Highly recommend if you are serious about recovery.Posted on Clayton EspinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was a client at MHC San Diego and cannot recommend their program enough. The staff, therapists, and psychiatric nurse practitioner saved my life truly. I was a mess and resistant to treatment long term. After having a week in the program I knew I was where I needed to be. The thoroughness and thoughtfulness that goes into each day is above board and excelled me into a better life. I am forever grateful and honored to have been apart of such a program. If you are in a space reluctant to get help, I encourage anyone and everyone to jump in and embrace the program to the fullest. You never know the life changing improvements and health that can come from it. I know for me it improved my life drastically and put me on a better path for the future. Thank you again MHC.Posted on Joe BondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I stayed for 52 days, out of all the programs I’ve been to this is the first that I’ve grown an attachment towards and did not want to leave. The support that is given here is exceptional of a residential facility and helped me tremendously to get back on my feet and restore to a state of health.Posted on Carol RichardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
