I am beyond grateful for the remarkably positive and truly transformative experience I have had at Awakenings by the Sea! This women's only facility is located in a lovely vintage house, which feels like a comforting, supportive and welcoming home. I never once felt judgement or shame from any of the staff or other patients. I was terrified to enter treatment, but from the first day, my nerves were quickly put at easy by the kindness and knowledge of the staff supporting me, and sharing their own stories--setting my fears and shame aside so I could rest, heal and recover in a nurturing environment. The number of patients is small, so there is always individual attention. Though there are many activities we participate as a group, the programs are personalized to each person's specific needs. The counseling staff was so knowledgable, and could quickly pinpoint areas for me to work on to make my sobriety stick, the nursing staff was always available for kind support, and the front desk staff were always open to communicate and support with any needs that arise. Lunches and dinners always included a platter of fresh fruit and a full salad bar. The addition of creative art projects and yoga and beach walks with a trained instructor makes this place extra special. I quickly developed a loving group of beautiful, thoughtful friends here, a support group I know I will have for life as we move forth in sobriety. I really had no idea I could laugh so hard and so often while sober! The best part is that I am now leaving strong, confident, and totally sober, and with a huge toolbox of resources and support for maintaining my sobriety as I step back into my family life and professional career. If you are reading this review and considering Awakenings by the Sea for yourself or a loved one, please don't think twice!! This place is truly incredible. I don't think I could have found this level of healing and confidence anywhere else. Thank you, Awakenings!!!

I was living a miserable life; angry, lonely and afraid. I was trapped in a pit of darkness and despair. My drinking was beyond my control. I could see no way out. Awakenings by the Sea answered my cry for help. (Literally, at 1: o’clock in the morning!) Here, I was shown a different path; a new way of living, if I wanted it. If I was willing. The food is too good. I gained weight. The location is beautiful! Yes, it’s by the sea. The staff, each and every one; incredibly gifted and kind, are remarkable examples of “recovery is possible”. Today, I am grateful and happy. I have found a new way of living, free from alcohol. Thank you, Awakenings by the Sea.
Awakenings by the Sea was the best thing I could have ever done for myself ! Not only did they get me sober, but they gave me the tools to stay sober. The staff, the program and aftercare is amazing. I will always be grateful for my time there and I have made some of the best life long friends that I will always cherish
In 2008 all I wanted to was die. I trying to do that with alcohol and sleeping pills on a daily/nightly bases. I arrived at Awakenings by the Sea on 1/29/2008 by way of a ride from Mr. Arnold whom actually picked me up and Vancouver, Wa and brought me there. I couldn’t get a ride. I was greeted by a bunch of loving folks. That I immediately felt I could Trust. 2 weeks into my treatment I felt I needed more then a 28 day program, as you see I’d been living with the disease of alcoholism my whole life. Being the product of 2 alcoholics I believe I was born with this terminal disease. I went to the counselors and asked them to tell me when they felt I be ok to go. I was at Awakenings for 40 days. To shorten this story. I had the 12 Step program in me when I left. I continued with after care they offered and going to AA daily. I just celebrated 13 years of sobriety Thanks to my Higher Power & the staff and folks I met at Awakenings by the Sea. It’s a wonderful place to get your life back !!
I would recommend Awakenings to any woman looking to get sober. Kind and caring staff - clinical and non-clinical.
