A center dedicated to serving adult men struggling with addiction, Better Life Recovery in Orange County, California, uses a 12-Step program to help their clients move forward to a healthier life. Most of their clients stay for 1 to 12 months, and they offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with Vivitrol, for example, a residential inpatient program, an outpatient program, and reintegration assistance. Better Life Recovery has split their ideal recovery process into 3 phases: Phase I is early recovery in inpatient care for 15 to 30 days, Phase II is partial hospitalization (PHP) or intensive outpatient (IOP) for 45 to 60 days, and Phase III is continuing outpatient care and beginning reintegration steps for up to 1 year. Their reintegration assistance focuses on bolstering the independence of their clients by providing legal and employment assistance and teaching them necessary life skills.

Better Life Recovery’s rehabilitation center focuses on including tranquility in each part of their facility. They are ideally situated in what is widely known as a “national recovery destination” on the SoCal coast. They have spacious rooms and an outdoor pool shaded by palm trees. Some of the holistic activities they include are yoga, trips to a nearby gym, and swimming. Better Life Recovery is accredited by The Joint Commission and accepts many forms of private insurance.

Review from Rehabs.com

Let me start off by saying my experience was in-patient not outpatient. So I have no idea about that part of their program. I can say that I detoxed at Get Real and moved onto their residential treatment. If you can call it that. The pictures on their sites are nothing like the actual feel of the houses. The one I was at in particular was dated, had an odd odor, and nothing worked right. The equaline therapy and swimming promised in the websites were false. We werent allowed to use the pool because they wouldnt turn on the heater because of the bill. All the outings that were promised never happened because there was never a driver to take us because they kept quitting so it wad a lot of sitting around watching TV. The gourmet meals were mainly inedible and Ill eat anything. The chef's kept quitting leaving us delivered food to eat from a catering company known for terrible food. There were no snacks to supplement our hunger because what they dont tell you is that they chose a "holistic" approach to "recovery" leaving any type of sugar or caffienated beverage out of the picture. The pantry was under lock and key which held a few things we werent allowed to eat. "Allowed to eat." I've been to facilities where there were bed bugs and we had to support ourselves on food stamps to feed the house and I would go back in a second if it were a choice. And besides all those things like ammenities and food, it could have been out-weighed if the program they had was good. But there wasnt one. It was random AA meetings mainly at the house or meetings staff chose for us. Followed by a random hike here and there. Normally at some un-godly hour after an all-nighter of TV and Nature-Valley granola bars. Go somewhere else. Go learn something at a state facility that doesnt promise what they cant gi e or are too cheap to give.

Groups were very educational, small census, I even was able to attend more groups when needed. They helped me get on feet with life skills. I have 70 days clean and planned discharge this Friday. I highly recommend this program. The staff were always available if I wanted to speak to them for advice. Therapy was helpful.

I was 94 year old train wreck when i got in here. I was using meth. I really good smooth detox and staff was very courteous, caring loving staff. If I ever had a problem someone was available to talk to me. The tools I have learned during this journey with the help of Get Real has made me a much happier stable individual. I have 60 days today. Now i feel ready for the future.
