Mike S from Whittier, CA.
I am ever so grateful to the team at South Coast Recovery for helping me finally achieve lasting sobriety. I had been battling with my drug and alcohol addiction for many years, I had tried countless times to quit on my own. I had tried a few other programs but nothing seemed to ever work. A friend of mine suggested that I give this program called South Coast Recovery a try so I did! I spent a little over seven months in a very warm " One big family" type atmosphere with a lot of support from others that were going thru the same thing I was, it was great to know I wasn't alone. Here I am almost three years later still sober and living a "quality" life. There is not a day that goes by that I dont thank God for leading me to the doors of this wonderful program.

Our daughter, Kate, came to SouthCoast unsure of herself and angry at the world. She left SouthCoast with a newfound sense of calm, and with a firm foundation in recovery. Both Dennis and Kirsten offer individualized attention, a nurturing environment, as well as the structure necessary for a new way of life. There are no guarantees in recovery from addiction. But SouthCoast provided an excellent beginning for Kate that we believe will give her a good opportunity for the healthy, successful life she deserves.

My name is Amanda L. I was a resident at South Coast Recovery almost a year ago, it was an experience that changed my life. I came to South Coast after a thirty day inpatient rehab, it was suggested to me that if I wanted to stay sober I needed to get more help. I was not willing to pick up and leave the life that I had made for myself but a part of me knew that to stay sober I would have to. My mother brought me out to California and left me in the hands of Dennis and Kirsten. South Coast picked up right where the my rehab left off, I learned more about myself and learned how to live life on life's terms. Life does happen and that's what I was scared about, I had always been so messed up on drugs and alcohol that life just felt like a big dream. Thanks to South Coast I recently celebrated my first year sobriety on October 18th and Kirsten and Dennis were both there to support me. Not only did South Coast make me a better person but I made friends along the way, I can honestly say that Dennis and Kirsten care about what happens to me and to this day I still run some of the decisions that I make in my life by those two. I think the best feeling is knowing that they are both here for me if I need them. I have a family out here even though I have long since moved out, I know that I can always come back and have dinner or sit and talk to the residents. Most of all, I feel a part of something, a great thing. SouthCoast save peoples lives, they saved my life and for that I will be forever grateful.

I guess I just wanted to say... that I will never forget that South Coast has done for me what no other program could do, give me the will and tools to say clean and sober, and allow me to turn my life around to where it is today - thanks!
