Our Success Stories

your recovery is our main priority
Rated 5 out of 5
- Tom K.
Life is so much better after recovery. I'm in better spirits. I can conquer almost anything on my own. And I couldn't be happier.
- Former Patient
Recovery is about the beginning of a new life and not about dwelling on what you might have done in the past. The counseling, along with the spiritual basis for the counseling is second to none!
- Bryan F.
The people cared about me and the people took me under their wing. They not only saved my life, but they saved my brothers and in a way my sons.
- Former Family Member of Patient
We found at Tranquil Shores people who were totally dedicated to treating and healing the whole person, physically, emotionally and spiritually. They replaced despair and brokenness with confidence and joy, shame with acceptance and grace.
- Ashley
I had this act going like I was this great student and daughter and I was absolutely dying inside. Luckily I was blessed with amazing parents that talked to Chad Johnson and they figured out a way to get me to Tranquil Shores.
- Zack L.
This place is incredible. I have never experienced such kindness, care, and loving professionalism. This goes for the staff, the therapists, and the medical team. The curriculum changes each week and is run by professionals who have the experience to know first hand what they speak of.
- Michael G.
Tranquil Shores helped save my life when I could not. Everything was top notch from the amenities to the therapists. They pride themselves on having a great client to therapist ratio which really helps.
- RMB
This treatment center was instrumental in helping a loved one get sober. Condos on the beach are clean and comfortable. The frequent individual counseling sessions, family education, and weekly meetings with the psychiatrist were so exceptional.
- Sam H.
Out of all the treatment programs I have participated in, Tranquil Shores goes above and beyond in all areas to help a client succeed on their recovery path. Clinically, the team does an excellent job at addressing each area of life where mental health and substance abuse are affected.
- Michelle V.
Tranquil Shores has a very innovative recovery program that addresses mind, body and spirit and I think works. I would definitely recommend Tranquil Shores to anyone that is looking for an effective treatment/recovery program for addiction.
