If I could give more than 5 stars to Coastal Detox of Southern California, I would…read more From our very first phone call, Nina, the owner, was hands-on, compassionate, and immediately solution oriented. When someone makes the decision to seek help, that moment is critical and she understood that. There was no runaround, no delay. Within less than 24 hours, my loved one was admitted and safely beginning medical detox. What truly stands out about Coastal Detox is the combination of professionalism, evidence-based treatment, and genuine heart. This is not a one-size-fits-all program. The care is individualized and holistic, with a strong clinical foundation. Services included medical detox, addiction therapy, trauma-informed therapy, clinical support, DBT, CBT, individual therapy, music therapy, and more all thoughtfully integrated into a personalized treatment plan. Nina is incredibly present and involved. She doesn't just oversee the program she cares deeply and stays engaged. Her clinical staff reflects that same energy: professional, knowledgeable, warm, and truly invested in each client's recovery. The intake process was smooth and efficient, which matters more than people realize. When someone is ready for help, the process needs to meet them with open arms and immediate action and Coastal Detox absolutely did. This place has been a true blessing for our family. We are beyond grateful for the care, integrity, and compassion shown every step of the way. If you're looking for a program that combines evidence-based excellence with heartfelt, hands-on leadership, this is it.

Knowing from personal experience, I am able to see transformation out of the dark places that addiction has us and the new found joy and light in the clients faces- especially interacting with the horses. Every time I am able to be a part of the program, I am witness to the hard work and commitment that the owner of the detox center, Nina, has put into making this program a success and the result is clear as day with the light of hope on all the clients faces and the laughter echoing throughout the big barn. It is truly an honor to be associated with a program with such integrity. Who knew that incredible programs that go above and beyond even existed? I think back to the stale, dreadful shaming program(s) that I went through, and there is no comparison. I have seen the proof, and if ever I was in the position of choosing where to start my sober journey... Coastal Detox of Southern California would be my choice!

But it didn't hurt or burn it just felt super warm and for myself just kinda weird and it felt like it was getting hotter Everytime I would breath . I had also injury my back which wasn't the reason I was going in for but he still went outta his way to help with that and my back feels a little sore but I can feel a difference for sure Thank you again can't wait for my second session.

I was so fortunate to find this place because I truly believe it saved my life…read more I was caught in the grips of the relentless cycle of addiction. I would have periods of time when I wanted to get clean but no matter what I tried I could not get out of this devastating cycle. Addicted to drugs for 15 years I was hopeless and running out of options. I was not only hurting myself but hurting my family. I stumbled across La Jolla Recovery online while desperately searching through countless treatment centers in search of one with a long-term option. I knew 30 days was simply not enough for a case like mine. I called the number and spoke to man, Daniel, whom I later found out was the owner. He walked me through the different phases of the program over the phone and gave me a rundown of what my day-to-day would look like at La Jolla Recovery. When I arrived to San Diego I was greeted by a women, Michelle, who worked at La Jolla Recovery and was also in Recovery from addiction herself. I remember feeling so relieved and hopeful that I too would be able to recover and take back control of my life. I was set up with a case manager, William, who was there to help me set and achieve goals during my stay. All of the counselors that lead groups are absolutely amazing, especially mine, Ashely. I was able to develop trust with them and work on myself during group therapy and in individual sessions which I attended weekly. The program is set up to get you into a safe environment where healing can start. As you phase up in the program you get more freedom. I was able to attend regular 12-step meetings where I built a fellowship of other recovering people. We also went on several outings and I learned that I didn't need drugs and alcohol to have a good time. There's so much more to life. We went to concerts, had barbecues and went to the beach. I enjoyed football and baseball games, surfing and snorkeling. They took us to the gym, to the movies, and to local events that we're going on in San Diego. I also did yoga, trauma therapy, art therapy, and music therapy. I cannot stress enough how amazing the staff is here! Almost everyone who works here is in recovery themselves and is truly here to help and inspire people including the owner who is hands on and makes himself available. As I phased up in the program I was able to gain a lot of things I had lost back such as my driver's license, a car, and a job. I also gained a better relationship with my family, a network people that want to help me succeed and an understanding of myself. I got back my sanity, self respect and my love for life. The support I recieved from my case manager, therapist and the BHT staff played a major role in my success. Today I have just over all year clean and I will be forever grateful to La Jolla Recovery. If you or a loved one is in need of treatment look no further! A highly, highly recommend you come to La Jolla and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed! If I can do it, anyone can!

