Akua Mind & Body

If you truly want it, you can get sober at any treatment center. You can even get sober without a rehab facility altogether, at that. But, if you're like me, that is extremely difficult to do. Having been to a few treatment facilities, I've found that (generally) they are the same in most aspects. The structure, the group sessions, the outside meetings, etc. can become monotonous. In my opinion, the treatment center's job is only to plant a seed that hopefully grows into the WILLINGNESS to do what is necessary for people like me to stay sober long term. And the one thing that has the biggest influence on this, more than the standard group sessions and activities, is the people there. The people here are exceptional. From the Detox portion of treatment, to the techs in residential, the therapists, and the administration team - you get the sense that you are more than just a name on the list. I haven't felt this level of care and individual attention at other facilities I've been to. The technicians, who are the staff you spend the most time with, are very relatable, positive, and willing to help. They do not have the attitude of holier-than-thou I've encountered at previous facilities. They're more than willing to talk to you on an even playing field, as almost all of them have had similar experiences. Through a combination of medication and therapy, I was able to get a handle on the chronic anxiety and panic disorder that has plagued me for the last decade. I feel that this was the primary reason for multiple relapses. The other treatment centers were never able to provoke me enough to find out what was really happening inside my mind and body. My life today is completely different than it was only a short time ago. I can look at myself in the mirror and be content with who I am, and it feels amazing. I have to give a special thank you to Christopher, one of the men's residential therapists. This man made a huge difference in my life, and I will be forever grateful.

The clinical team is exclent as well as staff and addmisions. The facility is nice. All around a great experience!!

I went through the akua detox and residential program and had a great experience. I had been through detox once before but this time was so different. Not only did they make sure that medically my detox was as comfortable as possible but even more than that, the techs at the detox took care of me with emotional support. they were able to relate to me being that most had gone through detoxes themselves. Their support kept me there when I wanted to leave. After completing detox I transferred to the residential program and began working closely with my therapist. We were able to undercover such deep rooted issues I never even knew I struggled with. I met amazing people and developed lasting relationships. Im so glad I made the decision to go with akua!

This place is amazing. I have been to a few treatment centers in the past but none compared with the experience I had with Akua. I struggled with addiction for 8 years, and in late 2016 I was yet again in need of help. Although, I was reluctant to check into yet another treatment facility. However, from the start this place made me completely comfortable. The staff (from detox all the way to the therapists) did an incredible job and really helped me throughout my entire time there. Id highly recommend this place to anyone who maybe looking for a great treatment center.

Akua definitely goes above & beyond to reach their patients. I being the older brother of an addict had several interactions with Dominica who is very knowledgeable in what she does, but most importantly they really care. They make sure you know that your success is their goal. A lot of people are just in it for money, not Akua. I would highly recommend anyone struggling with addiction or friends a family with struggling addicts to call Akua, even if it's not where you end up, you'll be thankful you called & learned as much as I did. Thanks Akua, & thank you Dominica!

Akua is an incredible place to go if you or a loved one is struggling with addiction. They have a beautiful facility located in Costa Mesa. Akua has a wrecking ball of amazing therapists and staff. My experience with them was a great one and for that I'm grateful. If you are looking for the best help you can get, Akua is the best place to heal your mind, body, and soul.

My time in treatment at Akua was totally rewarding. They have a highly effective program with the best staff and councelors in California. The groups are excellent and beneficial with a great atmosphere. They were always there for me during a very difficult time in my life. I feel so blessed for the help they provided to me. The after care is wonderful with alumni meetings and special events. They have been so supportive in my recovery and there are many of them I can call any time for advice and help when needed. You can't go wrong making a phone call to them. Good Luck

I'll begin by expressing that the staff I had interaction with went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and cared for. Being from Boston, that was a big concern of mine, not adjusting to the new surroundings.The care and attention I received has contributed to who I am becoming and I will forever be grateful for the people I've met along the way. Akua also helped a great deal after I had completed my treatment by assisting me in a solid after care plan, providing me with a number of resources and contacts to aid me in the next step of my recovery. Akua has been a catalyst to a number of opportunities which has helped me establish myself here in California.
