I loved my time at Golden State Rehab. I came in needing a safe place to get myself together,
and that is exactly what I found here. The staff gave me the space, support, and patience I
needed to heal without ever making me feel judged or rushed.Working with Viola was amazing. She helped me open up, look at things honestly, and do real
work on myself. I left feeling like I understood my recovery and my mental health in a much
better way.Juanita led every group with so much love and care. Her groups always felt safe, honest, and
meaningful, and she has a way of making people feel comfortable even when the topics are
hard. I learned a lot from her and from everyone in the room.By the time I finished, I felt like I was leaving with a full toolbox, a clearer mind, and more
confidence in my sobriety. I’m grateful for the whole team at Golden State Rehab, including
the people I may not have mentioned by name. I really felt like I was in good hands here.

What people are saying
Golden State Rehab gave me a second chance at life and helped me get my sobriety back.
From the moment I got there, the place felt safe, calm, and welcoming. The location is
amazing and it honestly felt like a home away from home.
The staff really care about your recovery. Juanita and Scott helped me through some of the
hardest parts and made sure I never felt like I was doing it alone. Big thank you to them and
the whole Golden State Rehab team for helping me heal and start feeling like myself again.
They also got me a cake for my birthday !! It isn’t just a place for treatment it feels like family
For myself it’s been less then a month that I have been
here. To share my experience here. It’s been one of
the best programs by far. All the facilitators have a lot
of experience in recovery and walk the talk. They are
fun and are attentive to our needs and want to see us
shine and have a beautiful out look on recovery.
There’s never a dull moment as far as participation
and perception. We appreciate this program and
hands down. We recommend this place 💯
This place is truly amazing! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and
treated with genuine care and respect. The staff is incredible and goes above and
beyond to make sure everyone feels heard, understood, and encouraged. You can tell
they are passionate about the work they do and truly want to see people succeed.The groups are also excellent. They are informative, engaging, and provide helpful tools
that can be applied to everyday life. The facilitators create a comfortable and supportive
environment where people can be honest, participate, and learn without feeling judged.
I have gained so much insight, encouragement, and motivation from the groups and the
staff.I am extremely grateful for the support I received here. This program has made a
positive difference in my life, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a
safe, caring, and supportive place to grow, heal, and move forward. Thank you to the
entire staff for everything you do!
My experience here at the golden state has been
delightful. From all the staff top to bottom has been
pleasant to encounter with. This place is a great to
recover from whatever life has thrown at you.
The best program ive been in since i started my
recovery journey . The staff and owners actually listen
to you and show genuine care which ive never
experienced before . The groups are very engaging
and very fun ! Ive grown more in my short time here at
golden state rehab than i have in my entire journey of
recovery . If your serious about getting sober and want
to grow while have genuine connections and having
fun then i cant recommend golden state rehab enough
!
My experience with Golden State Recovery has been truly life-changing. The staff genuinely cares about the people they serve and creates an environment where you can feel supported, respected, and encouraged while working toward a better life.
What stood out to me most was the compassion and understanding. Recovery isn’t easy, but having people around you who believe in you, hold you accountable, and remind you that your past doesn’t have to determine your future makes a huge difference.
I’m grateful for the support, guidance, and encouragement I received at Golden State Recovery. If you’re serious about making a change and looking for a place that understands the recovery journey, I would definitely recommend giving them a chance.
Honestly, after detox, I had no idea what came next. I knew I wanted to change my life, and I had made the decision to get clean, but once detox was over, I felt completely lost. I had the “okay, I’m changing my life” part down... I just didn’t have a clue what that actually looked like. 😂
That’s when I found Golden State Rehab. I’m still early in my journey, but the difference has been huge. They’re not just focused on my addiction. They’re helping me figure out how to actually put my life back together, one piece at a time.
For the first time, I feel like I’m not just running away from my old life. I’m actually building a new one.
Still a work in progress, obviously. But hey, at least now I have a plan, some people in my corner, and a little hope that maybe I can actually pull this thing off. 😂
I don’t know where to begin. Golden State has honestly been the best experience out of all the programs Ive been to. You can really tell they care about each one of their clients recovery. They have the best staff, the group facilitators that actually love to lead group and teach. They bring such a warm welcoming right when you walk through the door! Thank you guys so much for caring about each one of us!! I will recommend this place to everyone!
