazing woman and mom . If you need help . Go ! They will change your life if you are ready . read more

DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BELOW. Ranch Creek is an amazing place to start your recovery and start your new life. The owners do care and one of the owners actually has experience with our disease. Tracy is very educated and understands what each person is going through that comes through the doors. Each person that works for RCR is great, you can really tell that they care. The estate is very nice and well kept. Keep in mind going to rehab alone will not keep you sober for the rest of your life, it's been my experience that finding a group like AA or something that works for you is necessary. But the great thing about RCR is that it builds a foundation for your sobriety. It's a place where you can get away from your current situation and feel comfortable and an 'at home feeling'. I love RCR and I'm forever grateful to them. read more

I've had a few stints with rehab and none even skinned the surface of what I learned here. Located on a beautiful property in the foothills of Murrieta, with in house groups led by instructors that break it down so in depth. My perspective had a total shift and I can honestly say I owe my life and the promise of a new future to this facility and it's faculty. If you're willing to do the work this is the place to get into your core issues and help you recover from the lifestyle and vices that one is addicted to. I recommend this place to anyone who wants something different from life. DBT, CBT, recovery education, family therapy are just a few of the groups and The program director and Clinical director hand picked a team that is progressive, informed, patient, caring and passionate about what they do. I encourage anyone who's seeking treatment to look into this program I first hand watched others and had my life transformed. read more

The only thing that beats the beauty of this place is how wonderful and caring the counselors are! If you are ready for a change don't put it off any longer... read more

Ranch Creek Recovery does an outstanding job with the difficulties of addiction. Their 'Firm but Fair' approach aided me in my recovery extremely well. The program director and staff are very knowledgeable in their fields and gave me the impression that they really cared about me. I have enjoyed continued success in my battle with addiction since leaving treatment. The after care program is a good way to ease back into society. Their program gave me the tools I needed to be ready to face the real world. I highly recommend Ranch Creek. read more

the staff was okay, the management was garbage. after going three times, my insurance lagged a bit on the last payment, the owner called and told my dad that they "do not run a charity" which was extremely rude. i had a seizure here on my second visit, due to the night staff not being well trained, i was pulled off the couch (during my seizure) by my ankles, landed on my tail bone and got a compression fracture on my spine, im still in pain to this day. the bathroom connected to my room had a broken shower and they never fixed it for the 50 days i was there, same with the spa, equine was cancelled 5 times while i was here, and we were given half of the owner's expired pecan pie from their thanksgiving, to replace the moldy pumpkin pie they had gotten us. management does little to nothing to make your stay okay. i can keep going with stories about ranch creek recovery. but the truth is, the website is full of false advertising, and the owners do not know what they are doing. the program director tried to micromanage your entire treatment, and tries to tell doctors (real doctors, she is not one) how to do their job. she is rude, and there is zero confidentiality, she would share details about people before they got into treatment, "this lady wets the bed" or "this guy's drug of choice is..." stuff i now realize is not okay, i even knew when they were suspiscious about employees and heard situations where they would go on other employee's facebook and read the messages out loud. zero respect for anyone here. you're better off dealing with your addiction on your own than risking a setback like ranch creek recovery. its a business, and they could care less if they help you or not read more

Ranch Creek Recovery has provided me with many tools that will be useful in my journey of sobriety. Along with an informative, knowledgeable staff, RCR has provided me with a serene and comforting environment. The holistic approach to living a sober life has given me a different outlook as opposed to the traditional 12-step program. Understanding the reasons behind why I drink and use (underlying issues, anxiety, depression etc.) along with tools to help diffuse these issues, has given me a supreme yet realistic outlook on my life. Thanks to RCR I am 56 days sober today and have everything I need in order to live a fulfilling life free of mind altering substances. read more

My experience at RCR was great. I feel like I made a lot of progress in the 30 days I was here. The fact that the house has 6 patients maximum, gives you a lot of one-on-one attention. Smart Recovery is the way to go! I am planning to continue my treatment with RCR's IOP. This program is nothing short of excellent. read more

SAVE YOUR $$$$ At first this place was great, not because of the people who ran it but because of the small intimate setting with a total of 6 patients. After a while there, the gossip and unprofessional behavior of the staff started becoming very apparent. Had I known then what I know now... I would have locked myself down for 2 months and would have been fine. There are no rules in the kitchen so if someone there has a disease, watch out! I am truly disappointed in the way I was treated and more so for the way that place was ran. The Salvation Army offers FREE inpatient care for as long as you or your love one needs and I recommend that over RCR. RCR has high turn over in staff which should speak for itself. The best counselors all left and the schedule was constantly changing. In a rehabilitation environment, schedule and structure are needed. RCR had NO STRUCTURE. Their IOP program is the same. Go somewhere else, this is your life decision and you should go to a place where you are treated fairly and the staff and owner know what they're doing. read more
