“The first time I told my son’s story to Gernot, the visionary owner of CRTC, he told me, “I am blown away by how much your son wants to get well.” The traditional approach to rehab in the US was not working. Twice he had been through the 30-day revolving door between recovery and relapse. We decided to take a leap of faith into a different approach. CRTC is a beautiful accommodation in an upscale suburb. My son successfully completed their 4-month program. He credits his ongoing recovery to their wholistic and creative approach; their caring staff; the personalized attention; the homelike atmosphere; the physical distance from his old haunts; the trips into natural settings like beaches and forests; the routine; the classes, and the counseling sessions and meetings. Regular yoga classes and gym workouts also helped bring him back home to his body. He has experienced a profound transformation due to his experiences there. Gernot truly has a heart, passion, and a gift for recovery work. His center helped jump my son back into life by strengthening his journey to save his own life. They encouraged his promise, empowered him by holding him accountable, and cared for him when he was unable to care for himself. I will remain eternally grateful to Gernot and every staff member at CRTC for never giving up on my beloved son and for giving him a second chance at life.” - Cynthia S.

“I definitely recommend CRTC for recovery. They have a holistic addiction treatment approach; their methodology is a balanced mix of therapy, mental health education, occupational therapy and one on one counseling. You get to go out to the gym everyday – with a chaperone – and you get yoga class every other day on top of it. The food and beds are really good for a rehab center; and you get great Costa Rican coffee all mornings. They very emphatic about your condition, of course they’re gonna take out of your comfort zone, just not in a humiliating way. They are not miracle workers, but did provide me with the right tools to gain control over my life.” - Juan Gabriel S.

“I will start out by writing that the Costa Rica Treatment Center has saved my life…I was at rock bottom. Robert and Eric came and picked me up in Jaco, in very bad shape, and they persistently, lovingly, gently, firmly, medicinally, therapeutically, turned me back around, cared for me taught me, changed me…I lived here for one month, and just felt safe and secure. They slowly brought me back to good health. I have grown spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally, and can never repay what has been given to me. From Gernot and Maggie (owners of this beautiful home), Robert (administrator, jefe) full of life and play but very disciplined, Eric (assistant manager, wonderful strong, positive, caring energy), Arturo ( Yoga instructor, who gave me daily 5 am classes, with meditation, and a chef), Donia Sonya ( housekeeping), Sheila(psychotherapist), Diego and Marianna(psychologists), Diego (MD), and other persons, in Recovery, who will remain anonymous, who have given their time and advice, and lent an ear to me…I feel this is the best place for you, if you are struggling with an addiction that is out of your control. They just “know” here, how it feels, they understand, without judgement, and their goal is to help you manage your addiction, and move forward into a good life full of purpose, kindness and happiness…This home is beautiful, spacious, room for togetherness and privacy, serene, alcoves, patios, gardens, my room was so cozy, I was able to get much needed rest. I will continue to keep Costa Rica Treatment Center a part of my life, with much gratitude to all of you for returning me to the old, and new Allison…very, very thankful…” - Allison T.
