This place has such a good vibe & great fellowship. It really helped me out when I most needed it.
Pro’s: This is a special place. Go in and talk to the people that work at The Gooden Center. It is clear these people live recovery. Talk to them about what it takes to be successful with recovery. Talk to them about the alumni that stay involved.
Con’s: No hot tubs, no acupressure or Massage Treatment.
The Gooden center is one of the few places that focus on recovery for the alcoholic/addict. Placed in a safe environment in the beautiful city of Pasadena CA! I've met a number of men come out of their with a strong foundation, with the help of the alumni to guide them through the process with work in the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous, I highly recommended this place for anyone struggling with alcoholism and/or addiction
this place is a scam. “treatment” is not led by qualified therapists or counselors and involves infantilizing activities like watching youtube/netflix, making bracelets, and using oversimplified worksheets from free public domain websites rather than evidence-based therapies. you will not receive proper care if you go to the gooden center for mental health. however if you’re looking for a glorified summer camp, then maybe this is the right place for you. otherwise theyre just here to take your money, not teach you any skills, and try to fill your hours with 45 minute meditations on youtube
Decent in some respects but overall not a good place. john marzilli, if he is still there, is shaming and incompetent
