Dream Recovery International

As a former employee this is not the place you either want to send a loved one, yeah the houses are nice and the techs are good. The ones who run the operation have no clue what they're doing. The paychecks are never on time, direct deposited as told or receiving a percentage of your paycheck when worked full time hour. I have worked in treatment for years and have never in countered any situations that their facilities do. I wouldn't even give them 1 star. Glad I left when I did.

DRI is so structured. Keeps you engaged with your soberity. You have school. Attend meetings. Have field trips on weekends. Transported & high end Accommodations to keep you feeling comfortable with your stay. NOT TO MENTION HIGH END QUALIFIED STAFF!!. DRI team are more than qualified to meet your needs & help you grow into your sober New LIFE! I know my daughter & friends from dreams are in sober living continuing THERE journey. DRI made this possible with the knowledge & tools they learn. DRI helps you understand why your doing what your doing

Nice place if u want a little vacation. You can get sober in a non 12 step program, but if u want to stay sober u should probably work the steps. Jeff is a great therapist

I am writing this not out of resentment but to honestly help people who are considering finding help. This place is discusting. It's looks great from the outside and does provide good amenities. But as far as treatment they are absolutely unethical. Between telling clients that being gay is wrong and the managers being so sexual towards clients this place made me extremely uncomfortable. The owners and staff are not in recovery and they are in it for the money. They have been committing insurance fraud and were taking clients without their dcf license. The owner honestly thinks he is doing good but they are doing a complete disservice to a their clients. One poor girl passed away and the staff lacked any compassion and seemed annoyed when asked to have a memorial. They have gone through so many clinical directors. Once they see how corrupt this place is they quit. Please please please avoid this place as much as possible. Id rather send someone to passages Malibu than this place.

You can only get sober if you want it. This place has the best counselors I've ever seen. The staff all go out your way to help and we had a blast on the weekends (boat rides, fishing, horseback riding), and not to mention the mansions we all stay in! On the water with pools in the backyard. This place gave the tools to use, I chose to use them. I'm now 6 months clean and life couldn't better, as I'm no longer a slave to the pills!

Claim to be a non-12 step program but then unceremoniously discharge you when you will not attend 12 step meetings. New director is a tyrannical person, that does not liked to be questioned. No family involvement. Stay away, all that looks pretty from the outside is not the same on the inside.
