This place quite literally saved my life. The house is welcoming and comfortable, as is the staff. They’ve become an extended family to me. The food, prepared by the private chef is top-notch, and the weekend outings are incredibly fun. The group offerings are diverse, incredibly therapeutic, and well-balanced. Shout out to Andy and Chuy — dopest group leaders. All of the therapists are fantastic. I’m especially fond of Jenn, the best therapist I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend this place enough.

I had a wonderful experience at Harmony Place. The staff is professional, knowledgeable and kind. The facility is lovely and immaculate. The food is terrific, which is a definite boon in the kind of times of great emotional and physical that the residents are experiencing. I couldn’t recommend it more to people struggling with substance addiction.

I worked with Nelson while we were trying to get my son into harmony place. He was so knowledgeable, caring, professional, and most of all supportive while dealing with the process of the insurance part. He checked up on my son and I almost everyday and offered his support as much as he could over the phone. Without him we would have been lost figuring out everything. Meeting the staff also put my husband and I at ease knowing our son was in good hands. I can’t wait to see how much our son will grow in this program.

5 Stars

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.

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!

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.

We Help People Change Their Lives

Real Stories. Real Recovery

Harmony Place is the best treatment center I have ever been to, out of the 7 times I have been to treatment. The staff is amazing and truly cares about every single person in the program. This is also the first time I’ve ever felt like my voice was being heard regarding issues. The Community Meeting is great, Jeff and Mary Lou really do listen and do their best to accommodate every client. I am truly grateful to have found Harmony Place, and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. Jeff is a great guy, and truly cares about everyone that comes into his program. Through Harmony Place I was able to rediscover myself and become more confident in my abilities to stay clean and sober. The amount of groups and the topics are excellent.

Willingness to Help

Willingness to help with documentation related to work leave. I did not receive the same level of service in this regard when I was at the detox center. I also very much appreciated the introduction to the 12 Steps and the variety of assignments.

I Have a Life Beyond My Wildest Dreams

I have attended an IOP3 program in January of 2018. After about a month I left, thinking I was “cured”. Needless to say, I didn’t remain sober very long. I had relapsed and was off to races. It wasn’t long until my life had become a mess and everything felt hopeless. Around November of 2018, Alma had called me out of the blue to do a wellness check. She offered for me to come in and I agreed. I went into the PHP program terrified, but I knew I had to make a change. Continuum helped me find myself for the first time in my life and introduced me to the 12 Steps. Today I live a life beyond my wildest dreams and forever grateful for the help they gave me.

Thank You for Putting So Many Families Back Together

Treatment for the New Millennium

Drug treatment programs that… helps the patient feel at home during their stay. This really is treatment for the new millennium!

– JZ

One of the Best Drug Rehab Centers in California

When my friend called and told me that she was going in to treatment again I was a little skeptical. This was going to be her third attempt at recovery. I guess that you could say that I had given up hope. She has been sober for almost a year now, and it is awesome to have my friend back! They have to be one of the best drug rehab centers in California.

This Place Literally Saved My Life

This place literally saved my life. After overdosing, my parents forced me to check into rehab… After interviewing many other facilities, I decided to go to Harmony Place from my home in Phoenix. I was struggling with…a drug addiction and had been trying for years to recover. In the past, left 2 treatment centers AMA and 1 AWOL. I had very negative experiences in the other treatment facilities, especially with my therapists, so I didn’t go in with an open mind or good attitude- even though they worked with my parents regarding finances. However, the staff was patient with me. The techs were kind, knowledgeable, and many were in recovery themselves. If I was having a particularly tough day, they made sure to talk to me and help me get through it…the groups were also pretty helpful, especially relapse prevention. I came in hating Alcoholics Anonymous and the staff was okay about it and didn’t shove it down my throat. They helped me identify my triggers and why I use. I’ve never completed treatment anywhere, until I came here. I have 2 years sober today, and it started at Harmony Place. I sound like I work for them, but I don’t- I’m just so grateful for what they did for me. And I get it if a past client is angry and wrote a horrible review- I used to be really angry, too. But I just wanted to share my experience with Harmony Place…

I Will Be Forever Grateful

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 2014 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…who walks through the door. Their personal and professional experience with addiction is extensive, and their dedication to helping each client successfully through…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 2-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…

I Was Very Pleased With My Experience

I Could Not Imagine a Better Place

As a physician I see many troubled people pass through my doors. Some need advice and some need serious help and intervention. Harmony Place is an escape from a troubled reality for many sometimes that’s all that is needed! 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…

I’ve Been Searching for the Perfect Words…And Still Can’t Find Them

I left Harmony Place in August of 2015 and I have been searching for the perfect words to describe my experience during my stay; and still I can’t really find them. How do you really describe a place with a staff and a program that saved you? Addiction is a terrible thing to go through and a heart breaking thing for your loved ones to watch. Many people, including myself go into different treatment centers throughout their addiction searching for ways to find recovery. Nothing worked for me, not the 5 rehab stays I had, then, I came here. I was hesitant to receive any kind of real help at first, and the staff knew that. I thought I could BS my way through this treatment center like I did with all the other ones. Annnnnnnd I was wrong. God I was wrong…they didn’t force the program down my throat, they didn’t force their treatment plans down my throat, they were patient, and kind. Which to me, was really surprising since I had been surrounded by well, not the best crowd before I walked through those…doors. They listened to me. My fears, concerns, my stories (yes, even the stupid ones). They treated me like a human, like I was normal. Like there was nothing wrong with me. And that was really beautiful. Especially because I believed during that time, that everything was wrong with me. They saw my potential when I couldn’t.

