Silicon Valley Recovery was my first step along my journey to recovery. Having never been in treatment before, I really didn’t know what to expect. But, from the top down, this place is focused on treatment, recovery, and putting their client’s best needs first. It starts at the top with the CEO, Sonja. She has an amazing heart and seemingly will never get too far away from her clients, no matter her role. She is a true inspiration and one can see her heart and soul in how this place is run from the top down. I want to give a special shout out to the therapists that I worked with. Johnny is very straightforward, to the point and full of knowledge. He has seen it all and is a tremendous resource for anybody at this stage in their life. Joaquin is always there to listen and to offer advice. Whether it be after meetings, after hours or just about any time, his dedication and passion to his craft speak volumes. Sam has one of the biggest hearts I have ever known. As honest, genuine and helpful a person as anybody would want to have in their life during this time or at any time. He has been there for me long after I left and the entire crew just exudes passion and joy for what they do. I never had a chance to work with Kaitlyn directly, but heard wonderful things about her empathy and therapeutic ability. The administrative staff is wonderful, the chef is world class and supplies are always well stocked. The place is incredibly clean and it allows anybody in this situation to just fully focus on what they need. These are some of the most important days of my life. I met friends that I will have forever , and I am now looking to give back by working on a counseling degree myself. I never knew what I was getting into, but couldn’t feel more blessed having gotten into it. Thank you SVR from the bottom of my heart.

My time here was great. The staff is welcoming and truly make it as comfortable as possible. I have nothing but good things to say. It is truly a sense of community. They truly care for the clients. The knowledge and tools I walked away with have transformed my outlook on life. During my stay here I had taken some pretty heavy things in my life and with the help of the counselors, therapist and staff I was able to push through them. There consideration and compassion helped me tremendously. Thank you SVR!

Loved SVR so much, they’ve helped me multiple times while I was at my lowest. A big shout out to Sam for always staying in touch and showing us how much he cares even when we leave. I also want to shout out Nick and Kaitlyn they are amazing and made sure I left knowing that I’m worth it. All the staff are amazing, and I’ll never forget any of them. The facility is great were taken care of very well, from home cooked meals by the chef, to amazing outings on the weekend, to humble at center AA meetings. Love you SVR!

Amazing staff and helped me on my recovery. 100% recommend compared to anywhere else.

My stay at SVR was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my life. From the first day to the last, I felt completely comfortable and supported. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure every need is met. The CEO, Sonja, personally connects with everyone, which really shows how much she cares. You can tell that the medical team, techs, therapists, and counselors truly love what they do. There’s a perfect balance of therapy, fun activities, and downtime. The activities offered, such as weekly horse therapy, yoga, and sound baths complement the group and individual therapy sessions, making the experience truly holistic. The food was great—fresh, healthy, and always satisfying—and the rooms were cozy, clean, and comfortable, creating a peaceful environment to heal and recharge. I also made some amazing friends during my time there, people who truly understood what I was going through and supported me every step of the way. Having never been to treatment before, I didn’t know what to expect, but SVR far exceeded anything I could have imagined. The environment is light, positive, and genuinely uplifting.

My time at Silicon Valley Recovery (SVR) was nothing short of life changing. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but I truly learned so much about myself and my substance abuse. The entire team there are passionate and genuine in the care they provide to the incoming clients, I was easily able to settle in and focus on what I needed to work on. The facility feels like a comfortable home, the food is great, and I'll miss the Bevi machines. The staff make sure to work on your case (e.g., FMLA), and truly allow you to rest as you recover. The Incidental Medicine Services (IMS) staff are also extremely thoughtful and go above and beyond. Besides this, you meet a diverse group of clients (a.k.a. other people in recovery), that help you learn and grow and broaden your sober community. The therapies provided allow you an outlet for your thoughts and feelings as well as provide tools to use to better your approach to sobriety. The sampling of meetings (off site) you attend help you to see what flavors of meetings exist in the community (AA, NA,CMA, CODA). SVR also does an fantastic job with keeping in touch with alumni and coordinate in-person and virtual alumni/client meetings. I would highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend SVR to anyone looking to work on their substance abuse recovery. SVR will always have a special place in my heart.

SVR truly changed my life. The thing that stuck out most to me was how caring and compassionate that staff was starting with the CEO, Sonja. Everyone there genuinely cares about you and does their best to help you feel comfortable and safe and accommodate whatever personal needs you have. I did not originally come here entirely on my own (lots of external pressure) and had thoughts of leaving at first. I am beyond grateful that I didn’t. Once I detoxed and mental clarity returned, I started to listen and engage with the program they have put together and I feel like a genuinely better person for it. Most of the staff are also in recovery themselves and that made a huge difference for me; they understand on a personal level and are beyond supportive. By participating in the program and truly being honest with myself, I’ve reoriented my mind in how I view my relationship with alcohol which is something I never thought would happen. I had totally given up on myself and was resigned to my addiction. SVR gives you the tools and support to change the way you think about your DOC and most importantly yourself. I feel optimistic and hopeful about my life for the first time in many years after my time there. As far as services, I didn’t find anything lacking. All the rooms and facilities were very clean and well kept. They have an attentive 24/7 medical staff onsite, a personal chef that prepares 3 (delicious) meals a day throughout the week, gym with a pool/sauna 3 times a week, equine therapy, and weekend outings doing fun things like Top Golf, hikes, the beach, etc. They even have someone come in to give everyone haircuts every couple of weeks. You also get your cellphone during the day after 10 days, and have landlines for you to use freely whenever you want between 8am and 1030pm to stay in touch. If you are reading this and are considering checking in yourself or a loved one, I highly, highly encourage you to do so if you have the ability to. It may be one of the hardest decisions you make in life but it will also be one of the best. Hope still exists. I thought it didn’t for me but my time here completely changed my perspective on things. Make the phone call! You will thank yourself for it.

Amazing and attentive staff, they genuinely care here and want to set you up for success. They pay attention to everyone’s individual needs while encouraging self advocacy. Great curriculum with a mix of fun and educational groups. They allowed me to crochet during group and use my ipad for art because they know the importance of being able to use hobbies as a form of recovery. Even after leaving they still check in, show support, and help in any way they can. I’ve been to multiple treatment centers and finding a place as generous and attentive as svr is rare. It’s a very small and intimate community that supports each other and I would recommend it to anyone who is on the fence about treatment, they do not force anything on you but will help guiding you in making the decisions that suit you best.
