Present Moments Recovery – Carlsbad

Mark and Amy are amazing at what they do. They care deeply about their clients and have spent a lot of time creating a team and network to best serve those who work with them.

I had a great experience here. The staff is wonderful and the one on one care allowed me to work through some things that I needed to address. Would recommend anyone give Present Moments a chance to change their lives.

For reasons I hope to one day understand, I have more experience with rehab facilities than most, certainly more than I care to think about. I drank alcoholically for years and had plenty of experience getting DUI’s.… What I didn’t have was the self-honesty to accept I had a problem. After 12 years of trying with little success, the team at Present Moments moments helped me learn how to live an honest, sober life. It honestly didn’t happen on the first try for me, I’ve been met with a warm welcome back to PM more than once. Sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly - that’s what the Big Book of AA says. Today, with five years of sobriety, my life is beyond anything I ever dreamed could be mine. I took my 29 year old daughter to detox for heroine addiction for the first time at 15! She has been to 100’s of treatment facilities in the last 14 years, but can’t stay clean. Sometimes quickly, sometime slowly. My experience with her in the 3 years before she turned 18 was that maybe 1 in 10 treatment facilities can be trusted or has any integrity. Present Moments is the 1 in 10 without any doubt. Ask my 25 year old son what he thinks of PM, he’ll say they saved his life too. It’s a long story, but my son ended a 7 year daily 1/5th of vodka habit earlier this year, checked into PM with a 4.1 BAC I might add for color, spent 30 days there and just celebrated 6 months as a sober man. He says he was existing before, PM and Alcoholics Anonymous showed him how to live. In an industry full of ‘money first, care second’ and ‘one size fits all’ treatment centers, Mark and Amy put care first and somehow find a way to figure the rest out. I learned how to live a sober life in 6 months at the PM sober living house. I learned how to get honest and accept that I’m an alcoholic in 5 weeks at PM recovery. Amy even created a new supervisory program for me to get ongoing care and comply with a court order while living at home for 5 months. That’s what I mean by ‘figure the rest out.’ My sober son who now works at a local treatment facility, is a miracle that started at PM. My entire amazing life started with lessons I learned and help I received from the people at Present Moments Recovery. PM is a rare example of clinical excellence, unquestionable integrity, individualized care, and creative problem solving. 6 stars out of 5 for Present Moments Recovery

This is a very thorough program covering counseling, IOPs, and housing needs. Not only do they understand the patient, they are also very well connected in the recovery ecosystem and guide you to further steps as… needed. They work with your needs, and also believe in second chances (can't be grateful enough for that!). Highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to find support for a loved one.

I am very pleased with this program and how it provided the necessary treatment for my family member to become sober. It all started one weekend when I knew that my family member was sick and needed help. I didn't know… where to start, so I started calling around. I had reached a couple of facilities, only to find out that they were an agent not working for that direct facility. This was super frustrating because I needed to talk to someone right away. It wasn't until I contacted Present Moments around 8 pm on a Friday night and the owner Mark picked up his cell phone. After just a few minutes, I knew this was the right place for my family member. That call alone showed me that the owner was involved and actually cared. If he did, then I figure the rest of the program would be that way too. It certainly did, and I'm glad to report that my family member has been sober ever since and is still working the AA program. I cannot say enough good things about Present Moments. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM.

It is my pleasure to write this review for Presents Moments Recovery. I have a family member who has struggled with Addition for years, over the those years we have been through our share of Rehab's, Mark and his team… are not like any we have experienced before, they have shown all of us love and support ,education ,and. faith that we can achieve our goal of Sobriety. Mark and his Team are there Day and Night never to busy when we need them, always a beacon of Hope!! Blessing to Present Moments Recovery. Debbie

My father-in-law was in need of treatment and came out from Tennessee to get help. Me and my wife Found the precious moments Recovery program and thought that it would be beneficial for gis recovery process. Yet we… Experienced problems every step along the way. The owner Mark is conniving and money hungry. He gives no attention to any matters that don’t concern his personal bank accounts. He was neglectful to the problems of the house concerning some very aggravated residents, a lack of supervision over the house and the much needed maintenance problems in the facility. I would highly encourage anyone to stay far away from Mark and precious moments recovery.

horrible place they are all about money and will help someone more if they have more money than another person has to offer. they do not truly care about people who need help getting clean

I had an eye opening here. NAD treatment is the real deal. Mark is a straight up guy, and so are all his affiliates. I really didn't know what to make of an NAD detox, but please hear me. If you are truly ready this is… the easier, softer way. The nursing staff is top notch. They are all over you making the experience tolerable. Dr Milgram is top notch as well. Today, as a result of starting here, I have options that I never thought I would have again. Thanks to all of you who participated in my experience with you!

Do not waste your time and money! Please seek elsewhere. First of all the owners NEVER came to check up on me during my sessions. I was screwed out of 3k and took them several weeks to follow up on how I'm doing. I WISH… SOMEONE POSTED A REVIEW LIKE THIS BEFORE I SIGNED UP.