And now??? I’ll have two years clean on June 30th. I work a full time job (40 hours a week and them some) with full benefits! Me! Sure, a lot of the work, staying clean, that was my decision and has been through out these last two years, but; they gave me the stepping stones, they held my hand in the beginning and never let go. A part of my heart will always be with them and I will always be grateful for all the love they gave me during one of the hardest times of my life. I love you guys with every inch of my heart. Thank you for all that you did for me.

Harmony Place is a Special Place

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 knew immediately that this was the right place for my child… Harmony Place is specifically designed for…and tailored to providing a safe environment. The staff [are knowledgeable and some are in recovery]. 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. I would recommend Harmony Place to anyone who is looking for a small setting… My daughter is currently going into sober living and her counselors 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”. “There is no treatment center out there that is designed like Harmony Place- it’s a special place”!

I Want You To Know How Grateful I Am For You

Hi Harmony Staff It’s Brittney D. I wanted to reach out and tell you the best news and to say thank you. I found out yesterday evening that April 11 is the date that after 12 long years I finally get to be reunited with my son. I have no idea what made you decide to give me one last chance at Harmony Place 3 years ago but there will never be words for the life changing decision you made for me to change not only the trajectory of my life but also every person in my family future from that day forward. What I found out yesterday was such a far out dream to me for so many years and I just want you to know how grateful I am for you. With the help of so many people that God strategically placed in path to help get me to this point, I will never forget the hopeless and fearful state I found myself in 3 years ago and for some unknown reason Harmony Place decided one more time they would help me. The amount of gratitude that over pours from my heart because I truly knew this was it. Thank you for everything and I can’t wait to get to share the first picture with my son with everyone that has helped make this possible. I hope you have a great weekend. Keep doing amazing things.

– Brittney D.

He Saves So Many Lives

Aww I miss Jeff he is an amazing man. He saves so many lives. He actually took me to get glasses while I was there. Took me to my appointment and all. I miss everyone there and the place too. Yall all saved my life. Thank you so much. I lived there in 2016. I’ve been clean for 6 years after 20 years of drug use and even longer on alcohol. Thank you all. I hope and pray I get the chance to visit again one day to thank you all in person again. But I live in West Virginia and it’s far away. It was a miracle I got to come in the first place. God bless you all for what you do.

How to Use Reviews to Evaluate a Rehab Center

Using reviews to evaluate a rehab center involves more than just looking at star ratings. Start by reading detailed patient testimonials to understand the quality of care, treatment programs, and staff support. Look for patterns in the feedback, such as consistent praise for compassionate counselors or concerns about facility conditions. Check multiple sources, including Google, Yelp, and specialized addiction treatment directories, to get a balanced perspective. Reviews can also reveal how the center handles insurance, aftercare programs, and personalized treatment plans. By carefully analyzing reviews, you can make a more informed decision and choose a rehab center that best meets your needs or those of your loved one.

How to Tell if Reviews are Accurate or Real

Not all online reviews are reliable, so it is important to evaluate them carefully. Look for detailed, specific experiences rather than generic statements, as these are more likely to be genuine. Reviews from verified patients or reputable directories carry more credibility. Watch for patterns in language or timing; multiple reviews posted within a short period using similar phrasing may indicate fake reviews. Cross-reference reviews across multiple platforms, such as Google, Yelp, and addiction treatment directories, to confirm consistency. By critically analyzing the content, source, and timing of reviews, you can better determine which feedback reflects true patient experiences and make an informed decision.

How to Leave a Review

Leaving a review for a rehab center helps others make informed decisions and provides feedback to the facility. Start by choosing a reputable platform, such as Google, Yelp, Healthgrades, or specialized addiction treatment directories. Be honest and specific about your experience, including aspects like staff professionalism, treatment programs, facility conditions, and support for long-term recovery. Avoid sharing personal medical details or sensitive information. Providing constructive feedback, whether positive or negative, helps future patients and encourages centers to maintain high standards of care.

Why Leave a Review

Leaving a review for a rehab center benefits both future patients and the facility itself. Reviews provide insight into the quality of care, treatment programs, and staff support, helping others make informed decisions about their recovery options. They also give the rehab center valuable feedback to improve services, maintain high standards, and address any concerns. Sharing your experience can contribute to the addiction recovery community by promoting transparency, accountability, and better overall care for everyone seeking treatment.

Absolutely the best recovery center around.

I am forever grateful to have had this experience. I would recommend anyone who wanted help to come here. This place literally saved my life. I have overcome so many obstacles that always stood in the way of my recovery. It’s not just because I was ready… the approaches the therapists use come from an empathetic, compassionate, and understanding place. They were able to hold the mirror up and help guide me through making solid changes.
