Drug Rehabilitation Programs | California Alcohol Rehab | Dual Diagnosis Treatment Center | Residential Alcohol Treatment | Addiction Recovery: "October 2006,
Dear Jim,
I can’t even begin to describe the gratitude I feel for what you have given to me for what Oasis has helped me find. Oasis showed me love when I could not love myself. I came in full of fear, resentment and completely empty. I had given myself three (3) choices: drink, die or seek help. I couldn’t imagine my life without drinking and death didn’t seem so scary but something inside of me wanted to get better. In a moment of truth, I asked for help. In my head, I had doubts that it would work. I wanted to run or drink – anything but face myself. I hated myself for who I’d become and the mess that I had gotten myself into. I was so disappointed and sad. That is when you and the Oasis began to love me and for that, I love you. I love every single one of the people whose path mine has crossed while I was there. The hope and love within each one of the counselors is profound and you have an amazing gift of spirituality and love. I will hold on to what I learned here in my heart forever. I walked away from the Oasis with more than I ever thought I could have. A relationship with my Higher Power, Love, Contentment, Spirituality, Friendship, Faith, Passion, and Gratitude. I feel like the Oasis will always be with me and from that comes great strength. Thank you for the amazing gift of a second chance, life and sobriety. And, of course, my spiritual tool belt! Tell Kathy “Thank You” too, she is an amazing, strong, lovely woman."

Dual Diagnosis | Oasis Treatment Center | Dual Diagnosis Program | Alcohol Dependency Treatment | Chemical Dependency Treatment Center: "Whether anxiety, depression, Bi Polar disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive disorder or other condition, we at Oasis believe that a total approach toward each individual provides the best opportunity for physical, emotional and spiritual recovery. Addressing only part of a problem means that a client leaves treatment with undressed issues, and relapse is more likely. For example, a person who completes 30 days and leaves treatment as a sober alcoholic but does not accept and address his depression is at high risk for relapse."
