The transformative journeys I have witnessed from my patients at this very special place have been deeply impactful and encouraging. I have sent many patients to Oro Recovery and Carmel Sober Living, and the feedback I always get is the same; resounding relief and gratitude.. I speak from the heart when I say that hope is not just a concept at Oro, it's a live reality. As a holistic health care provider I am always seeking special places and care centers I can send my patients for varying needs, The issue of dual diagnosis and addiction comes up regularly and upon hearing Dr Drew Pinsky discuss Oro with Bob Forrest, one of the owners ,on a podcast, I was intrigued. Now after all this time I can say that my patients return to continue work with me after receiving a level of care that is a testament to the expertise and excellence of the Oro Recovery team. What sets Oro apart is their unwavering commitment to mind/body approaches, a remarkable team of providers- psychiatrist Dr Prince, to Jason the therapist to Jodi the case manager, Beth the admissions director,,, they give their time, care and expertise generously to my patients and they feel seen, cared for with compassion and also offered the latest integrative approaches for wellness and brain health. My patients have described this pace and the people in it as a lifeline back to their self. They receive tools for lifelong wellness and recovery. I wholly recommend Oro Recovery and Carmel Sober Living to anyone in need of addiction recovery and mental health support and care.

There are no words adequate enough to express the depth of gratitude for the care and treatment my son received at Oro House Recovery. They didn’t just change my son’s life…. they saved it, and gave my family hope when we felt all was lost. From the very first phone call made to admission director Bob, I knew that things there were different, and exceptional. There was a level of compassion shown that I didn’t believe existed. The staff’s level of heart, skill, integrity and caring was over the top. Just to name a few, my heartfelt thanks go to Corey, Kyle, Guy, the techs, doctors, psychiatrist, administrative staff, literally everyone there is all-in and the very best in the world at what they do. I truly believe that Oro House is possibly the most unique and best recovery center in the world and I will be forever grateful for the miracle they gave to us.

Oro changed my life. The idyllic Malibu setting is complemented by a warm and welcoming staff of incredibly skilled, experienced professionals with the necessary expertise to guide their guests through the difficult early days of recovery and prepare them for long term sobriety. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with their gifted team of therapists who helped me on my journey to freedom. I spent a little over a month there and I am now free of the addiction, depression, and horrible anxiety I suffered from 506 days ago when I first arrived for treatment. To the entire staff at Oro, THANK YOU! My life is so great now, one day at a time.

Oro House isn’t just a recovery center — it’s a sanctuary. The staff goes above and beyond to meet any reasonable request with genuine care. They actually want you to relax, regroup, and deal with what brought you there, without added pressure or judgment. I’ve never felt so supported — or honestly, so pampered — in my life. The atmosphere is calming, the attention is personal, and they don’t just talk about healing — they make it possible. if you’re looking for a place that delivers on what it promises, this is it.

Oro House is a beautiful dual diagnosis treatment center that accepted me when Rise recovery said they couldn’t due to a mental health diagnosis. From the start Bob treated me like an actual human and listened to me and some of the trauma I experienced. Oro cares about building connection and trust through personal relation, I really felt like the people there truly were passionate about what they did and serious about not only their sobriety but helping others get there as well. I spent 30 days in their inpatient program and 20 in outpatient. I’m still sober today and have a brand new job living in Dallas TX with my life back on track. On top of this it really felt more like an undeserved vacation, it wasn’t hard to go here at all.

they forget your medications sometimes and dont authorize supplements that you need.

DO NOT go to this rehab facility if you have mental illness. Oro House is basically a detox center for the wealthy. I suffer from Bipolar 1, C-PTSD, and autism. They only have one psychiatrist that could only meet with you for a maximum 15 minutes a week, which is not sufficient especially if there is a medication change. They also stated they would provide food options for any diet but that was not the case, I had to resort to candy and soda that was kept in the pantry. And I am not a picky eater, I just can't eat certain meats. They asked me to leave when I vocalized my concerns. Not only did they make me feel more embarrassed about my struggles but now even more hopeless.

Marina has been a wonderful help in my recovery, she always brightens my day. Drew is a great listener. Jodi will always make sure that what you need is provided. The chefs are on it, and always make a delicious spread to greet you at every meal. The nurses are always a delight, especially Ellen. The whole team is top notch 👌 👏
