The Chapters Capistrano property collection offers luxury accommodations while providing the best possible care that is focused on health, treatment, and recovery. Our homes are the perfect setting for safe detox and healthy recovery that offer features and amenities unlike other rehabilitation centers.
There is no wrong way to get sober, and we believe that treatment should be tailored to each client. The recovery process is different for everyone, so an individualized addiction treatment plan should be created carefully. While drug and alcohol treatment centers are often based on the 12-Step philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous, you may choose your preferred treatment approach at Chapters.

I loved my experience at Chapters! The people, the environment, the therapy (Mahalia & Ligi)!!! A true healing experience for the mind, body & soul! I looked at so many other treatment centers in Southern Cal and I’m so glad I found chapters! I have a new Chapters family! My experience with the admissions representative (Kim) was amazing and the assistance from Ligi my case manager was outstanding! My intake process was smooth (thank you techs & medical) and I was so grateful to have had the self-care component (massage, Acupuncture, personal training, beach walks, yoga, meditation, etc)!

This place is nothing but a money maker! I saw Red Flags the day I arrived! Everyone was brand new, and not trained at all, as 4 employees had quit the day I arrived due to how Chapters was being run! Several employees applauded me for writing down everything that was going on, such as wrong medication given, no sense of urgency, an employee named Shawn walking in my room without knocking as I just got out of shower, the case worker, Laurie was not qualified at all, people going in my room without permission, all employees vaping constantly, all employees cussing with every conversation, and an

I came to Chapters broken and desperate for help. Being that this was my first time seeking treatment I did not know what to expect so I of course was apprehensive. However from the first moment I entered the beautiful beach side home I was treated with nothing but respect and dignity. The staff are excellent, well trained and caring ! I would like to point out two staff members Luis A. And Evelyn F. Who consistently went above and beyond to ensure each and every guest was taken care of. If you seeking treatment do not hesitate to make Chapters a part of your journey. The food is fantastic, there

I have been here for 3 weeks, there has been a musky smell in the room since arriving. The past few days I have started getting a sore throat and cough and allergies.I then noticed black mold on the outside of the AC vent. Brought to there attention and they resolved this by putting a new cover on. While the cover was off I inspected the duct work which is covered with black mold spores. I have pictures that I will also try to post. They had no concern for my symptoms, won’t even offer me another room and try to just cover up the problem. We are sick enough going into rehab and believe we should

If I could I would give them no stars! They take your money and that is the bottom line. Completely false advertising! I had a close relative there for 24 hours and they ended up in the ER because they were not equipped to care for them. Also, the location is not secure and they do not keep a watchful eye to see if the patient is in the house or out! There is not a doctor there 24/7!! And trying to get ahold of a worker there, gets you the answering machine. If you have a serious drug or alcohol addiction, please go to a hospital for treatment where there are real doctors and nurses there full

My experience at Chapters Capistrano was first rate and very personalized to my needs. The staff was unbelievably attentive and truly cared about the patients. From the person who got me admitted to the staff, therapists and nurses I was given excellent care. It has given me a new outlook I hadn't had prior to going. All the horror stories I had read about rehab could not have been farther from the truth at Chapters Capistrano. It is a small facility so every patient receives excellent interpersonal care emotionally, physically and mentally. I am grateful for the day I checked in.

I recently had to deal with my boyfriend going to rehab. I had call elite rehab and spoke with Rebecca who was so helpful and made the processes painless. She then got to place him in to a fabulous treatment center where we got to stay in touch but he got the help he needed which was most important. I highly recommmend this place.

I attended chapters twice and have been to many other facilities. It is by far the most professional and efficient treatment I ever received. the staff is beyond loving and friendly I built relationships that I will cherish the rest of my life. There program is very well ran and organized. They educate you on every side of addiction and give you every tool that you could need to succeed in the real world. The best part is if you are close by and complete there program successfully you can come back as alumni for groups at no cost. They are always arms wide open to see you come back and share your

My daughter's experience at Chapters early 2016 was excellent. She stayed 60 days and through all that time had nothing bad to say about them. Above all they have a caring staff that knows how to help an addicted person in the best possible way. Honestly, that was our experience, excellent staff including great counselors, day staff, cooks and Marvin who did intake was such a great help all the way. My daughter wished she could continue with the counselors after she left there. I feel we were blessed to find this place, it's a rare find. The accommodations are extremely nice, comfortable

