I am ever so grateful to the team at CASA Recovery for helping me finally achieve lasting sobriety. I had been battling with my drug and alcohol addiction for many years, I had tried countless times to quit on my own. I had tried a few other programs but nothing seemed to ever work. A friend of mine suggested that I give this program called CASA Recovery a try so I did! I spent a little over seven months in a very warm "One big family" type atmosphere with a lot of support from others that were going thru the same thing I was, it was great to know I wasn't alone. Here I am almost three years later still sober and living a "quality" life. There is not a day that goes by that I dont thank God for leading me to the doors of this wonderful program.

Our daughter, Kate, came to CASA Recovery unsure of herself and angry at the world. She left CASA Recovery with a newfound sense of calm, and with a firm foundation in recovery. They offer individualized attention, a nurturing environment, as well as the structure necessary for a new way of life. There are no guarantees in recovery from addiction. But CASA Recovery provided an excellent beginning for Kate that we believe will give her a good opportunity for the healthy, successful life she deserves.

Just a quick note to tell you that I am doing well. I am teaching the 3rd grade full time and selling jewelry. I can't tell you how productive I am now that I am sober. It's amazing! Being free from drugs and alcohol has absolutely changed my life. I appreciate all that you do at CASA Recovery and I actually miss all of you. Your treatment rehab center is what I needed. I'll come to meet and visit soon.

I guess I just wanted to say... that I will never forget that CASA Recovery has done for me what no other program could do, give me the will and tools to say clean and sober, and allow me to turn my life around to where it is today - thanks!
LeeAnn (Crack User, 6 Month Program)
I love everyone here – they are so attentive, caring and gentle. On one of the first days I was here, I heard it referred to it as the CASA Recovery family and that is so true. This is my fourth treatment center and it is by far the best place I’ve been in.
At other places I felt like 30 days was an eternity – it was all I could do to get through it. I’ve only been here for 34 days and I can’t imagine having left four days ago. Another thing I noticed with other places is that it was so obviously about the money. The houses were run down and the CEOs are walking around in Armani suits barely saying "Hello" to us. Here you see where the money is going – it’s to make things better for the clients. I can see that right away and I’ve only been here for a little over a month.
There’s something about this place that is unlike any other. I’ve heard it from so many people – nothing beats Orange County for recovery, especially this area. I’m staying for five more months because it’s such a great place, I’m learning so much and I love the holistic approach. Don and Dr. Grant – I have quotes from them that stick in my mind. "You’re grateful or your hateful" (Don) "Your sensitivity guides you" (Grant). They believe in what they’re saying and they help you believe it too. They really care.
The green program (transitional living) is amazing. I didn’t know about it until I got here. I was nervous about transitioning to green but I’m also really excited. I love it so much here I think I might end up moving here for good.
Susan (NTR Detox)
The NTR therapy was a sweet blessing for me. The staff said "She came alive right before my eyes on the fourth day!" There is a definite clarity of thought I didn’t have before.
After the treatment I felt fresh, alive and thriving. I hadn’t felt that for so long. One of the things I noticed right away is that I could get up at 6 a.m. without an alarm clock. I was never a morning person. Now I can get up and go and there’s no grogginess. NTR did so much for my mind. The clarity, organization of thoughts and overall holistic approach has been so beneficial to me. I speak in sequence and when I had to write an e-mail to my son’s teacher it was coherent and concise. I don’t think I could have done that without NTR.
