Well this was my first time in treatment ever and I was there for my severe depression PTSD and a…read moregambling habit that was out of control...I drank but not to a point to the reason I was there. I did not detox and was there for the mental health aspect they just added ( the VA sent me there ) I went close minded with the idea I was going to stay for only 3 days and return but I ended up staying for 20 days. So let me start with the things I did not like there...first to many kids not being held accountable to attend the groups and just sitting around smoking all day and then being able to high up all the outside meetings and events that those who attend the groups regulary attend. There is not enough info for new admissions you generally spend the first 3 days navigating everything trying to find your way around. The CA's are very helpful but there are just not enough of them to help everyone. And I thought there should be some type of security there. There is a lot that goes on that the CAs just cant pick up on and are not trained for. I went with the intention on hoping for one on one sessions with a therapist to find out I enjoyed the big group and was able to open up more and talk about things I havnt spoke about in years. I can not say enough good things about my therapists in big group Charlie and Mary!! If you have to go there hopefully you end up with them. I have been seeing therapists for over 15 years and Charlie was the only one who was able to break through for me. Overall the facility itself is fault nice, food is ok ...good probably use a few more pavilions outside maybe out back. I don't believe I got much help with the gambling issue cause they kept putting it with drinking and drugs I get it it's an addiction but I didn't get drugs to help stop the urges to gamble like those who have urges to drink and use. If you are going to have a mental health aspect you may have to start a group only to deal with that and not group them with substance abuse individuals because for me listening to someone for an hour who uses did not help me much. Anyways thank you for what was done for me there and I am thankful for the resources I was afforded and the time I was able to get away from the real world and focus on some things I had buried

I am now more upset than ever since the "Retreat" has closed down due to financial problems. I…read morereceived a bill in the mail for almost 200.00 stating that since they shut down they feel that they are owed this money! They are insane if they think that this dump is getting a single dollar from me! It is sad to think what happened to the 2 CEO's that they are trying to milk every penny from people/clients who do not have the money!

I want to start by saying that the level of care by the physicians is top notch. They listen, they…read morecare, they take into consideration who you are as a person. Now that that is out of the way...as personable, friendly, and easy to communicate with as the physicians are, the front end and telephone support staff are unhelpful, unimaginative, uncaring, and very much like to only stay in their box and stick to their script. The silence after asking if a doctor has seen something important that shouldn't be left to just an email into the ether is deafening. The way they don't even try to offer any solutions to issue, or any type of resolution is are bare minimum as it can get. If you are someone who worries about your health and needs a bit of extra assurance, DO NOT GO HERE. If you desire anything above the response you would get from a non Ai computer interface, look elsewhere. If not for the physicians, this rating would be negative stars if possible.

Dorel is a magician. My wife and I met him at the Griffith Park Half Marathon back in 2015 - while…read morehe only gave us a 5 minute demo stretch, his work lasted all 13 miles and made a lasting impression on us. Fast forward to this past November when I injured my IT band: During a back-to-back 10k / half race series, I pushed myself a bit too hard; combined with the abnormally cold weather and steep incline grades, I strained my left IT band with significant pain in my lower calf, knee and mid thigh. After confirming the injury with my doctor (who did nothing but recommend resting and vitamin d), I took the next 3 weeks off - just working out my upper body and using the stupid hand cycle to keep up my cardio. This was extremely inopportune timing as we had another race series in January. After the 3 week hiatus, I tried to run again, albeit slowly and was only able to complete 6 miles. Now in panic mode, due to the upcoming 51.7 mile race series, I found Dorel's business card and gave him a call. He immediately fit me into his schedule and we planned to meet the next day. After ONE, one hour session, I could already feel my tight IT band relaxing. He used a variety of techniques targeting my IT trigger point and managed to work out the injured muscle and tendons. While it was grueling at times, it was 1,000% worth it to fix this injury. Dorel also gave me a sheet on stretches, recommendations for the week leading up to the races and his personal cell phone number in case I had any issues or questions. As you can see from my attached image, my wife and I were able to run all 51.7 miles. I had ZERO pain in my leg or knee. Truthfully, I was a bit skeptical about my recovery - having taken 3 weeks to rest / stretch my leg and then only able to run 6 miles - I couldn't fathom how an hour of massage therapy could get me race ready in less than 1 week. I am so thankful that we met Dorel - these 5 races would NOT have happened without him. If you have any injury, I cannot recommend him enough!!

Dorel really knows how to create positive changes in people! In just 6 weeks he has helped me to…read moreresolve the biggest family dynamic challenge I've been struggling with for the past 4 years! 8 months of therapy didn't even come close to the outcomes and changes that his coaching helped facilitate for me and my family! His approach is gentle, respectful but firm and to the point at the same time. But most importantly, effective! He immediately saw where everything kind of falls apart for me and designed exercises, experiences and commitments to remedy that. It was a real eye-opener to go through them. I so wish I had discovered life coaching sooner and haven't wasted 4 years trying all the wrong things to help my family. I highly recommend Dorel's coaching to anybody who is serious about making progress in his/her family and personal life!

What I don't get is why your staff harassed me Friday night (06/14/2019) and Monday afternoon (06/17/2019) via text, calling me a "fat ass" and "stupid shit". My review reflects the experience that I had trying to work with your clinic on the 11th and 12th of June 2019. Sorry if you feel butt hurt about it, next time resolve it professionally instead of escalating it with insulting text messages. Peace!
