Dana Point Rehab Campus - Dana Point, California

Alter Behavioral Health in Dana Point is a judgment-free zone that offers a very safe environment and attentive staff throughout your stay. I came for mental health help to further my self development since it had declined prior to the stay and understand the cause(s).

The chef, who I'd rate 12/10, creates outstanding dishes. However, the food schedule can become repetitive, so I hope they can introduce more variety from time to time. Thank you Jessica for the best plates I’ve ever experienced and most random songs we’d sing to.

The staff, especially Ebaukalam (Ebay) and Shad, are simply exceptional. Ebaukalam, from the initial intake to the last interaction, has been a beacon of light and a great conversationalist. I'm genuinely grateful for our deep conversations, his attentive listening, and his kind demeanor. Shad has been a father figure during my stay and has provided unique and insightful perspectives. Thank you both for making this experience that much more enjoyable and meaningful.

The therapist, whom I'd rate 12/10, is outstanding, and I cannot rave enough about him. He is authentic and incorporates various modalities into each session, demonstrating flexibility and a calm demeanor. He is the best therapist I’ve ever had, and I’m grateful he has been a part of my growth journey. Thank you.

Case manager Kahley is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and open to answering any questions that come to mind. I appreciate both Tom and Kahley for the drive-by sessions (quick meets, questions, epiphanies). Thank you.

The jacuzzi is a beautiful way to unwind after a tough day; the running water eases the mind and body, particularly after workout sessions. Other fun ways to unwind after group sessions include enjoying the views on the balcony, soaking up the sun, meditation, reading, writing, and conversing with any staff member. No one is ever too busy to be there for you.

Paid outings occur every other weekend and include diverse activities such as visiting the Getty, kayaking, whale watching, and beach days. The staff is open to any outing ideas you may have. Unpaid outings occur on alternate weekends between the paid outings.

Residential treatment is an absolute standout experience. The entire team is fully committed to being your support system. From the chef to the case manager, nurse practitioner, therapist, and care coordinators, everyone authentically cares for you.

Alter has completely transformed my life. The amount of care the staff has for their clients is 2nd to None. I would recommend this program to anyone struggling with addiction. Focusing on the underlying issues behind my addiction was key to my ongoing sobriety. It's unfortunate that Alter no longer offers substance abuse treatment. Nonetheless Alter is amazing when it comes to helping people with Mental health issues.
Thank you Alter especially Ryan, Lindsey, Shad, Brandon and all the rest of the medical staff for everything you have done to help change my life. For giving me life back.

I had a life changing stay at CRC. I remain sober thanks to the experience I had there. Jack, from recovery followed me through the entire process. The staff were amazing, caring about my needs. From the beginning it was so educational, yet fun. The house is beautiful, clean, and the nurses were the best. The good also was great! Highly recommend this this campus.j

Hands down the best rehab I have ever been to! (I’ve been to 6). This place had absolutely changed my life permanently. The staff here are phenomenal, some of the best people I’ve met in my 19 years of living. They do very thorough screening of the clients so everyone there has a very positive attitude and truly wants and recover from addiction. I’ve met some people here who I can truly call lifelong friends. The house is absolutely gorgeous, has a beautiful view, and comes with a spa like hot tub which is an absolute delight! The rooms are beautiful and have very comfortable beds. There is a chef who cooks very yummy food. They offer yoga, breathworks, art classes, and every weekend we go on an outside adventure like archery, bowling, fishing, hiking, beach trips, etc. We would also go to the mall, nail salon, and any stores needed. The groups we were taught were extremely insightful, helpful, and applicable to real life. I learned more in 30 days more than I have in my collective 12 months in other treatment centers. My therapist and case manager were the best I have ever had, executed their jobs perfectly. I am beyond blessed to have found this place and become part of this beautiful community. I would 100% recommended this place if you have been struggling and are ready to recover and get your life together. Truly life changing program, I couldn’t be more grateful.

From the therapists to the support staff, everyone at Dana Point Rehab Campus truly cares! They are altering lives and helping people walk through some the the toughest times in their lives. Incredible program! DPRC is an amazing program. The house is over looking the ocean and has the most calming feel when you walk through the doors. Best place for anyone looking to help someone with addiction.

I can't thank Dana Point Rehab enough for all they did for a family member we sent there for treatment. The staff was amazing and helped all of us understand her treatment program and what to expect, from beginning to after care help when she was finished with her program. This place is exceptional!!
