  Amazing experience at cbh, they did dress code me a ridiculous amount of times but after I communicated they were dress coding me for my body they were receptive and stopped. Food is amazing, nursing staff are really cool, the group I was with had some amazing ppl. The phone time is 30 minutes-1hour for 3 days out of the week. The groups were very helpful and the therapists were amazing. This is a truly one of a kind place and I would highly recommend. They will not let you play cards against humanity and also failed to return two expansion packs that I bought and REQUESTED back (not cool Paul and Melissa 😒) but thank you for having me here!!! It was amazing and truly inspiring and helped me in my recovery a ton.

  I can’t say enough good things about my experience at California Behavioral Health. From the moment I arrived, the staff treated me with genuine compassion, respect, and professionalism. The therapists, medical team, and support staff truly care about each person’s recovery and well-being. The program is comprehensive — blending therapy, group work, and holistic activities that helped me understand myself on a deeper level and build healthy habits for life after treatment. The facility itself is beautiful, peaceful, and well-maintained, which made it easier to focus on healing. What really stood out was how personalized the care felt. They took time to understand my needs and created a plan that worked for me. I left feeling stronger, more self-aware, and full of hope. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction or mental health issues, I highly recommend California Behavioral Health. They truly changed my life.
