Everyone working there has advanced degrees and are well educated and well trained. They really emphasize the value of (self-) knowledge and utilizing those things which are helpful and productive. I didn’t feel lost in the shuffle or have my individuality trivialized as has been the case in other addiction programs which were based on 12 step theology. Another good quality is the professionalism of those who work there, whereas in other treatment centers which were solely 12 step based the minimal qualifications needed to be employed included having an addiction of one’s own and having served

I did not receive treatment at True Life Center but I feel compelled to leave them a review after just a phone call. Their admissions rep. spent 35 minutes on the phone with me, listening to my daughter’s struggles with bipolar disorder, offering advice, and then provided me with three referrals to treatment centers that would work with my insurance. She knew probably ten minutes into the conversation that I couldn’t afford True Life but she still heard me out and pointed me in the right direction. That level of customer service is extremely rare these days.

I have to take away a star because the parking here is awful! There are too many offices in the building and not enough parking for all the patients so I am usually late to my appointments while I circle the lot. I can’t speak for anyone else here, but I see Baylea for therapy, and she is the best! I’ve been through a lot of therapists after experiencing severe trauma a few years back, and none of them really clicked for me until Baylea. The office is really nice too. It’s in a building with dentists and doctors, so when you go for an appointment you don’t have that awkward feeling like

Where to begin? True Life Center gave me my life back. I was at the end of my rope, ready to be done with it all before my parents talked me into trying one more place. Right from the start it just felt different here. I felt normal, and not like a crazy person. Everyone I talked to really looked at me and really listened. Looking back now I can honestly say I would not recognize that very desperate, scared guy. The team here – and I love every single one of them I’ve worked with – helped me uncover and deal with some very serious trauma that I figured would haunt me forever. I feel…happy

Not really a review guy but….this place saved my life, so here it goes: the people here actually care. The holistic stuff I was not so sure about, but I’ll admit that it does help. My therapist, Christopher is super chill and Dr. Roybal is some kind of all knowing magic woman. 45 days sober and counting.

True Life Center is so awesome because they take such a holistic approach in ensuring recovery for their patients. I'm over the prison like halfway house recovery places that I've had to go to in the past, but True Life isn't that. You meet with professionals who pave the road for recovery and show you how to find that road. It's just the best. Thank you True Life.
