Amazing staff. I love my therapist so much. Director of operations always on top of everything. Ms.Danita always involved and meeting needs. My first rehab experience and I must say I got everything out of it I came for.

Lots of drama with the clients it will test your patience other than that it's a great place for recovery and growth .

Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago

Ruby, thank you for sharing your honest feedback and for recognizing Discovery Point Retreat as a place for recovery and personal growth. We understand that living alongside others who are navigating their own challenges can sometimes test your patience. Residential addiction treatment brings together people from different backgrounds and experiences, and learning to manage conflict, establish healthy boundaries, and communicate effectively can be valuable skills for life beyond treatment. That said, maintaining a respectful and supportive environment is important, and we appreciate your perspective on the group dynamics. We're glad you found value in the program despite those challenges. Thank you for being part of the DPR recovery community. We wish you continued growth, peace, and lasting success in your sobriety.

I had a wonderful experience here. Those who really want recovery will find community here, people from all walks of life are here. Addiction doesn't discriminate neither does Discovery Point Retreat. Being trans I was very nervous but every single person treated me humanely, especially the Recovery Coach Seth and Nurses and Therapist, the groups are extremely engaging and you will come out of the shell drugs and alcohol put you in. I came here becuase it's out in the middle of nowhere, I had zero temptations to walk 8 miles to the freeway to drink, alcohol is cunning baffling and powerful, if you want a summer camp type structure and the freedom to smoke all over acres of beautiful county and your ready to get sober come here, even if your not ready and your weak like me come, the other clients will uplift you and help you throughout your stay! Thank you Nurse Grace and Miss Crystal Katie and Miss Donita, thank you miss Kimberly,micha, andy and Shanita, oh and y'all just remember we are addicts and want more more more, now now now, learn to practice social intelligence and not try to inturpt a staff member on the phone or when 3 other people are trying to talk to them, you catch more flys with honey than vinegar and wait 5 minutes for them to be alone and you will probably get what your asking for faster, my experience was great and I'm going to continue on to PHP. Also while I was there I went to 100 percent of groups and got to go horseback riding, go to the zoo and eat our, the food is wonderful and a wide variety, they don't hide the food or give times you can eat, food is readily available you will not go hungry, there is Alot of freedom here!

Response from the owner · 3 weeks ago

Thank you for sharing such a detailed and meaningful review. We’re especially glad to hear that you found a genuine sense of community at Discovery Point Retreat and felt respected, welcomed, and supported for exactly who you are. Addiction truly can affect people from every background, and treatment should be a place where everyone has the opportunity to focus on healing without judgment. We’ll be sure to share your recognition with Seth, Grace, Crystal, Katie, Donita, Kimberly, Micha, Andy, Shanitta, and the rest of the clinical and nursing teams. It’s also great to hear that you fully embraced the experience by attending groups, connecting with peers, and participating in activities like horseback riding and the zoo. Recovery often becomes more meaningful when you actively engage with the community and allow yourself to experience life differently without drugs or alcohol. Congratulations on taking the next step into PHP. Thank you for trusting Discovery Point Retreat with this part of your journey, and we wish you continued growth, connection, and lasting sobriety as you move forward.
