These are real words from real patients experiencing real recoveries after healing at 12 Palms Recovery Center. Our well-appointed Center, nurturing counselors and specialists and relaxing sub-tropical climate help our clients reengage with the people, work and activities they once loved.

The 12 Palms Recovery Center property features a plantation-style main house with private and semi-private rooms, private bathrooms and showers, and comfortable. Upon arrival our medical staff helps our clients recover from the side effects of withdrawal safely and pharamacologically, if necessary. When ready, clients then begin their journeys to recovery with one-to-one and small group therapy sessions, a full menu of fun activities and chef-prepared meals. The 12 Palms property, located on 10 waterfront acres, also features a large swimming pool and 12 private and semi-private cottages.

Compassionate Recovery and Boosted Confidence in a Nurturing Environment

Unlike other rehabilitation clinics that confine patients in a strict hospital-like setting, 12 Palms understands recovering addicts and alcoholics often heal more comfortably in a luxurious, relaxed atmosphere. Our clients have complete access to cell phones and laptop computers as well as family members, business partners and more. At 12 Palms we provide the tools and resources our clients need to address the stressors and joys that daily life brings. That is what leads our recovering clients to say, "My life is beyond my wildest dreams. It really is."

Hey Keith,

I saw that Kristi reached out to you the other day and I wanted to do the same. I cannot express how grateful I am to you and 12 Palms. I always remember you telling people not to thank you for the help that you provide but to stay clean and sober and that is thanks that keeps you going. I have been blessed to be able to stay clean for this first year and I have learned that if I just to the right thing, it really isn't that hard. I am not going to lie and say that some bad thoughts do enter my mind from time to time but that is just my disease reminding me that it is there whenever I want to come out and play again :)

I feel like a little kid every morning that I wake up. I notice things that I have never noticed before and I can truly say that I finally know what love means and how powerful it can be when you do the right thing. Well I am off for another day and I am pretty sure that I am going to make it through the sober way. Sobriety is a gift and I cherish it every day and I remind myself that it is not something that is just given to you, it is something that you have to constantly work for in order to keep it.

Keep spreading the word about the miracle of sobriety.

I love you and all of the staff and clients at 12 Palms.

PS - I think I will be down for the reunion that Tom is putting together for March 22-24th. Hope to see you soon.

Wife Letter

Keith,

Time flies; today was the day Ben left for 12 Palms. I wanted to take a moment to send this email and let you know how grateful I am that 12 Palms was there for Ben (and our family) when he was in desperate need of guidance. I have been emotional all day thinking back to where our life was a year ago and where we are now. Ben has been sober 1 year, I no longer worry about what he is doing (thanks to Nar Anon), our son is happy and healthy, and we are pushing on with a normal life... stronger than ever! I thank God everyday for the miracle that Ben surrendered to addiction & chose 12 Palms in his first step in recovery. It is Ben that wanted and continues to be sober, however I cannot say that if he chose a different recovery center he would have been successful in doing so. I am eternally thankful & I will never forget all of you, as you are all truly one of a kind. Hopefully we will be able to come & visit soon!!!

With sincere gratitude,

Kristi

• Ford's Testimonial

  I was scared, but they made me feel right at home. We go fishing, we go surfing, we go to the beach every Sunday, it doesn't get much better than this. I thought treatment was going to be like jail, but it isn't like that - we're not locked down, we have privileges and it feels great. 12 Palms rehab rules - Ford

  There's a group of people that came out of 12 Palms rehab a year ago and they are still sober I now make good lifestyle choice I have true friends in the recovery community now that know me and would do anything for me I never had that before, people that would drop whatever they're doing to help me I's so cheesy but 'm going to say it, my life is beyond my wildest dreams it really is - Lyndsay
