This place is not the treatment place you want to go through. It's nothing but about money to these people. I was just kicked out for a argument in the rain and cold last night and the director didn't care about me or… my sobriety and the owner didn't care either. They only care about the money not you as a person or what you're struggling with or your addiction please if you're seeking help find another recovery program. This is not the one find one that is not money hungry. Good luck
For any individuals looking at this company and the facility they utilize for inpatient treatment in California if you are a spouse or partner of a patient going to this location you need to be aware. The housing is… coed. There is not separate housing for men and women alcoholics, make poor decisions, and clearly “relations” occur, and this is not prevented. My life besides, the alcoholism has been completely turned, upside down and uprooted, and everything we knew is no longer due to events that occurred in this location and following. I cannot iterate enough the amount of pain this entity has caused.
They took me in for benzodiazepines and removed it from me after 5 days something they should never done I taught they knew what they were doing after I’m still a mess I lost my family my kids my job and house I live in… my car and called them they don’t care I was just a number to them
Jaquelyne doesn't know what she's doing. Worst service ever
A Better Life Recovery is an amazing program! Monica Montoya and her team truly care about patients in their care. They will go to end of the earth to help ensure their patients get the help needed to live beautiful,… happy and healthy lives. I work closely with Monica and she is such a bright light and will do anything to help get patients on the road to recovery. It’s a pleasure working with her and the team!
Provides great treatment!

They don't provide what they tell you they will do to get you to come to the program
Incredible experience, received the tools i needed to grow as a person. I went from being homeless, to being able to hold a great job and managing life without stress. Life is incredible today, and i have material… things back in my life, but what really matters is that i have genuine peace of mind. I wake up and I am happy. I cannot thank this program enough.
Due to the multi-million dollar rehab marketing industry, finding the right Rehab to help you or a loved one is often confusing, stressful, frustrating, and many times regretful after the fact. Every website and contact… person all claim to be unique, qualified, and proud of their success rate with no concrete evidence to substantiate their claim. When it comes to treating addiction and mental health, it is crucial you make a well-informed decision. With advertising distractions, call centers, and smooth-talking admissions staff assuring you that you are making the right choice, a third-party review like this may reduce your confusion. As a professional Behavioral Health Treatment Consultant, I have consulted for a host of Rehabs from San Luis Obispo to San Diego, including many in Orange County. With over 16 years of experience in the behavioral healthcare field, I consider myself qualified to endorse a treatment center for their integrity, credentials, qualifications, effectiveness, and efficiency. With that said, I feel obligated to share my opinion, based on proven program evaluation techniques, to the community, and individuals desperately searching for professional behavioral healthcare to restore their lives. According to my rating scale, based on Joint Commission and CARF accreditation and decades of experience, there are only a handful of treatment centers in Orange County that earn my endorsement. A Better Life Recovery (ABLR) is at the top of my list. I have worked with 20+ organizations and have consulted for ABLR since May 2017 assisting with State Licensing/Certification, Electronic Health Records, Joint Commission Accreditation, and many other performance improvement projects. Most evident about this team of experts is the pride and dedication of the leadership who cultivate a culture of business and clinical ethics, professionalism, and an ongoing effort to implement innovated evidence-based treatment interventions to improve client care and outcomes of treatment. The expertise and experience the founders bring to the table, include advanced business management, legal counsel, and credentialed addiction and mental health management. The owners have applied their expertise to blend an optimum balance of business and clinical operations, essential in owning and operating a thriving treatment center in today's treatment industry. Stable leadership leads to proper management and a committed team of clinicians and support staff that authentically care about their clients and families' well-being and long-term sobriety. A new addition to an already 5-star program is their recent merger with A Mission for Michael, LLC, another endorsed Joint Commission-accredited provider reputable for their outstanding qualifications and success in treating higher acuity co-occurring disorders. Networked with Realign Detox, A Better Life Recovery offers a full continuum of care creating a footprint in south Orange County that confirms, without doubt, integrity, quality, high standards, and qualified professionals ultimately prevail. I have spent hundreds of hours working with the organization and experienced support and transparency. I observed a well-organized program that offers detoxification, residential care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, outpatient, and supportive transitional living. After surveying staff and clients, following the efforts of the clinical team, and commitment of administrative and residential support staff, I would not hesitate to recommend A Better Life Recovery to a loved one or close friend for help and trust I've made a good decision. I witnessed firsthand the commitment and dedication of their leadership and staff to stay in the fight, push forward to improve quality of care, safety of staff and clients, and accept nothing less. This company easily earns a five-star rating, and I highly recommend contacting their admissions team. Joe and Corey are honest, knowledgeable about insurance and benefits coverage, and will ensure you or your loved one receive the care you need and deserve.
A factory of change that if you follow their lead your life will get better.
A Better Life Recovery is an amazing drug and alcohol recovery program. Not only do they help people recover from their addiction but they go above and beyond to make sure they receive the tools necessary for success in… recovery! The staff and owners truly care about helping individuals. They are located in beautiful Southern California and have amazing facilities. Thanks A Better Life Recovery for being well above the standards for mental health and substance abuse treatment!
