Testimonial
My experience at Chapters Capistrano was first rate and very personalized to my needs. The staff was unbelievably attentive and truly cared about the patients. From the person who got me admitted to the staff, therapists and nurses I was given excellent care. It has given me a new outlook I hadn't had prior to going. It is a small facility so every patient receives excellent interpersonal care emotionally, physically and mentally.

Former Client

Attorney

I highly recommend Chapters Capistrano if you're looking for a beautiful, peaceful setting to get well with first rate therapists. Unfortunately, this wasn't my first time in a residential facility but even more fortunately, I truly believe it will be my last. And that is in large part because of the tremendous care I received at Chapters. The staff are professional and kind and the therapists are fantastic. The house I stayed in was fantastic- all private rooms except mine. I stayed in a suite and had an amazing roommate who I can gratefully say became like a sister. The food was also amazing and the general area is gorgeous and while those things are obviously not necessary to get well, they certainly help you focus on your therapy and treatment.

We love hearing about your treatment experience
