On Friday night, I expressed my intention to leave, and staff told me I needed to wait until Monday to complete a formal discharge. I agreed to that. Sunday night, while packing my belongings, I accidentally missed my UA time by about an hour. Shortly after, I received a text in the house group chat from Ryan Young saying, "You need to UA now or we will throw all of your things on the road. This is not a Motel 6 or a storage unit." That was completely unprofessional and disrespectful. The staff themselves told me to remain there until Monday, so to be threatened and humiliated publicly in the group chat was unnecessary and degrading. I would honestly have preferred staying in a Motel 6 than dealing with that kind of treatment. This program lacks compassion, professionalism, and basic respect for its residents. I don't recommend it to anyone.

STAY AWAY! We sent our son (I am not including his name b/c he has asked that I not) to the…read moreEpiphany House after trying everything and feeling totally exasperated with our options. We knew we had to do something when his alcohol and heroin addiction became violent (one night he assaulted a pedestrian and smashed the windshields of half a dozen cars in our neighborhood). Only by the grace of god, did we eventually get him clean for 2 months and we were elated! We thought the Epihany house seemed like a great idea to get him acclimated and some badly needed friends. We met the owner, the entire staff, all of whom seemed friendly and interested in our son. On the surface, everything seemed great so we admitted him to the house. Slowly, the skeletons started to appear... Fist we discovered that the Epiphany house has only been around one year! The "staff", if you can call them that, have no formal training at all in addiction recovery! No social worker. No therapist. No profesionall counseling. No nothing! Absolutely no support is offered, except being around other boys, many of whom were terrible influences for our son. So what ends up happening is our son, like many of the other clients, spent months playing video games, watching TV and wasting time without counseling or guidance to address his underlying addiction. Second, the food the kids end up eating is atrocious. The "chef" makes extremely simple and mass produced food and only for dinner and only some nights. The rest of the time the kids eat pizza (LOTS of it), burgers and soda and other junk; whatever is cheap and lying around. Third, the drug testing is completely a joke. My son told me that many of the kids would keep using drugs and get urine from other kids to cover for them! We paid a tremendous amount of money to ensure that he is kept with kids who are clean. NOT the case. My son was surrounded by other kids who were using and it's a miracle he didn't relapse while there! Fourth, besides doling out medicines, dont expect the "staff" to have any idea about how to manage your child's psychiatric needs. If your son has any overlying psychiatric condition, the staff will be clueless. My son has bipolar and needs to be on lithium. When I spoke to the staff to ask if they were aware of my son's absolute requirement for lithium and to plead with them to ensure he gets it, I got back, "what's bipolar?" SERIOUSLY????? Again, another example of staff that just babysit and don't actually help anyone stay clean. Fifth reason, the boys are told they can't have girls over, but directly next to my son's room, another boy routinely brought his girlfriend over for a rendezvous. It's just what my soon needed.... Not being able to sleep because of the noise coming from the this guy and his girlfriend late into the night. Just another example of the frat house like atmosphere here! Last reason to stay away. There are so many better options. Sober living homes can provide real counseling, real support, real help and dont just babysit your kid while milking you of tens of thousands of dollars. I wont say the name of hte place, but our son is now in just one of those homes and is finally addressing his underlying addiction and getting REAL help. IN SUMMARY: If you want your child to be babysitted by incompetent and inexperienced staff who have no formal training in addiction recovery services while you are charged tens of thousands of dollars, the Epiphany House is just right for you. If you want somewhere that will actually help you child, keep looking; you wont find it here.

I started my journey at the last house at the ripe young age of 20, back in 2013. On my own accord,…read moreI had followed the ravages of addiction and alcoholism into the darkest depths of hell before my teen years were even over. I was an angry, depressed, psychotic, and near-schizophrenic kid due to my pursuit of the bag and the bottle into oblivion. I was told all my life I was a prodigy, a genius, a wunderkind. All I saw was pain and misery and failure due to my disease and my actions. I was entirely lost. I had chosen to be homeless on the streets of L.A. for quite some time instead of accepting help. My selfish actions and resulting consequences are what led me to The Last House, and my final plea to God and family for help. When I entered The Last House, I was a sucked-up shell of a person, who was hearing voices and having hallucinations and homicidal and suicidal thoughts constantly. All of that was to change. The Last House did for me what I could not possibly do for myself. The staff and the residents welcomed me with open arms and accepted me for who I was and not for who I believed I was. That was the crucial part that shocked me initially. I was angry, selfish, egotistical, and dishonest. The Last House showed me how to grow up, how to be kind, how to have faith in my fellow man and in God. But most importantly, it showed me how to have faith in myself!!! | was fighting against it for awhile, because I was in so much fear of accepting real life and fighting against my demons. But I was to overcome that fear and learn infinitely more about God, AA, the 12 Steps, and camaraderie. I graduated the Last House in late 2014 after working The Steps with a sponsor who also was a Last House alumni, and I was so comfortable and happy in that place, I decided to stay on as a live-in manager for months after graduating, as I wanted to give back what had been so freely given to me, in a debt that could never be repaid. The Last House is a pivotal staple in my life, I confidently promise you all that I would not be alive today nor be the man I am if it weren't for every single person in that program. I am forever grateful for The Last House, and I would highly encourage anyone who struggles with the grasps of addiction and/or alcoholism to trust in them and give yourself to the program. It really DOES work if you work it, I am one of countless other examples of how it does! I will always stay connected to my brothers and family that I've met along this path of recovery, and it's all thanks to "The Last House on the block". Thank you for my life, again and again and again.