After agreeing on a price for treatment to begin. Their sales guy Chad was texting and calling me nonstop after I had already committed to going to their rehab. He was disrespectful and insulting. When I arrived there, everyone painted on a smile for my family but when my family left, their whole game changed. The house is ran by all self-proclaimed ex-addicts (doubtful). While this was one of the most expensive treatments and NOT AFFORDABLE...they will try to convince you insurance covers them. I assure you mine did not and no right minded insurer would so be prepared to get hooked for every penny

I am always amazed how companies manipulate the true opinions on supposedly public reviews.
If you want to know the truth of the experience, you have to hear the negative.
I would read he reviews that "were not recommended" - of course, you will always get people whom want to bad mouth a company, but these stories were very specific and bring up many questionable conditions at this Rehab. Just like many other Luxury Rehabs.... lots of marketing, make sure you can pay.... or you get bused out quick!

When I started calling places the number one thing I wanted was a comfortable detox and my own room. When I called Chapters they didn't sell or push too hard. They listened and told me to call them when I was ready. Upon getting to chapters I really liked the ocean view and therapy sessions with Deborah, I really like her a lot. The staff I give a 9 out of 10. I was really bad off prior to arriving and was hopeless. The encouragement and the individualized care was what changed me. The staff were very encouraging and understanding. I ending up staying for 4 months and am sober today (which I never

I knew I had a problem when the paramedics rushed me to the ER , I had it bad and needed help with my addiction! After I got back home I started calling 800 numbers all over the country , but only one answered my very early AM call, it was Chad from Chapters who took my 1:30 call and was understanding of I was going through! They took my insurance , got me in fast, and welcomed me with open arms and smiles. The location and private rooms are a very nice touch , it's like a vacation at the beach even though you are in a structured rehab facility .The caring, loving staff are what make Chapters

I was an active opiod addict living dangerously on the East Coast. I had been to several other facilities in Fla and other states with no long-lasting success. These facilities lacked a sense of caring and most of the staff I interacted with seemed to be there only because it was their job. Also, many of the salespeople I talked to either embellished or exaggerated the elements of the program that were important to me in my time of need. So, after my last relapse, I decided to look for other alternatives. A detailed internet search brought my attention to Chapters Capistrano in Orange County, CA

When I was choosing a place to help me with my future I was focused on a place that would help me build my strength, my self-respect and my autonomy, without pulling punches.
I have been to 12-step only programs. They left me feeling angry, resentful and unfulfilled. Chapters have 12 step programs but they also had alternatives. The non 12 step programs at Chapters were a welcome respite for me. After alcohol dependency, discipline and abstinence may be necessary but permanent dependence of another kind is what 12 steps have always seemed to me. I am grateful that Chapters let me do it

In all honesty Chapters Capistrano saved my life. I walked in the door a broken person and with the help of the staff I live a life of sobriety. They showed me that getting sober isn't just about putting down the drink or substance.. but that its about a new blueprint for life. I've been through hell and back and I've been to other treatment centers with no success. Day by day my sobriety grows and I am living proof that the program at Chapters Capistrano works. I stay in constant contact with some of the staff and some of the people I was in treatment with. If you or a family member

I called many places prior to calling Chapters. I was at the end of my rope and finally I reached someone who understood. I was looking for a non 12 step facility that wouldn’t brand me as an alcohol or drug addict. I wanted a comfortable detox and a solution to the chronic pain I had (which lead to me abusing pain pills). I was happy to find that Chapters was able to deliver those things and some. The detox was comfortable, I had my own room, the doctor spend a few hours with me getting my history and discussing our plan, the nurses were great in making me feel alright. The therapy was great

From my experience, reviews of rehabilitation centers are sometimes jaded due to the sickness of the client. I read the horrible review posted and it is a perfect example of this. I was staying at Chapters when this "incident" occurred and it was the denial of the disease followed by retaliation in a bad review. Failing multiple, consecutive drug tests and then claiming that the staff is incompetent is where this disease can take you. I am an alcoholic that has struggled for several years in an attempt to stay sober. I have been to multiple in-patient rehab facilities with Chapters
