I wholeheartedly give Wish an excellent 10 rating all around. If you truly want LUXURY along with state-of-the-art detox/rehab for addiction to alcohol or drugs, this is the place. I have stayed at three other "luxury" rehabs and Wish Recovery tops them all.
My last trip to rehab (so far successful!) is when I found Wish Recovery. I was so impressed with the 30 day residential treatment that I moved into their sober living house and attended the Wish PHP and IOP programs for a total of 90 days. I realized that my recovery comes first this time and I want to stay for myself now (not just for my family).
This is why I give top ratings to Wish Recovery and their staff: The Staff is Wonderful! - friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive. I immediately felt at home as they made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed in detox and after.
The Care provided is Excellent! - skilled and compassionate nurses and clinical staff. Weekly sessions with an MD and well as Psychiatrist who effectively adjusted my meds for depression. The staff creates an environment for their clients to experience an effective and comprehensive program for recovery from addiction. (see Program. details below)
The Food and Meals are Excellent! The chef creates gourmet and healthy meals for residential as well as the clients in the Sober Living house and PHP and IOP. (examples are perfectly cooked sea bass with a small filet, veal cutlets, shrimp or beef or chicken kabobs etc always served with salad and fresh veggies) They stocked the kitchen with pretty much any snack or beverage that I was craving (non alcoholic of course!)
The House and Rooms are Perfect! - the interior is beautifully designed with comfortably furnished community areas and a gourmet kitchen. Bedrooms are appointed with high quality beds and linens and each is ensuite with luxury bath. I loved that each room has its own climate control and large flatscreen TV.
The Patio area, Pool, Hot Tub, Gym and Dry Sauna are Delightful! - you can tan on a chaise, swim laps in the salt water pool, sit in the hot tub to unwind, hop on the treadmill or Stairmaster or lift some weights in gym or sweat it out in the dry sauna. The sober living house also has a lovely pool and patio w/outdoor barbecue area w/pergola.
Recreation/activities: clients have yoga classes, kick boxing classes, and Rock to Recovery (where the group creates their own song each week), receive massages and/or chiropractic if requested, and on Sundays there are outings for the clients. We went to the Getty Museum, Malibu Beach and Go carting.
I found that there is more to Wish than being Luxurious. I experienced so many great aspects to Wish's program. Wish Residential and IOP have highly trained and compassionate clinical staff that are skilled in addiction as well as trauma. A client receives one on one therapy during residential as well as PHP and IOP rehab. Specialists in hypnotherapy (to help with healing trauma), spirituality, and certified counselors work with clients with relapse prevention, exposure to AA 12 steps and other types of recovery resources, emotional regulation and understanding the physiological aspects of addiction. I especially benefitted from the hypnotherapy and the individual therapy sessions.
I honestly can not think of anything Wish Recovery did not provide for me in Detox/Residential, then in Sober Living at PHP and IOP at the beginning of my recovery journey. They sincerely make the experience of detox/rehab as enjoyable (and effective) as humanly possible. Wish helped open the door for long term recovery for me.
This was my first experience in a treatment facility of any kind and I was terrified. I’m also really picky (I know a lot of people say that, but I really am.) It was definitely time for me to deal head with my alcoholism and mental health issues head on. After much research and a few discussions with the wonderful intake person Allison, I was on a plane to California. I can say upon completing the 30 day program that it was the best gift I could have ever given myself. The program was so well rounded and entirely comprehensive. Every single staff member genuinely cared about my well being and it showed. While I was excited to go home I couldn’t help but be a bit sad because I felt a genuine connection to the people I’d spent so much time with. In addition to the care for addiction and mental health, I came back well nourished. That’s actually a gross understatement. I’m still in mourning that I’ll likely never eat so well again. I also did regular kick boxing and yoga and came back in much better physical condition than when I left. If you are on the fence about which luxury rehab to choose, I highly recommend Wish.
