had to check out early!
Sovereign staff have absolutely no control over their clients. They make you sign a contract that you will not participate in verbal abuse, will not play loud music, will wear appropriate attire, will not hold hands..ie. fraternize with anyone of the opposite sex. When all of these rules are broken in front of staff, not a single thing is done about it. They put people with severe mental issues in the house with people who just have an addiction. When several clients complain to the director, they do not remove the person from the house. Thefts have occurred, verbal abuse has continued. Their solution to the problem is to move the person complaining to the mental health facility.
They billed my insurance for 7 psychiatric treatments, when I only had one visit.
Kids are practically having sex in front of them, they will not put a stop to it. Their solution is to make it a topic at a family meeting, and it still continues. I did not feel safe there in the house. They ought to name the place "Nut cases gone wild."

Thank You Sovereign Health..!
I am a long shoreman from Seattle. If you don’t know what that is, I load and unload ships and we have a guy that takes care of us popularly known as an EAP (Employee Assistance Professional). I was very close to him and asked him for help and he sent me to research three places, because I was his first patient going in for a Dual Diagnosis. I did research on 3 places and I felt that Sovereign has been the best treatment center as in that all the other places I’d been to didn’t have a dual diagnosis program. They worked on my medication, and helped me change it to the best of their ability. When I first came here, the pain I was going through was indescribable. My mental state, I could hardly see myself coming out of this relapse. The therapy here is second to none as far as treatment centers go. It’s not going to go perfectly from A to Z, 1 to 100, but they’re going to do their best to make sure your needs are taken care of. When I came here I felt that I was almost in a drug induced psychosis. I have bipolar disorder, borderline, anxiety, and I am still awaiting a test for Aspergers. I was clueless, and this place gave me hope. This place can give you hope too.

Sovereign Health of California Review
I heard about Sovereign Health. I was there for my Eating Disorder, which I have known for a long time I needed help with. I didn’t realize that there were places like this that could help me, and so I was ready to come. My experience with the ED Program has been phenomenal. I have learned a new way to eat, live and be healthy that I never even knew existed. It has been amazing to learn what my body needs, how to eat the right portion size, and how to consistently feed the body this way. My primary therapist has been amazing in assisting me and giving me dead-on right assignments to build my self esteem, to look at the things about myself that I am not comfortable with, and why is that. We’ve really delved into some core issues that I have never got into before. I found the group sessions very helpful here. There are so many doctors walking around here and they know what they are talking about. And I received a whole lot of support from everybody on staff. Any time I had something going on in my mind I could talk to any one of them. They knew my case, knew what was going on with me, and they were able to help me find a way to deal with whatever I was going through. The home environment that we lived in was awesome. Thank you, now I have a life. I never thought that I can be healthy with food or even care about my body. I now respect my body and I love being healthy. So thank you.

Sovereign Health of California Treatment Center
I basically heard about Sovereign Health two months ago. This is a place where you can get help for mental health and physical health. Everybody was very helpful.The staff here is just perfect. I learned a lot. I got a lot out of Sovereign Health Center. A lot of information in my head about diet, anger management, and learning about your brain; things I never thought I would learn. I am 62 days clean today thanks to Sovereign Health. New people should give patience and time. This is an excellent program, and I recommend it to anybody. I am now going to get my job back, but you’ve got to be clean. And this is the right place.

Sovereign Health of California Treatment Center
I heard about Sovereign treatment center through my EAP (Employee Assistance Program) where I work. With the actual program, when I got here and then I started, the first week was revolutionary in my thoughts about a lot of things. I was learning so much, very quickly. The nutritionist totally made me look differently with my relationship with food. She would paint a lot of pictures and give us metaphors, which helped bring our heads back to normal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was very personalized. So we could talk about what was going on in my life, and I found that really helpful. The medical doctor, Dr. Snyder was revolutionary for me. I had never had a doctor who seemed to care so much about me as a person, especially not a medical doctor. He was very blunt, he was to the point sometimes, but I appreciated that. I have very positive feelings generally about most of the staff here, at Sovereign. I think that the first part is that they all care. For somebody who is planning to come in to Sovereign, I would give them advice. Just know that you are in good hands.

When you first start the program they really help you to get in tune to who you are and to get adjusted to the people on the home and Sovereign Health facility center. You are under proper supervsison of your therapist. You can have visits with family members, significant others to help in your recovery process.

I actually first heard about Sovereign Health through a close friend of ours. I was already clean and sober for a couple of weeks but I knew I needed a lot more therapy to have focused recovery. I think from the get go the frontline people Linda, Alejandra, Robin I was just very impressed with their, their kindness and patience I got mixed up with Dr Kelly and we have had a really good relationship. If you are there with the right mindset you are going to get a lot of growth because the people here really do care. I definitely recommend Sovereign Health, I just really appreciate the people here, even in mind of some other difficulties and frustrations and I am glad that I have had last 30 days to be here and took everything up to take forth in my recovery.

Sovereign Health was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was in desperate need of help and I never felt better in my life. The fact that I was away from home is not just the distance but you know the quality of care. Sovereign has given me the tools to support, the instruction, the care everything to address, understand and accept my disease. People, even folks that are not my doctors or not my therapist, they are always nice to me. I just feel like I have had a well rounded satisfying experience. I had a great time. Thank you Sovereign Health!

I heard about Sovereign program through Treatment Solutions Network and its where my EAP had told me to go. It was still diagnosis and it had the whole homely feeling. Sovereign is you know just the right size as far as people and staff and so I hopped on a plane. I am from Connecticut I came all the way out to California. Sovereign definitely changed groups we have a lot more educational groups now like brain wellness and cognitive rehabilitation which I love the cognitive rehabilitation with Dr Cho. She always show some really good slides pretty much and she always has a good presentation that usually play like a really neat game but it is just cool to see how you know due to our addictions and whatever is that we have been going through whether its mental health, depression. The staff here is great and so friendly and is almost like your family.
