Awesome 👍👍👍
The Fellowship is hands down the best rehab. Almost everyone that I know who has been there agrees. They not only focus on the addiction but what the addiction has done to you and how to get you back. They helped me get… my license back, get my teeth fixed, my social security card, helped resolve my legal issues and got me to a mental health professional as well. They have a good influence with the courts which helped keep me from doing 2 additional years in jail. Robert was my counselor and I couldn't have asked for a better one. If you are trying to figure out where to go or send your loved one, just ask anyone who has been there. I'd bet that 99% of people who go there would recommend.
Hi this place has a rerence given to me at a vivitrol clinic .Thanks For the reference to what I believe Is the called the best in these parts.
They helped me a lot, seriously, I don't tell anyone else this
The intake coordinators and the withdrawal management team were above and beyond helpful to me and assisting me to get clean and sober. Particularly Alex Smith coordinating my Care and the whole team of guys that he has… working with him, Chris and Danny and Chadwick as well as Steve Where nothing but professional and compassionate in helping me get on my feet again. This facility is clean. The food is good and exceeded my expectations in a very difficult and hard process for me and my family and made my 2 week stay of what usually is a rough and arduous process peaceful and Helped assist me getting my health and a sobriety date.. Thank you fellas. I appreciate you more than words can express.
Vito sucked as a counselor. Matter of dact, in this whole place
Never thought it was possible until I went through the fellowship center. Thank you to everyone at the TFC. Shoutout all TFC staff and alumni. 🫡
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Fellowship Center and all of the staff are incredible! The BEST! I've been to several rehabs and programs, and The Fellowship Center in Escondido is the best in every way!
The fellowship is a great program for those who would like to change their lives! In my exprience as a graduate I have to say this program helped me so much to find myself. First of all Staff is amazing very great… understanding people. You will never be overwhelmed at all trust me! This program is so relaxed compared to other programs I have nothing but positive things to say about the Fellowship it almost is to good to be true! Just keep your eyes on the prize and focus on your recovery and trust me Your life will be better. Thank you Fellowship for changing my life and helping me find myself thanks to you guys I was able to keep my family and my overall happiness…
I've been trying to enroll in this program but they always transfer my call to the intake administrator line and I always leave a message but never receive a call back
12 years clean and sober since I left the fellowship center. I've managed to deal with my personal problems without drugs of alcohol. Something I learned in the 9 months I resided their.
I love this place. They helped save my life and get my family back.
I've been here for some meetings and to take some people to and from meetings. Really solid place with great people, they help many get back on the right track with rooms to stay, meetings, job help ect. I've seen a lot… of guys hold long term sobriety when they're all in for changing their life. I've also seen people who had the opportunity to go here and chose "Their Way" instead and are still living on the street years later. You get what you put into it. Sobriety took me a while to start feeling good but every second is worth it. The change is permanent and no matter what, your life will be better than it was before, IF you can be honest with yourself and do the step work with a sponsor. I got a year of complete sobriety when I got honest and haven't had a drink now for almost 5 years. My life is incredible now. This works if you're willing to do the work to change. Don't give up, do something about it! Time goes fast. I'm forever grateful for you guys even though I never stayed there as a resident, and for A.A in general. It all started with alcohol no matter how gnarly it got for me, to all you "special people" good luck!
THIS PLACE SAVED MY LIFE.... Give it a chance, you'll never regret it... Your family will be happy again...
Words can't explain! ✌💗&😎
This place is the real deal. I'm letting you know right now, hands down best place to take your loved one to for help getting out of addiction, homelessness, and or just for help learning about themselves. Obviously… anyone that doesnt wants help, will never receive help as it goes in one ear out the other. This place changes lives by love. The staff are remarkably caring and won't force anything on you, but are there for you no matter what. Easily a 5 star rating, and would give more if I could.
One of the best rehabs in San Diego. The first rehab you want to go to and the last you want to leave. It's a great program. Food is great... The staff is great... And in a beautiful part of San Diego.
Never have I seen a place that shows how much they really care and and genuinely LOVE you, despite your sexual identity/orientation, religion, ethnicity, incarceration history, substance of choice, or anything like… that. They take you AS YOU ARE. They really do want the best for you, and for those of us damaged, tortured souls, THAT is the difference between recovery over addiction, freedom over imprisonment, and life over death. The yoga class is off the shelf, too! All you have to do is do the work, have the desire to be your best self, and let them GET YOU BACK ON YOUR FEET! I've been here for a month and the TRANSFORMATION is FABULOUS!!!!! NAMASTE
53 years of excellence means success to me!
