12 South Recovery

Wonderful facility and I'm still sober today. Thank you 12 South for believing in me!

Our daughter has been to countless treatment centers so I would like to think my wife and I have seen it all. The day our daughter arrived, we received a phone call from her case manager introducing themselves as the point of contact going forward. From there we knew our daughter was right where she needed to be. We gained an overwhelming sense of peace. There was no smoke and mirrors from the admissions representative, and everything they assured would happen did. We are now currently in family therapy and log on to a family help group run by their clinical team every week for extra support. We just got back from a visit and for the first time in years, the daughter we always knew and loved is back! We know the fight against Addiction with our daughter doesn’t end here but she has absolutely built a strong foundation to maintain long term sobriety. I can’t thank 12 South enough. From their clinical team, operations staff, and admissions personal, thank you so much!

Wish there had been more one on one therapy but overall a wonderful exprience over a year sober now thank you 12 south

I rolled into 12 South in early August of 2020. I was nervous and scared of a new environment because i was in a fragile and critical state of mind where I was unable to cope, make friends, hold boundaries or let alone try new things that pushed me out of my comfort zone. After completing many weeks of the PHP level of care at another place, I was eager and ready to push my treatment experience as far as I could.

I’ll never forget my first day at 12 South. It was BBQ day, on a Sunday. The second I walked into their courtyard I was greeted by other clients at the place, the staff, and offered a chair to sit, talk, and just be a part of it. The other clients made me a plate of food and even carried all of my bags for me. I struggled so hard to hold back the tears from the warm environment that I had walked into. It felt like a family, which was important for me so I can build the social skills that I needed, but was t willing to try. I didn’t immediately realize that from that day onwards, 12 South would be such a powerful and pivotal point of my personal recovery and for my life.

The staff. I’ve never seen staff at a treatment center work as hard as they do to make sure that all of the clients are well taken care of. Every time you’re struggling with something, they always pull you aside and look for all the ways they can help, make light of your situation, and help you resolve your issues. Which was very important for me because I was facing heavy criminal charges, along with the emotional trauma from the wreckage of my past and bridges I’ve burned. As cliche as it sounds, I came out the other side with a complete new life than I had. Failure was never an option for anyone who works at 12 South.

Their housing is near the highest-end mall in Southern California. The street is very quiet and peaceful, with nice neighbors. There’s plenty of places nearby to keep yourself busy at a short walking distance. Their apartment units are modern, with stainless appliances, large flat screens, and grey flooring. Gated courtyard, with key codes for all doors and security cameras 24 hours. Security is excellent and the staff that work at their housing are professional and amazing.

Why would I recommend 12 South? Because if you’re reading this you are probably living a poor quality of life and are looking for answers and solutions.... I get it. Being sober is not easy, but it’s worth it. You’re probably wanting those answers on how your life can change for the better, but be careful, you might get exactly what you ask for. If you give it everything you got, you can live the life of your dreams, thanks to 12 South Recovery.

Before coming here for help, my life was truly run by my addiction and underlying mental health diagnosis. I now have over a year sober thanks to the help of 12 south. From the admissions process, individualized therapy and case management, I cannot thank 12 South enough for how caring and knowledgeable their entire staff is. Their alumni program is amazing as well. I am originally from Florida and have been able to build a life for myself here in California. Thank you 12 South!
