Client Testimonials

Andrea Ross (a successful clean and sober former client)

"My experience at Ocean Hills Recovery without a doubt saved my life. When I arrived, I had no hope. I had been using drugs and alcohol continuously and could not stop. I was convinced that I could not live without drugs and alcohol, but I also knew this was not the person I was raised to be. The staff at Ocean Hills Recovery believes in helping addicts and alcoholics in a loving, family-oriented environment. The care and guidance they provided me with has allowed me to learn how to live my life free from dependence on drugs and alcohol. Because of the nine months I spent at Ocean Hills Recovery, I am the person I want to be today. Moving forward through my life, I will utilize the tools and principles that I learned at Ocean Hills Recovery on a daily basis in order to maintain my sober lifestyle. Today, I am full of hope."

Betty (Mother of a successful client)

"Our 31 year old son has struggled with addictions for more than half of his life. He participated in numerous residential and outpatient programs. These programs taught Craig how to abstain, but just like a crash diet the effects didn't last much beyond completion of the program. At Ocean Hills Recovery the clients learn how to live a sober life. They learn that they can go to ball games, to bonfires on the beach, to restaurants, to play softball and many other activities without using drugs and alcohol. In other words they learn to live a sober lifestyle. In addition, the warm supportive family environment provides comfort to all of the clients, especially those like our son who is working on recovery more than 3,000 miles from home. We are very grateful for all that Ocean Hills Recovery has done for our son."

Lisa R. McTear (A Letter Written by the Mother of a Recovered Addict)

Dear Greg:

Just over six months ago we had reached a point with our son, Jerry, where we were at a complete loss and did not know how to help him. We had the great fortune to have sent our son to Ocean Hills to enter the recovery program. Shortly thereafter, I had my first interaction with Joey Hunter.

Joey quickly held Jerry accountable for his actions. He refused to allow Jerry to dictate his treatment though that is what Jerry had been able to do at each of the previous treatment centers he had attended. Joey spent many hours counseling and guiding Jerry to do the right things for his sobriety. In addition to counseling Jerry, Joey also helped me by being a voice of reason in the crazy mixed up world of addiction.

As many parents of a loved one addicted to drugs, I continually buckled under pressure and allowed Jerry to manipulate me and any situation to his advantage. Our lives were torn apart and our family was in crisis. Wow, did we need a wake up call! Joey provided that and did so in a way that was non-threatening and non-judgmental.

Over the years Jerry has had many drug addition and mental health counselors. None of those other counselors would talk to us, not even to provide input that would help Jerry. He was able to manipulate every one of his counselors until he met Joey. I truly believe that Joey and the team at OHR saved my son's life.

Jerry is now in Sober Living and continues to get counseling from Joey. My son is doing very well. He has 6 months sobriety and has a full-time job with great potential for growth. I attribute Jerry's success to his desire to change his life and the support and counseling from the finest counselor I have ever met! Our family owes Joey and the rest of the staff at OHR a great deal of thanks and we do believe that he and they saved our sons life.

Best regards,

Lisa R. McTear

PS Feel free to post my comments on your web page or quote me on any literature. I can't thank Joey and the OHR team enough for what they have done. Rodney, Thurman, and Vito were also awesome! I am also willing to talk to any family member who is struggling and trying to decide where to send their loved one.
