“WHEN I HAD NO REASON TO LIVE, THESE GUYS GAVE ME HOPE.”

- ERIC P.

THIS IS WHY WE DO IT

There is nothing that puts a bigger smile on our faces than knowing we have helped one of our residents turn their life around. All of us understand
how hard the battle with addiction can be. It’s not easy to commit to sobriety, so every win for our patients is a win for us.

I cannot say enough about the staff at Gratitude Lodge. My husband went in for one month, and as a wife at home, 100's of miles away, my fear was that when he came back that he would want to return to his old habits. He came back a new man, back to his old self and has so much positive self esteem that our world has changed forever. Every time I called, I was greeted with a friendly voice and the support that I received was amazing. When someone goes through this, others go through it with them. The staff helped me in so many caring ways. Still to this day, they call and check on my husband to make sure he is doing well and if he needs anything at all. I highly recommend Gratitude Lodge Long Beach to give you the support and help that you need. Blessed from a loving wife.

Gratitude Lodge was my saving grace after many months of battling complete hopelessness. My voice had been silenced so many times that I could barely speak when I got there. The path that led me to Gratitude was unique and complex but the entire staff treated me like I deserved to be there just as much as any of the other clients I was there with. Two years have passed and I can still name every single staff member who impacted my life for the better and exactly how they did so. Gratitude Lodge put people in my path that gave me the strength to speak up and fight for justice for the first time in my life. They provided me a safe space to be me no matter what that looked like- the beautiful messy and tear-filled chaos of falling apart- and I am forever grateful.

I went here back in February and hands down the best treatment facility I’ve been to truly changed my outlook on recovery and life the staff was amazing food was amazing the core knowledge was legit!!

KYLE

This was my first time at a treatment center and although it was amazing, it will also be my last time at one. I was given a second chance at life because of every individual that works at the facility. They are all very attentive, accepting, comforting, and motivating. If it wasn't for me having enough courage to get myself the help I needed, and them providing me with absolutely everything in means of sobriety, I can safely say that I don't know if i would have ever gotten clean. If you're unsure if sobriety is for you, or you're sure that it is, go to Gratitude Lodge and see for yourself how awesome being sober actually can be. Much love.

JAMES

I am a 44 yr old man who spent the last 25 yrs drinking like a fish and destroying my life. This was my first time I've ever sought help, and from the day I arrived til the day I left I was treated with as if I was family. All the staff took care of me, I could feel that they wanted me to succeed. Thank you all

KRISTEN

This place literally saved my life! Ive never been to a more intimate rehab on my life! I felt so comfortable and safe. I learned how to love myself, learn about myself, and learned more about how to be a member of society again. Today because of them helping me get to where I am I have a wonderful life. I would recommend this place to ANYONE that needs help!!!

ANDREW S.

This place was the foundation to my sobriety as well as the beginning of a new chapter of my life. I was greeted at the door by a staff member and the first thing he said was, “Welcome to the best decision of your life.” Could not have been more true. I’m from out of state and they made me feel comfortable and welcomed. 24/7 care with staff that actually cares about your sobriety and well-being. If you have a chance to get to residential, they will take you to meetings to go along with the groups they have throughout the day. Therapists are very good at what they do as well, if you’re able to work with them they will work wonders. I would recommend this to anyone who is ready to make the first step toward a better life!

This place saved my life! When I had no reason to live, these guys gave me hope. They instilled morals and structure into my life. For these guys I'm forever grateful! To Gratitude Lodge & God, I owe everything!!

MARQUIS P.

This facility and the staff here are extraordinary. This place saved my life. I felt important, and they gave me the help I felt I truly needed, unlike other centers I've been to. Definitely a 10/5 star in every way possible. Love it.

BRANDON P.

I learned a lot about myself while I was at Gratitude Lodge. I learned patience and tolerance of sitting with myself. At first I did not enjoy sitting with the thoughts in my head, after a short few days with the help from the staff and the therapist. I felt way better about myself mentally and physically. I went in desperate for my life and when it was time to leave I felt I had my life back. I am truly grateful for Gratitude Lodge. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is struggling with drug addiction.
