Ok, so this is for anyone suffering from addiction. I am 38 years old, I am a white male. I was addicted to Fentanyl and methamphetamine, I was on a two year run, when I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired. After researching, I set things up to go into hotel California by the sea. This was by far the best option, according to the research I had done. Let me tell you, it absolutely was the best option. First off the intake was super easy, the guy I got on the phone was completely understanding. I missed my first appointment time and came the next day, I missed the next appointment time by two hours but they were fine with it. The detox process was absolutely the least painful detox I have ever been through. They got me to see a dr right away who listened to me and adjusted my medication accordingly based on what I informed had and hadn't worked for me in the past. Zero pain, no precipitated withdrawals for the first time In my life and im a bigger man, so I go through precipitated withdrawals every single time and I go through them for days. Not this time. From that point we were off to a great start. I went to my residential treatment house from there. It is a beautiful house. The techs(guys that run the house) were utterly amazing. Each one had a different strength that complemented the other ones perfectly. BRUNO M, I praise that man for his inspiration and drive for sobriety. YOEL, for his compassion. Steven for just utterly caring but knowing not to get involved to a point of being unprofessional(thank you Steven, I know i could tell that guy anything and he would be right there to guide and back me up. Major shoot out to him). Chris for taking care of us while we slept and being a man of god, i could talk to him about good and although younge he knows. They were all like hand picked by a master mind it felt like. LOL, as crazy as that sounds, its how it felt. Then there was my clinical team, major shoot out to Chuck for helping my understand my tramas and how to proceed through them safely. As well as brian for being my mirror, showing me how to take accountability and deal with my shit like a man. Go brain, he's the shit, but so is Chuck. For that matter the whole team. Special shoot out Roger, Great therapist as well. Helped me see my issues with my mom. The groups were transformative in learning why I do what I do and how to do things differently. Like shit I should have learned so long ago but no one taught me. Thank you for that, all of you thank you so much. This place is amazing. If your tired of Running from the fear of getting sober and the pain you think your going to go through to do it. Then run no further you found your safe landing zone. If you were anything like me, you made date after date. Telling yourself im going to get sober this day and that day would come and you would talk yourself out of it. You dont have to do that anymore. This place let me find the me that I lost so long ago with drugs and alcohol. They really truly did. My family is happy they have me back and I am so happy im back. I feel like the man I always knew I could be if the drugs and drinking was lifted from me. Hotel California gave me my life back and I am externally greatful to everyone there. Special shoot out to Roman, this man is on fire for sobriety and he will ignite that flame within you from just one group. Everyone there cares about you from the lowest man all the way to top of the ladder. You'll never know who is who, unless you ask. You will just know they care. So family's if you want your loved one back, this is the place, I promise you. There's a before and after for you in my photos.
Great place if you’re ready to clean and sober this the spot. Not only are the living areas and houses comfortable (right by the beach) the staff will go out of there way beyond measure to make sure you are comfortable during this life change. Shout out to Chris for working late and picking me up at the airport long after his shift when he didn’t have to you can tell he really cares. All the staff will treat you with dignity and respect Tina check me in to detox she is super super sweet! I highly recommend hotel California by the sea. If you are ready to take control of your life and ask for help reach to themyou will not regret it.
I can’t say enough about this treatment center—it truly changed my life. The experience was unlike anything I’ve ever seen offered in recovery. They took us out on a yacht, which not only gave me a sense of peace and clarity, but also reminded me of the beauty life has to offer when you’re sober.
More than the setting, it was the clinical team that made the difference. They didn’t just help me stop using—they helped me get honest with myself, dig deep, and face the things I used to run from. For the first time, I felt seen, supported, and understood. The staff genuinely cared and pushed me in all the right ways.
This place gave me tools for life, not just sobriety. I walked in broken and left with a new foundation—one built on truth, accountability, and hope. If you’re ready for change, this is where it starts.
Hotel is a very special place. By far the the most accommodating and real experience in treatment I've had to date.
The staff here is amazing, and don't hold any punches. They've all been through it and just genuinely want to help.
They really do care and the staff are always there for you when your going through something or just need to talk.
And it's right by the beach. They take you almost everyday. What more could you ask for?
All in all, a rock solid program 👊
If you're looking for a great rehab and ready to get sober I highly recommend coming to Hotel California by the sea. The staff are very knowledgeable about addiction and recovery. They have everything you will need to change your life. Therapy doctors case manager individual sessions. They give you all you need to succeed. You can even take a trip on Yacht the Orca Too. I know it's changed my life let it change yours. The first step is getting your foot in the door. Change your life for the better.
