  • I really needed help and this place wasted absolutely no time getting me help. I had a problem with pills and reach out to these guys. They legit got me in that night. I called a few other centers before but those places weren't as proactive in getting me help like these guys were. I was here for 2 months and it changed my life. I appreciate that all their staff did their best to keep my spirits up. Everyone is supportive and they really do their best to get you better. I'd recommend this place if you are serious about putting an end to your addiction.

  • I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I cannot express enough, the sadness I feel for the families who have to deal with these "rehabs." I experienced some of the most unprofessional follow-up, phone calls, and voicemail messages. They do NOT do what they tell you they will for your loved one. I visited my son, as it was the holidays. Presents he was given were stolen, his phone was stolen, good luck finding anyone to care. The house manager most accidentally answered my phone call and then after stating the above, "had to call me back," and hung up. While many & most of these places are not genuine, I would recommend moving right past this one.

  • Came here from out of state and at first I didn't want to. My family wanted me to get out of Portland and get some real help so they brought me here. Staff was always nice and kind which made it easier when I got homesick. Overall good experience because they were super supportive and I did get clean (still clean). I'd recommend this place.

  • Definitely a great place to come if you have an addiction problem. Was here for 45 days and I 'm still going strong with my recovery. They take the time to get to know you here and they go out of their way to make sure you complete your program here. They rung a great program here.

  • Highly recommend Sobertec. The main reason why I got better is because of the therapist I was working with. We really uncovered some things I kept buried for so long. Even when my family wasn't supportive, I knew I could rely on the staff here.

  • Very satisfied that I brought my brother here. He was in a really bad place a year ago and needed serious help with the prescription meds he was addicted to. Talked to other centers and they seemed very eager to talk dollars to me. When I called these guys they actually took their time to get to understand my brother's situation. After months of treatment, my brother came out a new man and I couldn't be more proud of him.

  • Getting sober and staying sober are two different battles. Sobertec helped me with both. Yeah it's hard but nothing worth fighting for comes easy right.This center plays a huge role in my recovery and I'll never forget that. I highly recommend this center.

  • Relapsed a year ago and was really ashamed of myself. When I came here, there was no judgement at all. I was genuine and serious about my recovery and it seems that the staff was genuine with me as well. There was one particular driver that really got to me and he really changed my outlook on my sobriety. I was doing it for the wrong reasons before and he helped me see that I should be doing it for myself. From then on it clicked and I've been sober for a year now.

  • Really nice center. They really do provide everything you need here. It was a little intimidating at first because I came in not knowing anyone and because I came from a different state but everyone here was so nice and friendly. They have days planned out for you so my days flew by during my treatment. I did get to learn more about myself and my addiction and now that I know what is going on, it's easier for me to stay away from any sort of temptation that would cause me to relapse.

  • Amazing program. My brother was struggling with alcoholism and they really took care of him. Whenever he had a hard time, he just talked it out with the workers and they helped cheer him up and push him to finish his program. My family really appreciates what they did for him.

  • They run a great dual diagnosis program here. I came in because my addiction to antidepressants. My therapists help me overcome my depression and anxiety issue. Not only am I going to be sober for a year in two months but this center helped me build the confidence I need in life and they helped me overcome the stigma of being a recovering addict. Great program and amazing staff.

  • This place helped out my son in so many ways. We brought him here from Colorado because he wasn't making any progress at the program he was in. Every time we came out to visit him we could just see how much change he went through in such a small amount of time. The staff constant reached out to me on his progress and they helped him out. All I can do is thank the staff here for saving his life.

  • The staff here are genuinely kind. I've relapsed in the past and knew I needed to go to another center so my family brought me to Sobertec in California. I expected people to give me major guilt trips because of my relapse (because I've seen this done at the previous center I went to in Florida) but this place didn't do that. They welcomed me in, understood that I was human and helped me through ALL of my problems (even helped me settle in Cali). Seriously great people and great experience. I've been sober for 187 days now and it's because they played a big role in my recovery.

  • Solid treatment program in my opinion. I was one of those kids that came here because my family brought me here. What I liked is that off that bat, as soon as I got there the staff was so welcoming it made it hard not to take it seriously. I worked day in and day out with my case manager and she put everything I needed to do to get sober out for me, all I had to do was roll up my sleeves and actually commit to it. Once I did that a light went off in my head and I knew I wanted to be the person I was when I was clean. My opinion is that you just need to take your program here seriously. If you do that, the staff here will make sure you'll get to where you need to be.

  • Recovery here was worth it. I was a little stubborn about leaving home but I'm glad I did because I needed to get away from the drugs back home. Yeah it was hard and some days I didn't feel like doing anything but they kept working with me until it finally clicked in my head that this is what I need to do to get clean. I suggest this place to anyone and everyone who asks me where to go for recovery.

  • Food was horrible most nights. Some of the people working there were totally ineffective. They lied to my dad about where I was and the accommodations. A lot of the days we did not do much of anything and the days that we had sessions were repetitive and not helpful. I was back on drugs 2 days after my discharge
    This place is a total money grab. I was lied to about everything before hand. None of the houses are near the beach, the food is terrible. One night we only got Mac and cheese for dinner and we had hot dogs multiple times. The group's were ok as long as the person leading it could keep control. At least half the group's would turn into people joking around... It was very frustrating. The staff never knew what was going on, you were never told anything, and you were constantly waiting on things. The majority of the staff was rude and if you needed something it was almost impossible to get it. The vans constantly had to many people in them. Everytime they made a mistake they tried to say it was some kind of learning opportunity and they wouldn't apologize. The weekend before I got there my house had been on lock down, because medication had been stolen out of the safe. They took phones and people were locked in their rooms. The entire experience was terrible. There are much better facilities than this one.

  • The houses were smaller, (6-8 girls total) therefore I gained a great bond with my house mates, and in the long run helped me be vulnerable and open through the program. The only weakness this facility had was the cleanliness. I kept getting ant bites all over my body. Even though I was only at the treatment center for three weeks it made a great impact on my recovery. Because it was so beautiful and we did so many fun things, it attracted me to want sobriety.
