The Lakes Treatment Center

The lakes treatment saved my life all the staff take good care of you and make you feel comfortable I would highly recommend it to someone who has an alcohol or an addiction problem they will get you on the right path and healthy 🙏 I'm very blessed and greatful for all they did for me

I have been to my fair share of treatment facilities and this place is beyond amazing. They never gave up on me when most of my family and friends have. The staff worked collaboraty together to help me and to help my needs. I can honestly say that this place has saved my life. The amount of love that the staff has showed me was unlike anything I have ever seen. They genuinely care about each and every one of their clients. This place saved my life.

Two of my brothers went through the treatment program at The Lakes (not at the same time) and I’m quite certain it saved both of their lives (its been over a year now for both of them sober). One has even been inspired enough to quit smoking cigarettes since leaving the program! They both loved the down to earth nature of the staff and the beautiful location. They got to try a ton of things they had never gotten the opportunity to do before (surfing, paddle boarding, pottery) and their lives were changed by the caring and knowledgable staff in the process. I now have my brothers back, and for my oldest brother, his children have him back as well and that is something I can never repay The Lakes for. The owner is so sweet and my family felt she actually cared getting to know the residents and making sure they were happy and doing well. It is a small and somewhat new business but the staff is great, and again, they really care. I am so thankful this place came into our lives.

My son was completely broken on entering The Lakes, so when he arrived he was grateful. Grateful for the healthy food, people that cared, help and support to get off the opiates that had taken over his life and safety.
I took advantage of the family counseling even though my son was not ready to initially. It supported my growth and confidence thanks to the family counselor at The Lakes.
My son is kind-hearted, smart, trustworthy, and an athlete, but heroin had taken this man away from me. I hadn’t seen that man for quite awhile and wondered if I would ever see him again.
After my son’s detox at The Lakes he got serious as his strength was growing. He invited family to visit and they took advantage of the family counseling as well.
Each time we visited our happiness grew. We took advantage of the onsite beach area and local restaurants. Our family enjoyed onsite kayaking, swimming, and jumping off the floating dock, and fishing. We got back to having fun together like old times. My son was able to wake board, play volleyball, lift weights, attend counseling sessions, and grow confident and strong. He also took advantage of off site mentors recommended by Bernadette. A group took a trip to Yosemite, which is where my son spent a lot of his youth. All of these aspects of what The Lakes has to offer helped my son find his way back and beat his heroin addiction.
My family, friends, and I were in constant prayer and I had faith, never giving up. I am forever grateful for Bernadette, Buddy, and staff for being the path God used to bring my son back to us. Their compassion, expertise, endless support, and heartfelt kindness went into saving my son. He is almost 2 years clean, has his own business, and is a wonderful dad, son, brother, friend, and grandson. He has gotten back into healthy living and caring for his family through all that The Lakes had to offer. I’m so grateful our experience was life changing! Thank you Bernadette!
