Let me start by saying, I love this place so much <3 I truly had such a lovely experience here overall. Shoutout to Kate and David and Allee for being my rocks throughout my time at SCC. Not only did I detox here but I created a family and network of people who have my back to this day and for that I’m eternally grateful. Ray HuskissonApril 26, 2025 Reviewing a year after my stay at South Coast counseling. If you are considering in house detox, I would highly suggest this place. Brett is an amazing case manager, very knowledgeable and informative on addiction habits. I can't speak highly of him enough, he truly cares to have a personal relationship with his case members. Allison, the RN that was working here is amazing, a well. She's the sweetest, funniest and just all-around a good person. Recovery is a hard process and I'm happy to say SCC helped me be successful in my recovery. They provide fun activities, outings, great food, etc. I was really nervous and skeptical before coming here, but I'm so glad I got the opportunity to because it was one of the better life-experiences I've had. I heard from every other person at SCC that this was the best detox they had been to. Cap was the personal trainer during my time here and he was so much fun to work with, very encouraging on healthy habits and is so positive. Everyone I got to work with here was amazing and I'm so thankful for SSC and the great experience I had here. Melissa GladstoneApril 13, 2025 Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