I can't really speak on the quality of the IOP or PHP programs…read more My experience just... was not what I expected at all and I had since found better sober livings (which is saying a lot, because those were still inherently stressful but I at least stayed long-term. La Jolla Recovery set the bar very low). I've been in sober living for a year now, and I am now leaving. Never any relapses, graduated a program, did all the things. I'm at least in a better place from it. La Jolla Recovery was NOT that place for me. I began in April 2025. I stayed for a total of two nights before I had to leave to go to the emergency room, back to the inpatient. I was inpatient for about two weeks before I came to La Jolla Recovery. I had recently quit cannabis and was seeking mental health treatment. At first glance, it seemed chill. I had friends who had gone here and apparently had a positive experience. The groups were decent, staff were friendly, there was available snacks, etc. They had outings at the cove, etc. However, the sober living was......... awful! I stayed at a sober living house where I was immediately prescribed medication I had not taken while inpatient, but was forced to take it. One of these medications were entirely new to me, Trazodone. There was a delay in getting my mood stabilizers, anti-psychotic, and anti-anxiety medicine. I had never taken Trazodone before, but having nothing else available to me, I took it as prescribed/was pressured into taking it by the sober living manager who organized medications. The first night, I had stayed up ALL night. I was hyper vigilant, no need for sleep, and a little paranoid. During the day, it was... okay. I didn't really know what was impacting me considering how vulnerable my mental health was and the chaotic nature of being in sober living for the first time. The second night, I took the medication again. Again, I was feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed and restless/anxious. The sober living manager gave me a 2nd one, and I felt pressured to take it/was told "it would help me calm down and sleep"; that's when the shit show began. Immediately, I started hallucinating visual shapes and became scared. The best way I could describe it was "my brain was on fire." I have a history of epilepsy in childhood, and my first thought was "Oh my god, am I going to have a seizure?" My mind began severely racing and I asked her if I could call my parents and I thought I needed to go to the hospital. Coincidentally, my aunt called during this time. She, and another house manager, told her I had gone to sleep and didn't let her talk to me. This was a lie. I sat on the sofa, feeling severely anxious and panicked. I was not aggressive, overly disruptive, anything of the sort. Everyone was in their rooms at that point, as it was time for bed. I did, however, kept asking for them to call my parents because I was afraid I was having a medical emergency (I definitely was) and asked to go to the hospital. I had never hallucinated like that EVER, I had no previous history of psychosis. Initially, she told me "I am NOT going to let you ruin this house for the other girls," meanwhile, I had gotten along with the roommates and even knew some of them from having been in recovery before. I was clean, kind, and tried my best to be considerate. I introduced myself to people, wrote a note explaining my situation, and tried to be as mindful as I could be considering I was already in a vulnerable state, having experienced a death in my family, a sexual assault, and other traumatic occurrences within the few months prior to me seeking support and help. Then, she and the other woman (a fellow house manager?) threatened to call the police and have me taken away in handcuffs. I had done NOTHING illegal; I had no substances on my person, I respected everyone's space and items, I broke no laws. Holy hell, I was there for 2 days and was trying to get acclimated to a new environment. What was the crime, having a mental health episode as a result of a new medication mishap? Eventually, I was able to get my parents on the phone. They spoke to her directly and said that if I could leave the sober living in an ambulance, they would meet me at the hospital. I waited patiently for the ambulance and went to the emergency room, where I waited all night and was placed back in inpatient in the ICU at Sharp Mesa Vista. There, I was restabilized and put in a different sober living. The aggression from the house manager, the lack of empathy, the lying, and the arbitrary difficulty to even get into communication with my support system was actually insane. She felt like a wolf in sheep's clothing; fronted as a kind and caring person, but then would switch and be quite scary once I was in crisis. I was told by one of my friends who works in recovery that she has since left/been replaced, but oh my god, I pray that they thoroughly vet their housing managers at this point if they want retention. 0/5 stars. Avoid.

The supervising clinician of the place is so awesome, shes very approachable and easy to talk to. In fact if she quit today I would find another clinic. The office itself is clean and the nurses are well trained and capable. The lady behind the front desk is slightly less capable than I would like the front desk person to be she doesn't seem very sure of what she's doing or what's going on how to do her job very well.

I am currently self pay and you would think they would have some compassion for people looking to better them selfs but no. You miss an appointment by phone and the punish you by not letting you take your medicine smh seems kinda harsh. also you have to attend a phone group meeting before you dose NO they don't allow you to take your dose before the meeting , so you will have to sit through the meeting sick as a dog oh and they want you to participate while sick. But they are quick to not call you when you set up an appointment with them or they call you to reschedule?? What if your thinking of using and you need to talk you your counselor and they call you to reschedule smh. They do not prep you for holidays if you have to show up everyday you better go early they close their doors earlier than what they have on their business hours they will play with your dose they move you up in dose with out you allowing them or down. And if you tell them you have discomfort the tell you to sleep it off. All in all the people at the front desk are pretty cool it's the counselors (Derek) and management the ones who don't seem to care. Try calling the counselor Derek and see if you can understand him on his answering machine when he gives you his personal number 858-bfjdjdhdjdj extension (8!;):$) .... Since I am self pay I've been asking them to find me clinics that take my insurance and they just seem to not want to loose my 12$ a day I give them smh
