Zack Lakatos

The staff here is on call at all hours, and is truly remarkable in both care and staying punctual. Patients requiring medicine were promptly and professionally managed, these nurses truly do work hard and care. I personally enjoyed the weekly meditation and yoga classes. Also, the personal chef preparing every meal really helps. I appreciated the directors personal attention to all manners, which showed me even from the top- the entire staff cares.
I attended their detox program. ZL.

Todd Stilwell

Over the last 16 years, I’ve been to multiple treatment centers both as a client and as a supportive family member. Rarely have I experienced a symbiosis of care, quality of facilities, and professionalism like my little brother was provided at Sierra Health + Wellness. From our initial phone conversations, to intake, and now his continued care – the journey has gone as smoothly as humanly possible. There are always surprises along the way and a program’s ability to morph in stride is critical. Sierra Health + Wellness rolled with the punches and included our family as well as his therapist at home. This is one of the best programs around. Period.

Colleen Mulgrew

I found this company to be very educational about what substance abuse is and how to best approach my son with his addiction. They stood by me and helped me guide my son into treatment. He was so resistant to the idea of going into treatment but after Dave talked with him he went right in. Thanks so much to Dave and Trish for their help

In a world where help with addiction and mental health is sometimes hard to find. David Burke And Sierra Health + Wellness are always there. David has always been there and gone above and beyond what is expected of him to help others. Thank you David and Sierra Health + Wellness.

Kallie Peterson

I recently toured Sierra Health + Wellness and I was so impressed with the atmosphere. Everyone was so nice and it is a beautiful environment. I was welcomed by all staff and all of my questions answered. I strongly recommend this treatment facility for yourself or loved ones.

Christopher Noll

By far the most effective establishment I’ve experienced for substance and mental health. The staff, from top to bottom, are by far the most caring, personable, and professional. Suffering from substance abuse for 20+ years I finally feel confident in my future and cared about as an individual. Sierra Health + Wellness is cutting edge in therapy and course work while making every patient feel like a valuable human being despite their struggles.
Thank you to the entire Sierra Health + Wellness family for helping me begin this new journey in my life

Jamie Dhillon

Struggling with an addiction is incredibly difficult resulting in multiple exposures with treatment and detox centers. Sierra Health + Wellness redefines what a treatment center should be. The staff is exceptionally capable of providing heartfelt support to those experiencing crisis-inducing addiction issues. This review lacks the eloquence appropriate for describing the quality of care that is given at this center. I truly appreciate the non-judgmental, highly intelligent, and very patient care given to me during this unfortunate relapse.

Amy Y.

My husband has been struggling with alcoholism for a while, and I began looking for potential residential programs that might be a good fit for him. I filled out an online form with my insurance information to get a quote and more information, and received a call no more than 10 minutes later. I did not expect that at all! Alexa was on the other end of the line and was so caring, thoughtful, and informative not only during that first call, but throughout the week as the situation with my husband escalated. She and Sierra Health + Wellness were so helpful in helping me figure out the best way to get a referral from my insurance, and even gave some advice and comfort as I contemplated taking my husband to the ER (with the explicit caveat that they are not medical professionals). Alexa checked in regularly to see if we needed any help in getting my husband to the facility and had provided lots of helpful information about the program beforehand so my husband could make an informed choice about which program he wanted to go to. This was about a week ago. Fast forward to today. My husband has been in the program for about a week. Even after he entered the program, Alexa has been really helpful and responsive with some follow up questions I had. As for the program itself, it seems to be wonderful. Great structure, great staff, great facilities (my husband is at the house in Concord, CA). Of course, any program is only as good as someone’s commitment to recovery and of course recovery is a lifelong journey. However, it does seem (and I am hopeful) that Sierra Health + Wellness is giving him a solid foundation to support this journey throughout his life. Thank you so much to Alexa and the Sierra Health + Wellness team!

Jon Goodell

The staff and facilities here are great. I felt very comfortable and had a great experience. I would recommend them highly for anyone having an issue with substance abuse.

Ryan Carollo

Doctor’s and psychiatrist were so helpful and got me on the perfect balance of medications to manage my substance abuse problem and chronic back pain as well as depression and anxiety . Loa you my №1. Love you all . I’m sincerely going to miss you guys .

Julie Ballinger

I can not say enough wonderful things about this place. I highly recommend this facility if you really want to get sober!!

Andrew Lopez

Came here just before Christmas of 2023 and spent 90 days of recovery here. The amount of growth that occurred for me was astonishing and it was the best choice I made for myself. 10/10 staff. Very friendly and welcoming. Stellar therapy team too. I can honestly say I was a little sad to be leaving. Felt like home at the end, and I will miss see everyone. All that to say I’m wildly thankful for the “Sierra Health + Wellness” they helped me find in my life. If you or anyone you know needs support in recovery I highly recommend this facility.

From day one I received the help that I needed. Welcomed with all the love and support from each and every one of the stuff members. It wasn’t a job for them but love and respect for everyone who came for help. Thank you to all of you for your commitment in helping us who wants sobriety.

