Ocean Breeze Recovery

I went here 5 years ago and I owe them a lot of thanks for saving my life. I’ve been clean for 4 years now. Most of the staff do a great job, and a lot of them will go out of their way to help you if you’re having a tough time. I met my fiancé there, (I know no rehab romances lol) and spent the best 4 years of my life with him after completing ocean breeze. Unfortunately, the love of my life passed away last year from the monster we call addiction. We spent almost all of those 4 years sober, but my fiancé felt depressed and relapsed. I did not see it coming, he was always so much stronger than me. At least there’s no more pain for him, and is reunited with his dad now.

Sorry for the rant, but I wanted to post this because of how much ocean breeze has done for me and others. Before, I didn’t have the tools to cope with reality. I’m also incredibly grateful I met my fiancé, Garrett there and was able to spend the happiest years of my life because of the help they gave to us both.

I went to this treatment center back in 2016 and it was an incredible experience. It was my first ever time trying to get sober with treatment and I could not ask for a better experience. Everyone here was very motivated and involved and I loved the sense of community and hope. The schedule was great and I loved that the residence was across the street from the beach. I don’t know if they still do it, but they used to take us to the beach at sunrise for yoga and meditation! (optional of course) … the staff was SO caring and knowledgeable. I stayed sober for 8 months after this treatment center but eventually had to get more treatment and went to a Christian program that one of OBR’s staff members had told me about. I’ve been sober for 2.5 years now. Will always be grateful for my time at OBR and fond of the treatment program that got me started on the better path.

An eye-opening experience that made me understand to let go but not let go of myself while helping my husband recover from his addiction

My experience was good. This place has helped me to remain sober now for almost 9 months. They make you get out of your comfort zone which helped me a lot.

Two and a half years ago I was given the opportunity to stop and hit the reset button on a life that was spiraling. I had been in decline for several years. I had a lot more going on beneath the surface than I had the ability to see, and definitely more than I could handle on my own. It has taken work but I’m happy with where I’m at these days… I see how much I have grown and changed for the better. Even when life gets complicated, I am excited to see what will come next. (My old self would be in fear and decision paralysis.). I have been able to connect with people in healthy ways and now have relationships that, in the past, always seemed out of my grasp. My self awareness continues to grow and that keeps me motivated. Most of all, I know that there is always hope and a solution out there for me. OBR, Delphi, and the alumni network continue to support my wellness… and we still get together and do fun stuff! For anyone really trying to figure things out, stay open minded and be willing to embrace the process. It won’t always be comfortable or easy but will ALWAYS be WORTH IT. You’re not alone.
