What Our Patients Say About Us

It may save your life.

I was referred to Free by The Sea by a detox facility and I am so grateful that I was. Free by the sea gives you everything you need to start a life in recovery. The fact that I was able to see a therapist a doctor and a counselor all on property was so helpful. I really enjoyed the earned freedom that you get after moving from residential treatment to php. I was able to leave property and visit family or work, while always having a safe place to come back to with accountability and support. The staff is very friendly and the food is a huge bonus.
Being so close to the ocean and nature make for a very healing environment.
I would definitely recommend making the investment in yourself and giving yourself the opportunity to better your life by coming to Free By The Sea If you or a loved one struggles with addiction. It may save your life.

I would recommend Free by the Sea to anyone in need of SUD services

I would recommend Free by the Sea to anyone in need of SUD services. They provide three levels of treatment, so they have something for everyone. The facility has a rustic and homey vibe. The view of the ocean is beautiful and being able to walk on the beach is inspiring and freeing. Many of the staff at Free by the Sea are in recovery themselves. They meet clients where they are at and truly care about their recovery. The kitchen staff make home cooked meals with love. All in all my stay at Free by the Sea was enriching and life giving.

Free by the Sea is truly a remarkable place that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and understanding. The facility itself is well-maintained and provides a peaceful environment conducive to healing and growth. Being so close to the ocean adds a serene, calming presence that nurtures the spirit and helps in the recovery process. What truly sets this place apart is the staff. The team at Free by the Sea is beyond amazing. Their dedication and genuine care for each individual are palpable in every interaction. They go above and beyond to ensure that each person feels supported and empowered. The counselors, medical staff, and support team all work seamlessly together to create a holistic and nurturing experience. As you settle in, something extraordinary happens—you begin to form deep connections with others in recovery. These individuals become your family, sharing in your struggles and triumphs. The bond that develops is unbreakable, offering strength and support that extend far beyond your time here. I never expected to find such a level of care and commitment, and I am immensely grateful for the positive impact they have had on my journey. This experience in healing is one I will never forget. If you're looking for a place that offers not just treatment, but also compassion, community, and a path toward renewal, Free by the Sea is the perfect choice. Highly recommended! Heeellllloooo, this is my heartfelt endorsement of a place that truly transforms lives.

Free by the sea truly changed my life. I came here broken, scared, uncertain, and unsure why and how I wanted to stop using substances. I left liking and loving myself so much more, with the knowledge about how and why I want to stay sober. I am so grateful for all the staff here, all of them. Special shoutout to Jared, Kurt and my counselors Brian and sue, who helped me introspect and learn who I am on a deeper level. I do think the care here is out of the ordinary in a good way, and the name is not just a cliche or play on words, I was truly freed by the sea. The structure of classes is very nice, and the community of peers at the time I was here aided me greatly. I am so grateful to God for bringing me free by the sea, and changing me for the better through this program.

I had the pleasure of staying at free by the sea for there residential program. The property is beautiful and very peaceful. The staff is very helpful, friendly and nice.The meals and kitchen staff are AMAZING. The counselors are great and really care about you and your recovery. Their program is also very helpful and informative. The only thing I would change is the amount of phones that the residential clients have access to use, (only one) and also the area it is used (the front lobby). Other than that, this place is amazing and I strongly recommend it to anyone who is in need of treatment. I definitely plan on staying in touch with the staff members and giving them updates on my recovery. I most definitely made great friendships with most of them!!!!

I recently just completed my 30 day inpatient program here at Free by the Sea, and i cant tell you how much I highly recommend this facility. Not only does the staff genuinely care about your sobriety and well being, but the classes teach you everything you need to know in order to stay sober on the outside when you go back home. Bonus they have yoga, and singing bowls, AA and NA meetings. The food is absolutely amazing, the kitchen staff throw down. Then there are the other residents here. I have found my recovery circle and true friends at Free by the Sea. If you are looking to get clean and sober this is the best place to be.
