<p><strong>ABOUT CASA NUEVO VIDA - BEACH HOUSE SOBER LIVING FOR MEN</strong></p> <p>Located next to the Ballona ecological reserve and on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, the Beach House Sober Living for Men offers, as its name suggests, a <strong>sober living community for men.</strong> It is one of California's <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">695 (48.6 percent)</a> facilities with gender-specific programming. In addition, the facility is one of four sober living facilities operated in the area by Casa Nuevo Vida.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>To treat its clients, the Beach House combines recovery-oriented programming with therapeutic recreation. Residents <strong>must participate in 12-step meetings.</strong> Further in-house meetings, held weekly, focus on topics such as family relationships, relapse prevention, and life in sobriety. The other pivotal part of the treatment is <strong>leisure activities.</strong> </p> <p>Therapeutic recreation includes kickboxing sessions on the roof every Saturday, and the center's staff also organizes <strong>fun days</strong> that include barbecues, sports events, parties, bowling trips, and monthly bonfires. Residents may also <strong>join the local gym</strong>, and book massages and personal trainers on request.</p> <p>When they are not participating in scheduled activities, residents must complete <strong>daily chores</strong> and are regularly tested for drugs and alcohol. The facility has a zero-tolerance approach to any substance use during a stay with Casa Nuevo Vida.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff; however, the single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center five out of five stars for its staff's level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>This facility is located on the border of an ecological reserve, and less than a mile from a sandy beach — for which the home provides surfboards, beach cruisers, and boogie boards, free of charge. Inside, the center is a <strong>family-style home</strong> with a communal area, a pool table, a meditation garden, <strong>a sun deck with exercise equipment</strong>, and a home movie theater. Clients share spacious bedrooms. Lunch and dinner are cooked by a chef, who can accommodate a variety of dietary requirements. A curfew is enforced.</p> <p>The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date was unimpressed with the center's food, giving it just one out of five stars. This loved one also gave the center three stars for its exercise/leisure offerings and four stars for its accommodations and the facility's cleanliness.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews directly from alumni of this facility, however, <strong>secondary sites yielded mostly positive feedback,</strong> with average ratings of 4.6 stars based on nine reviews on Google,<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> 4.5 stars based on nine recommended reviews on Yelp,<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> and five stars based on five reviews on Facebook, where the center can manage its own page.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> However, it should be noted that some reviews addressed Casa Nuevo Vida, as a whole, versus the Beach House Sober Living for Men location specifically. </p> <p>On "not recommended" Yelp reviews, alumni offered <strong>a string of negative reviews</strong>, repeatedly describing the center's management as more concerned with money than helping people, also citing <strong>poor conditions at the facility and inappropriate dismissals.</strong> "Worst experience I've ever had.
