I feel they saved my life. I was taken care of the moment I walked in. Very supportive staff. Knowledgeable and always accessible. I was to stay initially for 10 days but felt so in need stayed for a full 30. I feel stronger physically and mentally and ready to face life again which was impossible a month ago. I thank them so much. I highly recommend this facility. I was at the facility in Hollister. Excellent.

Thank you for giving my loved one a second chance at being the best man he can be for his family. Your facility and staff surpassed all of our expectations. Every time I would call I was greeted by a friendly voice on the other end of the line with a very detailed report of how he was doing. You can rest assured your loved one will be taken care of and you will have peace of mind that they are getting the best care possible. He was given the tools to help him be successful when returning home.

Before putting myself into a 30-Day Intensive Inpatient Program at Bright Future Recovery (BFR), I was a lost, hopeless soul addicted to alcohol. After 32 years of heavy, heavy drinking, I had finally hit my rock bottom, and I felt that I was quickly on my way to drinking myself to death. Upon arriving at BFR, I was greeted with open, caring and loving arms, and my path towards recovery from alcohol addiction began. BFR Staff--Darlene, Amanda, Larissa, Danae, "Mama D," Grammy, Papa, Chef Carlo, Mariah, Rachel, and I am sure I am forgetting a few names at the moment--all of them treated me like Family, and I came to look at them as Family. Each and every staff member played a critical role in my recovery program--a 10-day detox followed by a 20-day residential stay.
The treatment center at 1000 Fairview Road in Hollister, CA, is a beautiful ranch style home in the middle of beautiful, rural Hollister. With fresh, clean air, rolling hills, mountain views, your path to recovery begins in a beautiful house with large rooms, plenty of natural sunlight coming through windows galore. The bedrooms, and living spaces are very roomy and comfortable, filled with comfy beds and furniture.
I cannot say enough positive things about my time at BFR. 53 days sober now, thanks solely to the tools and resources I learned about at BFR, and now an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous, I was once so lost, living in the deepest throws of alcoholism, once not wanting to wake up anymore, BFR helped me find my way. Thanks to Bright Future Recovery, I was lost, but now I am found.

I had a very positive experience here! I received wonder care from all the staff. I felt comfortable at all times and felt heard and supported. The facility was very comfortable and kept clean. The cook was excellent as well! I would and will definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

I have struggled with addiction for over 10 years. I work in the field myself ,surrendering and being the patient was hard to do. I have been to few other treatment centers, in past and hated them all. I can honestly say Bright Future Recovery was the best place for me. I never felt so safe, cared for and listen to. All the staff were so warm and friendly. Mama D was like grandma I could confide in. Jess was the sister I always wanted and told me the truth. Darlene understood my needs for self care and Larissa and Amanda made sure we still got experience life, the little trips to beach or hike in pentacles was beautiful reminder of higher power. Paint therapy was something I never thought I would enjoy, and I loved it and even look forward to Mondays. Danae was able to give me the one on one's I needed to make the smart choices. I am so happy I made the decision to stay after detox and do the work I needed. I looked forward to Sunday family visits and getting see my kids and puppy. Even they enjoyed the house and activities that we got to do well visiting. Addiction is hard and a true disease, making the choice to take care of you self is big start and I would send any of my loved ones to Bright Future. Thank you for giving me the confidence and support I needed to get my life back.

When I first came to Bright Future I was broken, I had no self worth and I completely forgotten who I was. The staff made me feel at home. There were times throughout my 30 day stay that were more rough/ difficult than others but I couldn’t have made it through without their help. Through the ups and downs Christy my counselor stuck by my side and always had my best interest in mind. Jess has an infectious laugh, always knows how to lighten the mood and genuinely cares. Going on adventures out of the facility taught me it’s possible to have sober/ clean fun. During my time there we went to Santa Cruz boardwalk twice, played laser tag, golfing, movies, and hiking. Plus the endless store runs. Amanda was always fun to be around and easy to talk to. The staff made me feel loved and cared about- thank you Bright Future to a kick start on a new way of life. For anyone trying to decide where to go for treatment either for yourself or for a loved one I 100% recommend Bright Future! It felt like my family and I’ll be forever grateful for my time spent there.

This is by far my favorite detox/residential rehab I have ever been to. The staff is amazing especially the nurses. They are so easy to talk to and always willing to go above and beyond for you. Darlene is great at making sure you are getting the best care. You feel at home when you’re here. The chef is amazing always making sure we were fed and had delicious meals. Even the cleaning lady is amazing making sure to always say hello to new comers. I would recommend this place to anyone going through a hard time. I love it here
