Golden Gate Holistics

A fancy degree in addiction doesn’t matter. This program is ran by real local men who have recovered from our hopeless condition. The clients can relate to them. The men here want to be sober. I’ve been to 10 programs and this is by far the best. I do not recommend for anyone over age 50. Most are in their 20s and 30s.

I am truly super impressed with the way they care for their patients and how far they are willing to go to help them. Their dedication goes above and beyond expectations. It has been amazing to witness the transformation in the lives they work with, and I’m deeply grateful for the impact they make every day.

The young buck owners "A"and "Q" talk a good line. It's a money grab. "A" has an AA degree in psychology and a certification in LGBTQ studies! Although the GG website stated they took our Blue Shield Insurance, GG refused. The Blue Shield rep stated GG was an in-network provider. Apparently GG would not be reimbursed as much money using the insurance. We had to pay cash for an outpatient program and SLE housing directly to what appeared to be a personal banking account via Zelle, not a business acct. Very odd. Our loved one had a vicious Kratom addiction, we were assured that the RANDOM cheaper urine testing would detect Kratom use, it DID NOT. We were informed by our loved one later that the testing was done at predictable times, and was NOT random. A way to beat the testing. More sophisticated expensive Kratom testing is required for detection. Ironically he ended up having to go to a costly detox facility for ALCOHOL use while at GG, then was "allowed" back into GG. Still using Kratom the WHOLE TIME during his entire GG stay. Isn't that rich? Ultimately it's a convenient costly revolving door situation extending time/money in the the GG program. AFTER GG our loved one excelled in a highly regarded closely monitored rehab program that uses the PROPER Kratom drug testing. Our recommendation: seek a program elsewhere with integrity, talk w other families, ask alot of questions and don't drain your hard earned financial resources. Or waste your precious beloved one's time.

Of all the facilities I’m aware of, Golden Gate has been the most effective in helping guys to really stay sober and make real changes. They’re uniquely structured for guys who really need accountability, structure and community. Highly recommend.

GGR led a foundation for my new path in life. The staff is incredible and caring. I never thought I’d be able to reach 7 months and counting of continuous sobriety and I owe it to GGR for the success I’ve had. Not only is their residential program phenomenal, they set me up with after care which has been a blessing. Anyone looking to finally overcome the challenges of starting their new life, I’d recommend GGR to them.
