This place was amazing! Friendly staff, and great programs! Highly recommend!

Westwind took us on a camping trip this week to SanClemente and it was phenomenal! By far thee best time that I’ve had since being in treatment in LA.

Westwind was a life changing experience as a recovering alcoholic/addict. The facilitators were amazing and case management helped me to get my life back on track financially and spiritually. I... read more especially enjoyed the rock to recovery group as a musician. This weekly creative outlet was helpful and impactful in my recovery. If you’re ready to surrender and want comprehensive treatment I would highly recommend Westwind.

I attended this recovery center and it truly changed my life. When I first came in, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I quickly realized how much support, structure,... read more and care was waiting for me there. The staff really went above and beyond to make sure I felt seen and understood, and that made a huge difference in my journey. If you or a loved one is looking for help then I would highly recommend this treatment center!!!!!!

My Experience here was very good. There were ups and downs but I’m grateful for the experience I was able to have here. I want to thank my therapist Toni... read more kells for her phenomenal work and service. As well as staff Carly, Kc, Robin, Nicole, and Mikey. They all helped me in my recovery journey by being honest and respectful making me ultimately comfortable with my stay here.

Overall wonderful experience! Very pleased with staffing, the care & quality they offer!

I was at Westwind in 2021 they changed my life I celebrate 4 years of continuous sobriety today! Thank you to everyone there for making a difference in my life

West Wind Recovery changed my life. The staff genuinely care, the environment is supportive, and I felt respected every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for the guidance and... read more community I found here. Highly recommend to anyone seeking recovery support.

West Wind Recovery helped me completely turn my life around and provided a soft place for me to land while I worked on myself. One of the most impactful parts... read more of my treatment was weekly yoga classes. Venus is an amazing yoga instructor and helped me connect deeper with my body and mind. I have also grown a lot with the help of my therapist Toni. I am leaving this program feeling ready and motivated to embark on a new chapter of life.

I had a great experience at WW. Maia was my primary therapist, but the entire staff and group sessions were beneficial for my mental health. The team was extremely welcoming... read more while also remaining professional and supportive throughout my time enrolled in their program. Maia did a fantastic job of encouraging me to challenge myself and strive to work diligently on recovery. An individual must desire a better life for themselves, but the team at WW can be a strong support system to help along the way. I fully recommend their programs if they are suitable to the individual dealing with mental health or related issues.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Westwind Recovery. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed, supported, and truly cared for. The staff... read more here are not just highly trained professionals—they are compassionate, patient, and deeply committed to helping each person succeed in their recovery. The program is comprehensive and personalized. They don’t take a “one size fits all” approach; instead, they worked closely with me to understand my specific struggles and goals. The combination of individual counseling, group therapy, educational workshops, and holistic activities (like mindfulness, fitness, and art therapy) gave me tools I will carry with me for life. The environment is safe, comfortable, and free of judgment—exactly what I needed to open up and do the hard work of healing. The staff also provided support for my family, which was invaluable in helping us rebuild trust and understanding. Thanks to Westwind Recovery, I not only found sobriety but also rediscovered a sense of purpose, self-worth, and hope for the future. I truly believe they saved my life, and I will always be grateful for the care and guidance I received here. If you or a loved one is struggling, I cannot recommend Westwind Recovery enough. They don’t just treat addiction—they help you build a new life.

Excellent structured program if you’re willing to do the work. Great staff top to bottom.

I have been to A LOT of treatment centers - good, bad, mediocre. It's not something I necessarily advertise as an accomplishment, but I do think it qualifies this review.... read more Believe me when I say, Westwind is perhaps the best Intensive Outpatient (IOP) program I have every completed. It's well-organized, the groups are interactive, and the people truly care. When you've been in and out of treatment centers as much as I have, you get used to a tough-love ethos. You get used to being treated like a child, like you shouldn't have a say in your treatment plan, your aftercare goals, never-mind anything in-between. Practitioners subscribe to the same stigma you face on the outside. And while the fear of being patronized keeps you in line during your treatment, it doesn't arm you with the necessary tools to live self-sufficiently after discharge. At Westwind, I was treated like a person with the problem of addiction, not an addict. That's an important distinction, and it's hard to find. The staff have managed to foster a real sense of community among patients - also hard to find. Kiinicki, who single-handedly coordinates the night track program, made us all feel like we had something worthy to contribute. They knew each patient beyond just our names - they took an active interest in our lives and encouraged vulnerability. I am naturally guarded, perhaps because of my extensive treatment history, but Kiinicki made me feel comfortable enough to start opening up. They applauded my progress week over week. I felt seen for the first time in a long time. I didn't expect to get all that I did out of Westwind. I came in jaded, but between Kiinicki and my therapist, Maia, I didn't want to leave by the end. Both of these amazing, empathetic people helped me to see my potential. They listened to my opinions. They encouraged me to participate in my own recovery, and they tailored their approach to meet my needs. I can't say enough about how grateful I am for these two. If you have the privilege of attending Westwind's night track IOP program, Kiinicki WILL have your back. Maia's groups will have you thinking and acting differently. You'll continue to feel supported even after you leave. I cannot recommend Westwind enough (as long as Kiinicki and Maia are still there, holding down the fort!).

It’s fine, since going here I went to another rehab in Arizona that was much more intimate and client focused and found that it worked better for me. Westwind is... read more very chaotic, loud and feels like high school which can be hard especially if you get overwhelmed easily like I do. The people who work there are wonderful and they do seem to care, you’ll meet a lot of great peers too but keep in mind how you learn best because it was too much all at once for me, especially while being new at sobriety.

I was a client at Westwind Recovery from January to May 2025. From the moment I was picked up by Robin until I had my exit interview with Sean, the... read more program manager, I was cared with individualized attention and respect. Taking care of my needs through group and one-on-one therapy. I know that West Wind was central for my recovery, and I would urge anyone who finds themselves in a situation such as mine to inquire about this treatment program. You will find empathetic staff and professionals, not only with deep knowledge about the roots of addiction, but people who underwent similar experiences such as mine. I plan in being an active alumn of Westwind in the future, and I'm grateful to all of them for the unwavering support I received as I was trudging the challenge of addiction. Michael Kagan

With the guidance, compassion, and structure I found at Westwind, I was able to not only get sober, but stay sober.

The program works because it’s built on real care. The staff are knowledgeable and deeply committed. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed. And the houses themselves are beautiful, welcoming, and set up to help clients feel both at home and inspired to grow. Westwind isn’t just a place I went—it’s a part of who I am now.
