Of course you hate this place if you're not ready to change. Change comes with struggle change is complete. I've been clean going on four years after I graduated this place. Don't try to tell help how to help you if you're the one that needs help. Obviously something you was doing was not right. This place prepares you for the real world. The real world is not always pretty. HOM is a pillar in the community, the only place I know that will let you right in no matter your condition. Feed you, let you shower, gather some things for you to wear and provide a bed to sleep in. You create the program if all you see is flaws that's all you will find. If you want to get better you will get better.

I was there 6 months in 2013. Never been to jail so I had to learn a lot about all that. It was a tough place and its more about billing and tge funding they get from people on parole and probation. than any actual rehab. There is racism from black ownership. They did provide me a place to live for six months and feed me. I felt like I was being punished having to shack up with convicts, things get stolen daily. I learned some things about life why I was there and reality. I'm clean and sober today and being here was part of it. Ms. Dorothy's a pain in the *** and they claim there's a method to the madness, but its definitely more just madness w/o method. Having us stand in a line to UA for 45mins to an hour, messing around upstairs just having us wait to wait. Spend a lot of time "waiting" but like San Diego's CRASH program, this is a behavioural modification rehab, so repetitive tasks are drilled in .This isn't some traditional rehab. Never met such a nasty bunch of people, learned to put something on my chair to keep it. Learned to sit in a fold up chair for 3 hours at a time. But many ppl relapse and at least one guy I was in program with is dead from OD. If you're black you are treated better, they're racists, they can't deny that, but enabling what they see as "their own" only ****s them in the end. They said onlky such a small amount of ppl make it so that never left my head, even today. They taught me some self worth. If I hadn't gone there Is probably be dead right now, so they did something right but don't bring a lot of property here and your gonna deal with a lot of bad attitudes. I think I learned more from just living w everyone. No, there isn't a lot of one on one counseling and I did some 12 hour car washes w no chairs to sit on. But today I have to say HOM helped make me who I am today, which is sober. They just play rehab so yeah u gonna be just signing stuff. I didn't even know this aspect of San Diego existed. They had me do a résumé and they let me do job search after 4 months. But after 6 months it was time to leave, no outside housing for me. I guess you really got to ask yourself, us this place better than CRASH or not, ppl use way more at HOM so maybe it's not but at least at HOM I didn't have MONAD, mouth on non active duty, or sit 40 people in a room and on the floor packed up literally like sardines with my knees in someone's back and someone's knees in my back and not moving nor talking for long amounts of time.

I was there for 3 weeks and NEVER was lied to , talked down to ,Disrespected, mislead , stolen from , called names AND worse yet My PERSONAL property Destroyed by the hands of the staff with a Hammer no less, I was KIND to All the people there as it's my Nature but was called a loser an Idiot and a zombie. By these people. They did NOTHING to aid in my recovery. I left on my own free will and have yet to be given the simple Discharge paperwork I HAVE spoken to Cynthia Simpson, Mr Bryant, Ms Henrietta about as I need this Document to recover funds that were stolen from me by ANOTHER past resident and seem unable to get ANY help or assistance from The staff There !!! The experience STILL haunts me as I have to deal with them until I get some help!!!

If you love your family do not bring them to this sad excuse of a rehab. Its a day care center thats barely supervised and has horrible rude staff that doesnt help anyone. No such thing as councling here. Dirty staff infections. The staff doesnt run this place the people admitted in the program. Staff doesnt care here. Maybe they arent paid enough ...Embarrassment to san diego