What People Say about our Sacramento, CA, Outpatient Location:

Darcy Boesch

Where do I begin.. I was hesitant to start this program because I have never experienced anything like this before, but having come to Sierra Health + Wellness (Reno) was an experience like no other. I was instantly welcomed with loving arms and good spirit. Initially, I was only able to stay 15 days because of my insurance, but because of the environment and hope I felt, I chose to stay 30. The staff counselors, techs (big shout out to Wiley!), nurses, chefs, directors, etc went above and beyond to make my stay incredibly comfortable and loving. They went above and beyond anytime I needed them. They hear you, spend time with you, listen to you. You don’t just feel like “another one of them.” The group sessions are so insightful and you can share your voice with no judgment and they were fun. I truly miss the home but don’t want to go back for the reasons I was there in the first place. We had outings, game days, walks and holiday group activities that were an absolute blast! I loved every moment. If this place doesn’t inspire you to a better life, I don’t know what will. This program will highly exceed expectations. Big hugs!!!

What People Say about our Monterey, CA Location:

Matt Pritchard

Unfortunately, I had to discharge from NSRS after only 21 days of treatment due to issues with my insurance company. The program changed my life. Every single therapist on staff are in recovery and passionate about helping us step out of the throes of active addiction. The classes were always engaging. I developed friendships with my peers and for the first time, I didn’t feel so alone. The only negative part of the program is that it took longer for me to take care of my outside responsibilities than I had expected due to very limited phone use. With that said, if residents were allowed to have their cell phones all day, there would be tons of stressors coming in from people outside the program (i.e. family bickering, non-sober friends, etc). Thank you to all the staff, Jenna, Micah, Mrs. Charlotte, Valerie, Jem, the nursing staff, the cooking staff, and a special thank you to my amazing therapist, Arthur. Your love and support saved my life.

Robert Richter

Far and away the best addiction treatment facility I’ve ever experienced. Everything is provided for you so you can concentrate on your recovery. The staff is amazing from the director to the groundskeepers all professional and approachable with any issue. The food is top notch expertly prepared with attention paid to those with special dietary needs. The counseling staff are outstanding each one bringing their own experience and unique personality to share with the group and in doing so becoming relatable to each individual in the group. If I could rate at 10 stars I would.

What People Say about our Bangor, CA Location:

Oscar Arias

Amazing facility with platinum services!

Danny Fortune

Entering treatment at Sierra Health + Wellness (Bangor) was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life!

Everyone one on staff – from the drivers, yard crew, cleaning team, cooks, nurses, counselors, therapists, and management team are some of the most caring and competent people I’ve ever met!

Naturally, I was nervous to enter treatment (largely due to previous issues with the VA), but Sierra Health + Wellness helped restore my hope and completely exceeded my expectations!

If you’re a military veteran that’s ready to find the purpose, direction, and motivation you need to make recovery a lifestyle, from one veteran to another, Sierra Health + Wellness is my first and best option for you.

I’m looking forward to coming back when I’m 90 days sober to visit the Sierra Health + Wellness family as an Alumni in March.

Joseph Morales

Sierra Health + Wellness has been a life-changing experience for me. The staff, from counselors to cooks, nurses, and cleaning detail, were exceptional. Their dedication and support made a tremendous difference in my journey to recovery. I highly recommend Sierra Health + Wellness to any veteran seeking help.

Michael Hansen

I recently completed the course here. I’ve only been out for three days, but I feel amazing that I’ve ever felt in my life and I feel like I learned more in that week than I’ve ever learned in my life. They gave me the most important tools I’ve ever received. 100% of the staff and patients treated me with kindness.

David Burke

Want to thank all the staff for what they do helping individuals and love ones finding a better quality of life. Thank you

Joseph Ramos

Therapeutic holistic structure makes it easier to recover from the root of your problem if you want to take it seriously

sandra hancock

I have only reat things to share. I have experienced help, good advice, support and partnering with me as the parent…

Chris Monterosa

The Team at Recovery Happens is amazing! They truly care and meet every client where they are at in their Recovery.

Cari McCracken

Offers the highest quality of care from experienced Counselors. The staff are truly passionate about what they do. Everyone here is super nice and very professional!! Love this place!!

Tammy Lindsley

Staff is incredible and very helpful if there is anything your not sure of. Anyone looking for a safe place for recovery I would definitely refer them here.

Elaine Johnson

I work as a clinician in the program, but would not create a biased or inauthentic review. I have been here about five months and have been impressed with the values and commitment to individualized care that drive the company, as well as the level of experience and ability of the staff.

Jim Hollingsworth

I have spent over a month now doing the full-day PHP program at Recovery Happens. I can recommend their program very highly based on my experience.

The day is split into two parts: recovery in the morning and mental health in the afternoon. The facilitators for both sessions are excellent and the curriculum they teach is comprehensive, and very helpful in dealing with issues I face everyday.

The facility is very nice and professional, the staff is courteous and there are a lot of nice touches such as good lunches brought in for the clients.

I could not be more satisfied with the care I am receiving.

ron doobz

“I made a mistake in this program. There were multiple others who had done the same thing including one person who was hospitalized because of it and I am the one who got discharged. I liked the program and they said it took a lot to get kicked out but I guess different rules apply to different people. I was super nice to everyone there.”

Ignore that 1 star review by Matt. He showed up to group drunk a couple of times. I was there… he was the ONLY one who made that mistake. Obviously this behavior can compromise a group in recovery. This place has a brilliant and caring staff who really go above and beyond. I care about the hard working individuals here and to see a damaging review with such embellishments is unfair. Also attending a group because it “takes a lot to get kicked out” kind indicates no interest in trying to put in the work. I wish Matt the best and hope he gets the help he needs.
