I had an incredibly healing experience at Harmony Grove and grew in way I didn't know I could! I had the support I needed to meet myself, learn to eat without fear again, build a support network, and comprehend what it means to "let go…" Not to mention, it is in San Diego and at an affordable cost! I would highly recommend Harmony Grove to anyone considering additional support in their relationship surrounding food, body, and self. I feel very blessed to have found and gone to Harmony Grove!

Harmony Grove saved my life! Recovering from an eating disorder is very complicated and has many layers. After searching for the appropriate care on and off for two years, I was in a hopeless place, afraid I may never overcome my eating disorder or the mental health problems attached. Harmony Grove exceeded my expectations and helped me uncover the many reasons I rely on an eating disorder. The nature of this disease is highly complex and Harmony Grove has the expertise to deal with it effectively while providing a safe, caring, supportive and enjoyable atmosphere. Recovery is ugly at best but I left Harmony Grove with fond memories in addition to a recovery plan I will be grateful for, for life.

I am so thankful that I chose Harmony Grove for my eating disorder. Not only is Harmony Grove extremely affordable, but it's a warm, comfortable environment. Beginning the process of recovery from an eating disorder can be difficult. Harmony Grove welcomed me with acceptance and because I felt so supported I was able to let go and be open to the recovery process. I never felt pressure, judgement, or criticism from any of the staff or fellow residents. Everyone was willing to talk and help me through the most difficult time of my life. Because of Harmony Grove I stopped my eating disorder behaviors and have been bulimia free for six years now. I have made some life long friends from Harmony Grove, but most importantly have learned I manage my eating disorder and to love myself again. I recommend Harmony Grove to anyone who is wanting to begin the process of recovery in an intimate, supportive environment. Harmony Grove changed my life and I can't thank them enough for what they've done for me.

The other reviews listed here are for Bay Recovery, NOT for Harmony Grove. I am not sure how they got on here except that they are in the same building, but Harmony Grove is not affiliated with them. They are a drug and alcohol program and Harmony Grove treats eating disorders. Harmony Grove is a great program and has never had any legal or ethical issues. Thanks.

The program at Bay Recovery was intense. It required me to be weaned off these narcotics which were replaced by other drugs to support the withdraw process. I entered this program very optimistic since I learned my body was addicted to the previous medication mimicking and accelerating the pain. I was experiencing signs of depression and fatigue. The program at Bay was a success and I completed the initial detoxification phase in only two weeks. It’s important to know that because of this program I feel more alive and in control of my life.

Dr. Rand helped me with my pain that I had from a colon cancer surgery, and when I came in complaining of no energy and it was detected that I had cancer again. I lived a life of stress and worry before I met Dr. Rand. He helped me more than this short note delivers and I no longer take any non-natural medication. I am pain free, cancer free and really living for the first time in my 45 years. I am in the near future going to be giving talks about my experiences and that living a life free from fear can cure All your ill's.I love you all at Bay Recovery, keep up the fantastic service that you provide to the hurting people in San Diego. Your patience with patient's is impeccable. Without your caring ways many of these people, like myself, would have died before we really understood what it means to Really Live! The first person I spoke to was a young lady who I now think moved to Arizona. I told her over the telephone that I was in pain, had no doctor and could they help me. I almost started to cry when she told me yes, she thought Dr. Rand could help me. She did not know that just before that telephone call I was extremely depressed, (a surgeon wanted to remove my rectum). She was my flicker at the end of the tunnel, at that particular moment in my life. Some people thought I was feigning illness because I did not look like I had chronic pain. But I did and this young lady validated me and she, unbenounced, was going to facilitate a transcendence in one mans life. From that moment forward my life has improved to the point that I am now Happier than I have ever been.

I went to this place with the expectation of getting help with chronic pain. There was only one MD there, and it appeared that the prime qualification to be hired is a very recent history of various addictions. In fact, one Saturday I had a seizure caused by the wrong medications Dr Rand prescribed, but as he was always in Las Vegas feeding his gambling addiction on the weekends, I received no medical attention until a LPN was sent on Tuesday to check my blood pressure.

As an inpatient I lived in a small, filthy, smelly house. The food, also prepared by drug addicts, was not edible and I ended up cooking for the other patients. Instead of educating us about dealing with pain or how to overcome addictions, a staff member would read us a page of an AA magazine, and that was our "self-evaluation" for the day. Needless to say, we went shopping, to movies, and mostly out to find food we could eat.

Dr. Rand's medical license has been suspended more than once for his own substance abuse, and after gaining a glimpse of a supply closet at the "clinic" I saw enough drugs to keep a gang of druggies blissfully happy for a whole week. In fact, I never received the full quantity of and injectable drug (non-narcotic) intended to help prevent pain. Although I paid a good $400 for the bottle, I was given only four tiny shots. And we thought the "racket ball" tournament he had attended the following weekend accounted for his restful appearance.

An otherwise healthy young 17-year-old boy died a month after I left of an overdose. The staff had left him all his three-times-a-day medications for the weekend so they could join the boss in Vegas. The boy was just being efficient and took them all at once.

In summary, stay away from Jerry Neil Rand, Bay Recovery, Dr. John Sack and any of their associates as far as you can. If you do decide to try him, make sure he does not force you to sign a "no sue" contract as I did.

And bring your own needles.
