Free by the Sea

This place is an absolute game changer. I could've have asked for a better place to get right. It's almost like being on vacation. They take all different approaches to helping u recover from addiction. The food is amazing and The staff are great and it's almost like you become family. Greg, Kim, Amanda, Keefer, Kelsey, Tonya, Lisa, Nina, Diane, Pattie, Sabrina if your reading this I love you guys and miss you all. I can't wait to come for a speaker meeting one day. Ty for all your help!

When I came to Free by The Sea I was nervous and scared. Not knowing anyone and it not being home . Everyone was so welcoming though, and the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months. And now I go home in 2 days. I staid the whole 90 day program had classes had activities, and had the beach for my calmness. Being here felt like I was at a camp for adults not a treatment center. I meet a lot of good people here that I hope they will be on my journey beyond . But if they are not, I am glad that I met everyone and I hope that their stories go well for them as well. I would recommend free by the sea for sober clean time , and accountability. Gonna miss you free by the sea, but hope I never have to return unless I’m a special speaker. Thank you for all, and goodbye.

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.

My name is Shawn and tomorrow I leave Free by the Sea after spending five weeks here. I wanted to write this review to share my experience. Like all the other residents (patients), I didn’t come here on a winning streak. The moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with a warm welcome from the staff as well as several other residents. I was broken in every way and seeking change that I couldn’t accomplish on my own. What I hadn’t anticipated was coming to a place that would change my life in ways I never imagined. The campus is located a couple hundred yards from the Pacific Ocean. A pickle ball court, and a beach volleyball court is surrounded by a walking path in the back of the property. All classes, as well as our AA and NA meetings, are held in the same room which hosts a TV that plays movies, shows, and sports (go Hawks and Mariners) during our free time. The food is amazing and all you can eat. There is also a snack room that is open around the clock for those late night snackers. You will never go hungry here. Also, another favorite part of being here is their Sound Bath class, and art class. They mix it up here to provide more options that contribute to recovery. One word to describe the staff is amazing. most of them are in recovery themselves, so it’s safe to say that you’re interacting with people who have been in your shoes and understand what you’re going through. They’re always available to help in any way they can. Their work is more than a job to them. The work they do is because they truly care. They take great pride in witnessing the growth of the residents, and watching the change in them from the time they arrive to the day they leave. The love they share a second to none, and they are a huge reason why my stay here will be unforgettable. To all the staff, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Finally, I want to talk about the other residents whom I had the privilege to share my time with. My favorite part about being here was not only getting well myself, but watching everyone here grow and become better people . We became more like family rather than just acquaintances. Some of my best counseling sessions came from my conversations with them. I got to watch people peel the layers, become vulnerable, and share things about their life that maybe they thought they weren’t going to be able to share when they got here. I got to watch these men and women grow and change day by day. It’s been an extraordinary thing to watch and be a part of. All in all, whether you have been to treatment before, or this is your first time, free by the sea is the place you want to be. I’ve never felt so prepared to get back into the world and tackle life again. I’ll carry my experience here with me always. I entered here a broken man, and I leave a man with a solid foundation ready to help others who share similar stories is mine. Until then, stay safe and may the best always be with you.
