Learn MoreStories of Recovery
"When I arrived at MKL Rehab in March 2025, I had been through two other programs that never quite fit. The difference here was immediate — the staff treated me like a whole person, not just a diagnosis. Dr. Mensah adjusted my detox plan in real time, and the group sessions helped me understand triggers I had never examined. Eleven months sober now, and I finally recognize myself again."
"As a working mother in East Oakland, I needed a program that would meet me where I was. The intensive outpatient track at MKL Rehab let me keep my job and stay close to my children while getting genuinely transformative help. Susan Yamamoto challenged me to face generational patterns I had always avoided. I passed my one-year sobriety mark last month."
"I spent years self-medicating depression with alcohol before the dual diagnosis program at MKL connected the pieces. For the first time, my mental health and my substance use were treated together instead of separately. The psychiatric team and my therapist actually talked to each other — something that had never happened at previous facilities. That coordination saved my life."
