I went to SOBAs residential and sober living program and it really helped me on my journey with recovery. The facility was great and so were the people. Mike C in particular was so great, he was kind, compassionate and welcoming and he also kept it real with me which was exactly what I needed. Couldn’t recommend SOBA enough.
If you are struggling with mental health or the disease of addiction I highly recommend SOBA. It is hard to put in to words how amazing this facility is. You truly are seen and heard here, you aren't just a number at an institution. It is a small personal environment that makes you feel like you're at a home away from home.
It's never easy taking that first step to getting help. But trust me, if you do it with SOBA, you'll be happy that you did.
The nursing staff, tech staff, clinicians, supervisors (Mike & Michelle) and the director do a fantastic job to create a safe space to learn, heal, and recover.
I am so grateful for my time there and for the bonds that I formed with the clients and especially the staff.
It works if you work it.
I highly recommend soba to anyone struggling with addiction. I'm very grateful started my recovery here. I did the detox and residential program. The tech staff is lovely, the food is great, and the place is clean.
The best part was that got to attend an AA or NA meeting almost every night. I learned a lot here and I'm grateful for the experience. Thanks soba! :')
I spent 10 days in SOBA's detox unit and 20 days in residential. The "Tech" and clinical staff were incredibly kind, empathetic, informative, and inspirational, particularly "Tech" Director Mike Costagliola, who managed my intake and was a fantastic resource throughout, and Clinician Robert Sena, who was assigned to oversee my treatment and progress, which he did with kindness, grace, insight and respect. A stage was set by the aforementioned, and many others on staff, as well as guest speakers, to not only give me tools for recovery, but an appreciation for myself and sober living going forth. The food was fine, particularly when Chef Joel was "in the house". The steam room and sauna, located in the downstairs Detox unit, which one might see in the brochure, were not particularly inviting, and to my knowledge, not used by anyone in my 32 days there...but hey, they are not exactly prerequisite tools for recovery. Gym access is available most days during Recreation time. While not on-site, it's a short drive away (provided by staff), at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital. The facility is state of the art and an important tool for recovery, accessible once one is in the Residential unit. Tech staffer Ryan Larrea is a standout among standouts, bringing his joyous, inspirational, understanding and kind demeanor to all patients. I am several days home know and continue on a happy, reinvigorated and SOBER journey going forth in my life. Many Thanks SOBA and a staff that I will always value greatly!!
