The only reason I give it two stars is for the sole reason of having an amazing therapist and caseworker. And for blessing me with the opportunity to continue my recovery at a better facility. By discharging me for verbally communicating my feelings and emotions with a fellow peer who practically assaulted me.

Well I must say after 13 years of going back and forth from jail to rehab to sober living all over the country this place called boardwalk recovery has been my saving grace... I came on a tour while in impatient rehab and said this is where I wanna go.. 8 months later I'm still here. In san Diego almost through the program ...the sober houses are the nicest houses I've lived in over the years. But what really makes the environment so much better is the staff ...they really care and Work with you so the addict or alcohol can become a better person .. I'm really not sure where my. Life would be I

Boardwalk recovery is an outstanding program that does so much more than treat addiction. When I arrived at Boardwalk I was greeted with smiles and genuine caring hands. I was made to feel comfortable during my entire stay. The staff at the center and the sober living homes are professional but also have great personalities. This program has given me hope and a new outlook on what sobriety can look and feel like. With the support and guidance of staff, I was able to obtain a full time position with a union in San Diego. They respected my work schedule and helped show me it’s possible to work

This place has completely changed my life. I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for the staff and the treatment I have received from them. I came into Boardwalk after losing everything and I was completely broken. Now I’m coming up on a year of sobriety, I’m healthy, employed, I have an amazing fellowship with my boardwalk peers, and I couldn’t be happier with my life today. The groups they host are very helpful. They give you the tools, coping skills, insight on the 12 step program, and the therapy you need to be successful in your sobriety journey. They make treatment a very

I arrived at Boardwalk being my third treatment center In less than a year. I couldn’t stay sober to save my life and Boardwalk gave me the tools to attain the sobriety I needed. Their clinical team is amazing, Dr. Josh is by far one of the best in the business. The owner Tommy really cares about those in the program and it shows. I’ve been to previous treatment centers and owners have been rude and disconnected. Tommy took the time to talk with me and when I decided to find different housing he helped me transition. Highly recommend this center, they helped lay the foundation of my sobriety

I came to Boardwalk Recovery in a lot of pin and anguish. I suffered from a Xanax addiction as well as alcoholism and multiple eating disorders. I met my sponsor through the center and, with the aid of the counseling I received there as well as the book study and trauma processing groups, I can honestly say I am happier and healthier than I’ve ever been. Thanks to Tommy Hathorne and the staff of boardwalk, I’ve been able to maintain my sobriety while living in their sober living houses. Thank you, Boardwalk Recovery

Where do I start, this place was amazing. If you are looking for a great aftercare place I highly recommend this place no matter where you are from. The staff is highly competent and extremely smart. The staff here really does care about you and doesn’t look at you like a cash cow. Dr.Karst among the other therapists are amazing. Personally, I had Dr.Karst and she really dove head first into the issues that were prominent motivators to my drug and alcohol abuse. All the house managers here are awesome and all the houses are in really good locations. Everything that this program offers is beyond

My experience here was one that I will never forget. The complete devotion by the entire staff to the recovery of their clients is outstanding! The staff at Boardwalk helped me lay the foundation to create an amazing life that I did not believe possible for myself. I pictured life sober to be dull, and boring, but I can honestly say that my time at this program was one of the most enjoyable times of my entire life. To everyone at Boardwalk, thank you so much! My life would not be what it is today had it not been for all of you.
