This place is by far one of the best places in La for treatment. I’ve had some low times with them but at the end of the day they’ve done a terrific job with me . Andy housing director absolutely a great person. Steve is great as well . The structure is absolutely great here . They make sure your where you need to be and on time . Great outings . Great groups facilitators . I’ve spent a lot of time here and of course there were some low points as always but at the end of the day I love this place ! Highly recommend the apartments are really nice and this place saved my life to this day I believe ! They do more for the clients than any other program I've been to .
Known these people for 3 years and they’ve always welcomed me back with open arms. Even when they had every right to say no. I’ve built such strong relationships with a lot of people there that are still sober and in my life to this day. This place is my safe place, a place I know will always be an option if life gets bad. They challenge me to be my best self and try to help me see my full potential. If you want a strong sense of community, the best techs, and great groups i highly recommend coming to silicon beach or satori if you’re seeking primarily mental health treatment!
Silicon Beach Tx is full of bright staff in a world that feels very dark and isolating. I think if you’re struggling with substance use, it is the best place to go. If you are struggling with mental illness, lower your severity of symptoms at a residential before coming so they can help you as best as possible.
Silicon is a great program. From the Clinical Director, Alisha (Ali) to House Managers like Stephen Castel, everyone cares and genuinely wants to help you recover in whatever ways they can.
The sober livings are clean and spacious, and don’t feel crowded like housing in treatment often does. Groceries are provided with client input on what we like and want for the house.
They provide fun activities on the weekend to break the mundane reality of a clinical setting, such as game trucks, seeing holiday light displays at that time of year, etc.
Covid tests are provided very frequently and when I tested positive they handled the quarantine process as best as I could imagine. I went to a separate house where only people who needed to quarantine were residing. Safety is a large concern of theirs, as shown by their actions.
Every staff member I encountered was amazing. Brian, Adam, Steve, Ali, Kat, Sean, Stephen, Egla, the list goes on and on and on of people I don’t THINK care, I KNOW they do. They visited me at my residential facility over an hour away from where they are located to make sure that I was happy and my needs were being met, and said if I needed anything they would assist in that. I was reassured that I am always welcomed there if I choose to come back once they can accommodate my needs at that time.
The groups on the behavioral health track do need improvement, which they are actively working on now.
Although I left silicon due to my needs requiring a residential level of care, I would recommend Silicon to my closest friends and relatives, and would know they are in good hands.
Below are photos of my room and restroom while at silicon, to give future clients a more realistic view of their future living situation, that isn’t a fancy picture from a website.
Hi, I’ve been to Silicon twice so I will tell you exactly how it really is. I started off at LA Detox both times (relapsed the first time because I didn’t take THIS program seriously enough!) and had great experiences both times. Crystal, the case worker and Katrina, the therapist are angels. They truly care and you know how I know that, I’ve never lost contact with them and I’m no longer a client. Their staff continues to check up on you after you leave! I also went to silicon sober living both times, I went for two weeks the first time which was not long enough and while I listened I was solely concentrated on going home. This second time, after a month in detox, I spent two months in sober living which was the best decision I’ve made in my adult life. Yet again, the staff is phenomenal, the townhomes you live in are gorgeous, they feed you and take great care of you. My therapist, Laura was amazing, so was my case worker Jordan. When I say that I came there are a dark shell of a “human” and left with hope, happiness, sobriety, faith in a new path and belief that good people exist I am being 1000% honest. Silicon truly helped to save my life.
This place has given me a second chance at life. I came out from across the country for just their detox, ended up doing their sober living right after and I’m still here almost 5 months later. No place is 100% perfect, the people running it are human just like the rest of us, but I can honestly say that this has been my best experience treatment wise and the staff really do care about you here and want the best for you. Being here truly was a blessing in helping me get my footing to start a new life out here. They give rides to places when they can and try to assist you as much as possible. They kept me accountable during the super hard early months and were here for me every step of the way. Even came back to a surprise cake on my birthday. Truly, it’s a great place.
