We had a horrible experience with Seaside. Our son reported that the place was dirty and disorganized, and Seaside’s handling of financial matters was unfair, off-market and downright shameful. Unlike many other sober living facilities, Seaside demands payment of three months’ fees in advance (over $26,000), and their invoice states that their “policy” is to keep one month’s fees if the client leaves during the first month. The program did not work out for our son, so he left after 7 days. Seaside forced him to sign a release when he left even though he is a troubled kid and did not even read the release. They then claimed that they were entitled to keep the entire three months’ fees based on the release. It was only after weeks of requests and the exertion of some outside pressure that Seaside finally agreed to refund two months’ fees. They kept over $10,000 for a 7 day stay. Needless to say, you should think long and hard about doing business with these people.
