AKUA Mind Body - Detox Addiction Treatment San Diego

Every aspect of Akua is amazing. My time there was structured and filled with love and kindness. The staff is always there to help in your time of need and I have made friends that I cherish and care about deeply. Not only did Akua give me the tools to make a change in my life but Akua also gave me a new lease on life .

I love you guys you’re all awesome (staff members and alumni)

Wow. I am speechless. I am a former client of Akua, Now alumni. I recently visited Akua Mission Hills to do a panel and speak my experience strength, and hope of my recovery from addiction to the clients in detox. I couldn’t believe the structure and cleanliness and friendly new faces (staff) I saw. Of course, detoxing and the first few days of sobriety aren’t easy, Trust me, I’ve been there too many times to count. But damn, I’m kind of envious, I wish I could have detoxed in such a nice beautiful structured environment. Actually scratch that, yes I’m jealous okay. 😒 I got to give a huge shout out to the vice president of Akua (Neely Weir). She did an amazing job creating a lovely healing environment. An environment where staff look forward to coming to work and pulling up their bootstraps to save lives. An environment where clients are ready to heal. May I also mention the delicious crumble cake I had that the chef made. I love going there specifically for sweet treats. I know the chef delivers without a doubt. And no, I’m not blowing smoke up anyone’s ass. I’m simply stating the truth. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Anyways, peace out. I LOVE U SASHA DONNA AND RON!!! - B-Rad

Expressing gratitude for Akua Mind and Body. I am going in 3yrs of sobriety and could not have found this path without the care I received at the Akua in-house treatment facility. Staff works hard to maintain a trustful and safe environment to learn and work on deep rooted issues that come with addictive behaviors. From my counselor Javier’s one liners always telling me, “take those small wins Dave” to my therapist coming up with a game plan to address issues wether there from your childhood or more recent. Huge shout out to Chef Becca that is a 1 women army and plays a huge role in nourishing in-house residents back to health and clear thinking with her delicious food. Would love to make a guest appearance as your sous chef any day Becca (if you see this🙏🏽). The road to sustainable recovery doesn’t stop when you coin out as a resident. Akua’s after care program aka “Akua Alumni” has played a pivotal role in my continued sobriety. The Thursday Akua Alumni 12 step meeting provides a home group meeting for me where I know I can listen, be heard or just because I’m broke and want free food cooked by chef Becca🤣. But seriously I’ve been through a lot of “changing of the guards” in terms of leadership for the alumni program. I love and appreciate everyone that has blessed us with their time, care and love (you know who you are) but today I can say that the culture and vibe with in-house peeps and alumni peeps is the strongest that I’ve seen. Big Thanks to Kersey for being an amazing coordinator that hired on during what I would call a rough patch. She has assembled and empowered key players (you know who you are) that have filled a void and a much needed heart beat to keep our meetings and activities fun, interesting and cost friendly if not free to our diverse Akua family. Thanks to everyone at Akua from top to bottom and all my Akua family that listen and support me through this journey. If you are reading this and yourself or someone you know is struggling with addiction, mental health, co dependency ect. I recommend reaching out to Akua as a recource for treatment. If they don’t have an answer for you they will get you to the right place.

I been to 15 other treatment programs this was by far the best one of you really want to get clean and live a happy sober life check this facility out Jenn my case manager was the best hands down!!!!

My experience from Akua Mind and body has been the best experience possible. From the very start of when I started my stay, I was opened with welcoming arms. Every group meeting has helped me get on track my dual diagnosis. Every staff member truly cares about your recovery and wants to see you succeed. I am so thankful Akua took a chance on me and helped me restart my life on the right track. I love Akua!! -Meaghan

Akuas staff was caring and supportive of my recovery. I felt safe and secure. I made it to thirty days with everyone’s support. I am going home with new tools and new forever sober friends.
