The Canyon at Santa Monica

My experience at The Canyons was life changing. Antonio and his team of therapists, support groups and staff are all wonderful to work with and truly care about your recovery and well being. I have had other experiences in recovery and have never come out with a more solid foundation and hope for the future than I have since leaving the canyon. They have all the necessary resources and even offer post recovery Alumni services that I plan to unitize moving forward. If you have problems with addiction or questions about your sobriety and substance use, the Canyons is a place that I highly recommend for a better chance at a brighter future and one that doesn’t depend upon substance abuse. A big thank you to the entire team at The Canyons…you have changed my life and myself, my kids and family are appreciative of all that you have done for me!

I can’t say enough good things about the Canyon. It completely changed my life, from the day I enrolled I could tell how serious Antonio was about changing my life for the better. I am so grateful to have found a place like this that helped support me and teach me the lessons I needed not just in sobriety but in my entire life. The entire staff here is great, and extremely committed to helping you by any means possible. When I first enrolled here I was a bit lost and having the hardest time of my life. Antonio, Francesca, and Jessie were amazing in showing me the attention, love and support I needed while also being great influences and people I could bounce any idea off of. The other clients at The Canyon were amazing as well, everyday I would go in it felt like I was surrounded by best friends and family. The community of people here are second to none. Antonio was there everyday eagerly doing the most to ensure we all were getting what we needed, no matter what it was. He was even there Christmas and New Year’s Day. I seriously can’t say enough positive things about my experience here, and I know if I ever face a tough time in life again I will have a place to go. Thank you for getting my life back to where I need it to be !

I am deeply grateful for The Canyon and the incredible support they provided during one of the most challenging periods of my life. Before joining the program, I felt lost and unsure of how to rebuild myself after facing alcohol and drug addiction. What truly sets this program apart is the caring and knowledgeable team. From day one, I felt understood and supported. The workshops and counseling sessions were practical and empowering, teaching me skills I didn’t even know I needed, like managing stress & rebuilding confidence. The sense of community was another key element—I never felt alone on this journey. Connecting with others who were in similar situations gave me the strength to push forward and believe in myself again. Thanks to The Canyon, I now feel equipped to take control of my life and move forward with purpose. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for guidance and support to get back on their feet. It truly changed my life!

I had the immense privilege of attending the Canyon twice. I completely turned my back on sobriety and found myself in a place of hopelessness and despair. The Executive Director Antonio refused to give up on me and moved heaven and earth to make sure I would get the help I needed. Since the day I met him he as been in my corner and I have watched as he has worked tirelessly every single day to ensure each and every one of his clients are taken care of. He is constantly reinventing the program making sure the best clinicians are on staff. Their level of knowledge and professionalism blended with kindness, patience, and unconditional love is special to be a witness to and a recipient of. They blend CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Eastern Philosophy, Scientific Study, SMART Recovery, Refuge/Dharma, AA and all other 12 Step recovery programs into an actionable toolkit that equips their clients to find a path that works for them and to completely rebuild themselves into a brand new life. I cannot express my gratitude enough to this program. It truly works if you're willing to try.

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation and gratitude for such a wonderful program, all the staff our caring and experienced with the problems that come with addiction.The environment at the Canyon in professional clean and very welcoming, because of the Canyon I am sober member of society today, my family is back in my life, all my legal issues have been dealt with, with the Canyon assisting me with great references to take to court. I cannot thank this program enough, especially Antonio, Franchesca ,Jesse, and Lisa. These staff members has went above and beyond to help me become a better person. The work they our doing at the Canyon is the best I have seen in the 25 programs I have been too before coming to the Canyon.I have a long history with drug and alcohol addiction and I have been through so many programs that just didn’t care about helping you or giving you the tools you need the deal with your addiction. But thank God for the Canyon at Santa Monica. The Canyon in my opinion is the best program I have ever been treated at for alcohol and drug addiction, God Bless the Canyon
