Wellness Retreat Recovery Center

"I had been losing my battle with recovery for almost fifteen years when Wellness Retreat was recommended to me. I came here severely addicted and further traumatized by what I put myself and my family through. I needed a place where I would be treated with dignity, individually recognized for what has been ailing me and personally encouraged. This what I found here, and with a genuine compassion I have never seen or felt as an addict. There is an exceptional quality here, from checkng-in through medical treatment, group processing, education, abundance of nutrition, therapy excercise, wellness and technical assistance. With a maximum of five other clients to go through the recovery process with, the Directors of the program and even the CEO rolled up their sleeves personally caring for my recovery process. For the first time in my life since I was introduced to substances I don't hate life without them. It has been almost five months since I left wellness Retreat and I still go back on Monday afternoons to join the dance classes that gave me so much hope and happiness when I was feeling so low and dark in the beginning. This is more than a Rehab, this is a Wellness Center. If you want a life worth living without drugs and alcohol, start here."

"WRRC was the start of my new, healthier, life. All the staff went above and beyond to help in anyway they can along my journey. They truely cared about me and my specific story, even well after I left their care. I didn't think I would be into yoga, acupuncture, meditation, art, puzzles, or even working out but each staff member helped me discover some new passion I had hidden within myself. Recovery is not a solo journey that can be walked alone, it's a community adventure and the WRRC's staff are great companions along the way. The process groups and therapy changed the way I looked and dealt with my past. They also taught me tools and techniques on how to be more mindfully present and how to handle future life hurdles. The program can be only 30 days long but it's a lifetime of knowledge and support. I'm forever grateful to myself for picking up the thousand pound phone, calling these people, and walking though their doors for first time of my new life."

"I have provided Art Therapy as a contractor with WRRC for about 4 months now and have absolutely enjoyed working alongside the staff, and guiding and watching the residents grow in their recovery. The facility itself is breathtaking and well maintained. Staff are warm, friendly, professional, compassionate, and go above and beyond to help residents fully focus on their recovery. I highly recommend WRRC for anyone struggling with addiction. It is a place of healing and connection. There is a genuine feeling of authenticity, wholeness, and hope in this place."

"Wellness retreat has the most welcoming staff. The staff at Wellness Retreat exceeded my expectations. They are friendly respectful compassionate and very professional. I’ve been sober almost 5 months now. Yoga, meditation, acupuncture one on one therapy sessions with a licensed therapist. I continue to practice all I learned at Wellness Retreat daily. I would recommend this facility to anyone struggling with addiction. I love this place."

"While researching treatment centers in the Bay Area what really interested me about WRRC was the client to staff ratio at the facility. With a maximum of 6 clients at any time I felt that I would be able to receive the most care and attention from the staff here rather than anywhere else. When I arrived at WRRC I quickly found this to be the case. From the moment I walked in the door I was greated with friendly smiles from the nursing staff and counselors. Everyone was so helpful getting me adjusted to the new living situation. Over my 7 week stay this behavior turned out to be the rule and not the exception. Earnest and compassionate are how I would best describe the employees at WRRC. The entire staff is so eager to help no matter the issue. WRRC even made my friends and family feel incredibly welcome during their visits. I cannot imagine having picked a better treament facility for me to attend! As a facility WRRC is top notch. The house is spacious, with large bedrooms, a beautiful kitchen and a deck with amazing views of San Jose. The house has all the amenities you could ask for: yoga room, washer/dryer, A/C, satellite TV, multiple lounge areas and fully stocked kitchen. Other perks are weekly visits from a yoga instuctor, personal trainer, massage therapist and an acupuncterist. Not to mention a membership at a nearby gym. The quality of the food was incredible. During my stay 3 different chefs prepared meals throughout the week. And they are able to cater to any dietary restrictions one may have without issue. The kitchen is also stocked with tons of drinks and snacks in case you get hungry inbetween meals. WRRC also manages to sqeeze in some pretty awesome outings during the week. While at Wellness Recovery I went indoor skydiving, ziplining in the Santa Cruz mountains, Go-Karting and indoor rock climbing. All these activities were extrememly fun and made for a great opportunity to bond with the staff and other clients. Overall I would recommend WRRC to anyone that is looking for help with their addiction. The service is first class, the facility looks and feels like a resort, and the quality of the staff is of the highest caliber. If you are looking for a treatment facility in Northern California I don't think you can find one that surpasses Wellness Recovery Retreat Center. Thank you to Amanda, Tiffany, Lexi and the rest of the WRRC team!!!!"
