The Camp Recovery Center

Sorry, and sad, and empty handed. Where I had hoped to feel grateful and glad and full of hope. But isn't that the way it goes? The grove of second or third-growth redwoods fill a dankish dell or combe. That's it. My counselor was in the dankest cabin in the dankest section of the very small dell. I liked that fact, although if you do go to the Camp, Frances is the worst counselor and she will tell you so. "I wish I had the 'skills' of the other counselors" she said. She says: "You already have the skills you need t... read more

My son was in rehab at The Camp and having problems with interpersonal relationships. He requested to go to another facility so they highly recommended Sober Living by the Sea in Newport Beach, a very expensive rehab. What they failed to tell us,is that they own Sober Living by the Sea! Obviously it was in their best interest to keep my son in their system since this is a huge money making venture. What they didn't tell us is how high the relapse rate is at Sober Living by the Sea. After my son relapsed, we got him into anot... read more

This place is a joke. I have serious medical conditions, and decided to get off the pain medications, the nurses do not care, the main guy is a jerk, they don't let you rest during withdrawl you're forced to go to class sweating and uncomfortable. I was forced to leave after throwing up blood and having seizures. Yet they had a doctor, which you go see with 7 other people. It's an all day trip. I had things stolen, I had no time to think about myself. It was all about them. They're ways and what they want. They took me off o... read more

This place is a $money$ making scheme. They provide ZERO aftercare planning support unless you agree to their own program. Conveniently they wait until the last minute to even begin discussing a post residential plan. The second you mention the name of a "competing" facility in the area you will receive NO calls or emails back. Plan B is always to "extend care at The Camp" , no kidding - more time = more $money$. My family member attended this program for 30 days and never even saw a licensed psychiatrist. You would think ... read more

The "holistic approach" what a joke. What that means is that none of the intelligent people who's faces are on the website have anything to do with the actual clients. They hand these "techs" and counselors a stack of paper which is passed around and it has some info on behaviors or triggers or something to kill time. My case manager Glenn was awesome though for real. Sue lied to my face twice and Jeff, well his position should be held by a smarter man. Didn't get to see Psychiatrist til beginning of my 3rd week. A tiny fra... read more

I'm taking the time now as horrible as I feel from Detoxing to write this. Today I called to see about getting admitted to The Camp for detoxing from using marijuana after 20 years and the last with the last years being everyday all day. I'm also """BIPOLAR 1""" and I'll explain in a min why that is in all caps. I called and spoke Stephanie who was very nice and we talked for about 10-15 min as she took down all my information then said she would need to transfer me to someone else to speak about the intake portion assess... read more

Dear Potential Clients!! This place is very deceiving and I would recommend you truly find an alternative treatment centers! We were all set to have my son be admitted to the Camp and my wife made all the arrangement with their Director of Admissions. According to her she clearly defined to my wife of 39 years that payment in full was expected before admissions. I mention my length of time being married to illustrate my next point! Traveled 280 + miles with my son to this place in Santa Cruz, fully expecting to be tra... read more

No good. Runs like a machine. In the helping profession you must treat people with love, empathy and compassion if you are to get anywhere with patients. This place is run by a giant corporation and it's about numbers. Save your money and find a place that takes a max of 6 or 8 with individualized care. I got lost through the cracks at the camp and received 0 treatment. Now with 8 years of sobriety and a level head I see I was scammed. Good Luck!

If there we zero stars I would choose that option. There are drugs going around this place! There is clearly some sort of security issue. My boyfriend is there now and he is serious about getting clean and sober and he is a week and a few days from finishing the program. Today he was offered the exact drug that he is addicted to. He is dealing with the situation with the rehab center now, but this is still an outrage. Where is the security? How can an addict feel safe and recover properly if the very thing he or she just got... read more
