"Program shows you how to own your actions, and then to change those behaviors so remain clean and sober," M.J.S. noted.</p> <p>Naomi, the mixed reviewer, told Rehabs.com that while the food was good and the accommodations were comfortable, the rehab could stand to improve its holistic offerings, its connectivity and visitor policies, its counseling options, and its treatment of co-occurring disorders. The anonymous negative reviewer simply noted that treatment was ineffective and that communication and support were the facilities two main weaknesses.</p> <p>The Bill Dawson Residential Recovery Program earned <strong>two five-star ratings</strong> on Google<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small>, along with a comment from Robert thanking the rehab for its kindness and support.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The one loved one polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing, B.O., gave the program four or five out of five stars for its family participation, its connectivity and visitor policies, its counseling options, its cleanliness, and its staff's level of training and experience. “Everything was good,” they informed Rehabs.com. </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to CRASH’s website, the program is <strong>funded in part by the county</strong>. <a href="https://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/california/cities/san-diego/crash-based-at-726-f-street-2nd-floor" target="_blank">CiteHealth</a> reports that the facility offers <strong>sliding scale fees</strong> and some financial assistance.
