<p><strong>ABOUT SEACLIFF RECOVERY CENTER</strong></p> <p>Located in Southern California's Huntington Beach, Seacliff Recovery Center offers <strong>a continuum of holistic treatment</strong> for individuals struggling with chemical dependency. While programming addresses all levels of addiction, Seacliff <strong>specializes in chronic relapse prevention</strong>. The main service is an intensive outpatient or <strong>partial hospitalization program (PHP) with nearby supportive housing</strong>, and clients can continue in treatment through an outpatient program and transitional sober housing. <strong>Hormone therapy is provided for treating co-occurring mental health conditions.</strong> Medical detox is not available on-site.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Seacliff Recovery Center integrates highly structured therapeutic programming with recreational activities designed to help clients relax. To be admitted, clients are <strong>required to sign a commitment to follow a set of rules</strong>, and the facility's website indicates that the program is not a good fit for individuals who have a history of severe mental illness. However, Seacliff highlights a natural hormone-based approach to treating depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. </p> <p>A 90-day extended care track involves full-time treatment while participating in Seacliff housing, followed by less intensive outpatient treatment and transitional programming supporting the client's reintegration into education, work, and life in recovery beyond rehab.</p> <p>During treatment, clients participate in <strong>12-step practices, which are required</strong>, individual and group counseling, education, and meditation. The latter is presented as a key component of rehab and as facilitated by the ocean environment, <strong>yoga, self-reflection, and music and art therapy</strong>. Family workshops are offered some weekends.</p> <p>Seacliff's aftercare program includes guidance for clients in pursuing employment or college.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the facility's website, all counseling staff members licensed and are <strong>either in recovery or are close to someone who is</strong>. The treatment team also includes a master's level therapist. a medical hormone therapist, and a registered dietitian. </p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Physical activity is a highlight of Seacliff Recovery Center's accommodations. The 16-bed housing facility for PHP clients is located <strong>two blocks from the beach</strong>, with access to walking and bike paths and surfing lessons. A 90-day <strong>gym membership is also provided</strong>. Residents can also expect to attend sober activities in the community, such as concerts.</p> <p>Website photographs feature plush furniture and a modern kitchen.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The most common comment in former clients' reviews of this facility was that <strong>the program was life-saving</strong>. However, the one alum surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing offered much more negative perspectives and would not recommend the program.</p> <p>In written comments, the dissatisfied alum referenced one specific staff member negatively and another positively. They awarded just one out of five stars for most aspects of the program, including accommodations and staff training. Only metrics measuring options in, frequency of, and consistency of counseling fared better, with three stars apiece.</p> <p>Five Google reviews had an average rating of 3.2 stars out of five. None specifically cited weaknesses, and two emphasized the treatment's effectiveness particularly in <strong>teaching clients how to live life without drug use</strong>. Two one-star ratings did not include written comments<small class="footnote"><a href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small></p> <p>Four reviewers on Yelp awarded Seacliff perfect five-star ratings. In a representative review, Vanessa wrote: "[It] helped to bring me a genuine desire to be sober and stay sober. I have finally become the woman I was meant to be." Another alum, Katie, highlighted the location and relative freedom of the program, "not in a hospital setting." She reported success after three previous attempts a rehab.<small class="footnote"><a href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The facility's website notes that most commercial insurance plans are accepted.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/iNTpRM">https://goo.gl/iNTpRM</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/seacliff-recovery-center-huntington-beach">https://www.yelp.com/biz/seacliff-recovery-center-huntington-beach</a></small></p>
