Beachside Teen Treatment Center

Montare is one of the best facilities for mental health and addiction recovery I’ve ever been to! From the program director, therapists, and medical staff to the techs, housekeeping, and chef - each staff member goes above and beyond to ensure each individual has a safe, therapeutic environment that sets them up for success. The groups and group facilitators were top notch with various topics ranging from dance and movement therapy to discussing a TED talk on the brain and everything in between. The actual facility is like an oasis or paradise, going on frequent outings to the beach or Malibu canyon to hike made the patients feel like human beings. I would personally recommend Montare to ANY family or friend who may need help with their mental health and/or substance use. Lots of healing happens at Montare!!!

Knowing that you need to go to a residential treatment facility is frightening, but Oro House makes it as comfortable as it can be under the circumstances. Yes it feels like a resort, but that makes it so that you can focus on you - why you need treatment, how to get better, and how to stay sober. If you're determined to beat addiction, the staff is determined to support you. Instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all 12-step program on you, the variety of therapies gives you lots of possibilities for growing as a person, you can find what works for you, and maybe learn more about yourself than you expected. I wish no one needed alcohol and substance abuse treatment, but for anyone that does Oro House is an amazing place to get the help you need.

The staff and facilitators at Amend are the most caring, supportive, and talented group of people you could hope to find for this kind of treatment. They are acutely skilled in various modalities and readily available to guide you on your individualized path of healing and mental health recovery. My time here was mentally, emotionally, and physically healing. I have a much better understanding of myself, my coping mechanisms, and what is required moving forward in a healthy and sustainable manner. I couldn’t not recommend Amend higher. This is a special place filled with loving people. I’m eternally grateful for my time here.
