It’s a play on words, but finding a safe place where you can find calm waters to avoid relapse and work on your mind and body fitness is what Safe Harbor in Costa Mesa is all about. In having worked with the owner Velvet Mangan now for over ten years, I find myself as an educational and therapeutic consultant learning more about recovery from addiction for women on every tour. Recovery from addiction is never easy, and women suffer often from co-dependent relationships which only complicates their sobriety. However, as a professional referent, I have found that the ability to ‘work a program’ with other women who face similar challenges provides my clients a safe and secure option with multiple opportunities to engage in rehearsing coping skills necessary for these young ladies to survive in the ‘real world’.
