A life-changing process If you want to change your path, go! If you want to blame others for your inability to recover, stay where you are and save yourself some money and time. Because you will look for someone to blame everywhere you go. I believe they have the best treatment possible. It was my first and I hope my only one. I got to meet one of the co-founders and he is very down to earth, accessible and supportive. At first I was worried about the possibility of having a fun life without substances. At last I found all of the ways I could enjoy every day and be sober, thanks to Passages Ventura and its wonderful staff.

Best ultimatum I have ever received ! I came to Passages after being given an ultimatum my husband. Best thing he has ever done for me. I came in sober, much to his chagrin. I was able from the start to focus on all that was available to me. When I say my experience was life changing , I am not exaggerating . I had the best team of counsellors that anyone could ask for,. You are treated like a person not an addict. There are NO LABELS you are listened to, cared about. There's just not enough that I can say about my time spent at Passages. If you are considering rehab, Please give yourself the best gift by contacting Passages you will be thankful! Sandy V

Great alternative to 12-Step programs. I attended Passages almost five years ago and personally found the experience transformational. The staff, the program, and the setting were all very conducive to my recovery. While I don't think anyone will have much success without the right frame mind and dedicated effort, the approach at Passages was just what I was looking for after being underwhelmed by the 12 Steps. Although I did have one brief slip shortly after leaving, I was able to right the ship quickly and have been sober over four years now. I believe my time at Passages was instrumental to my new way of living.

Realistic, compassionate Recovery Goals At passages, I find the holistic approach to sobriety to be much more maintainable than any 12 step program. The staff (Doctors, nurses, psychologists, etc) care for their patients individually and don't treat them like just another number. If sobriety is really your main goal to maintain the rest of your life, passages is the place for you!

Passages Ventura I flew from Oklahoma to California to go to Passages and I'm so glad I did! It was the most pleasant experience you can have going to a rehab. They make you feel so welcome and care for you as best as possible from the nurses to the cooks(who make excellent food) to continuing care (Amber McCullough is the best and very helpful) and the rest of the staff! Calling and going to Passages was one of the best choices I have made in my life, they will get your life back on track to have a bright future!! Thanks to all at Passages!!
