Review of Lucida Treatment Center

Lucida truly changed my life. Before I came to Luc...

Lucida truly changed my life. Before I came to Lucida for my mood disorder, I was hopeless. I was consistently going to therapy in my home town for years, but nothing seemed to help. I was lost and out of options. Through surrendering to this program, I have found a new sense of purpose to live and my hope has come back! I can now see a clearer future for myself when before Lucida, I saw nothing. The other women clients at Lucida are amazing and ranging from ages 18 years to mid 60's! Everyone is accepted in the group no matter how young or old. They say 50% of your recovery in treatment comes from the other clients, and it couldn't be more true. These women treated me like a sister and I will carry them with me as I go forth into my recovery. The work is not easy, at times I wanted to give up and go home. However, through the love and support of both the therapists, case managers, nurses, and housing technicians I found my will and strength. Fyi: although the website says your meals will be cooked by a professional chef, you are required to cook all three meals yourself. At first I thought I couldn't handle this task because of my depression, however it was a great skill that taught me to push through and take care of my self. Weekend trips to the beach, inside and outside meetings, movie nights, ping pong tournaments are all a part of the fun! Take a chance on your own life! Head to Lucida for the hpoe you need!
