Visions has set the standard in adolescent treatment over the past decade. They have also been so open and kind when other programs reach out for input on how to get better. This program is amazing.
I spent almost 14 years working side-by-side with Visions team of uncompromising individuals. The clinical services are superior to all other centers I have worked with. More importantly the culture of connection, acceptance and support are for the clients, parents and staff.
Dear Chris,
I’m sorry that this thank you has taken me so long to write, however; it has been difficult for me to find the right words of appreciation. I truly feel that God lead us to you so that you could save Victoria. You reasoned with us and forgave us more times than you should have and more than anyone else would have. We are slow learners and you are a patient man. Thank you for guiding us the way you did. Victoria gained a lot of insight from your program regarding her addiction and her OCD. Then with your infinite wisdom you knew it was time for us to take a new approach to help her. I never thought a wilderness program would be right for her and was devastated at the thought of sending her. I knew after speaking with you that it was the right thing to do.
A few months ago, my husband and I realized that our older child E. was in trouble regarding her mental health. They were profoundly depressed, extremely anxious, and had begun abusing alcohol in order to medicate these difficult conditions.
We contacted Visions Teen Residential Treatment and were greeted warmly, despite it being 11:00PM at night. The gentleman that took our call, John, was completely responsive to the panic and worry we were experiencing, and helped us navigate a thorough assessment on the spot!
Visions saves so many lives, just like mine. All the staff provides so much support. The clinical team is so amazing and really gets down to the core of the issues and gives you the tools you need to better yourself. I came into visions a complete mess and now I am 2 years sober, doing things I would never imagine I would be doing and it’s all thanks to visions they showed me the way and helped me make a clear path in life. Visions also does great family therapy and really involves your family in your recovery. Me and my families relationship is better than ever thanks to all the therapy we got as a whole at visions! I seriously recommend this place to anyone who is struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues, I assure you visions will help you more than you’d ever think.
Our daughter is now four years out from her time at Visions in-patient treatment at the Mental Health House in Malibu. With immense gratitude and confidence I can say that Visions saved her life and changed our families trajectory. We are from Texas and were referred to Visions after our daughters stabilization at The Menninger Clinic in Houston. Looking back it still feels tender and very scary when I consider what led us to Visions. But without a doubt the process was as seamless, supportive, and filled with kindnesses as possible. Leaving our hurting and shattered child in the care of people we had only briefly met was not easy in any aspect. However, from our first phone call to drop off, John Lieberman was the epitome of professionalism.
The parent support group at Visions has been incredibly helpful and meaningful as my daughter has been in treatment. Visions supports not just the child in treatment but the whole family and continues the support even after the child leaves the treatment center. Amanda at visions is very resourceful, kind and available. And Amy H the therapist who moderates the parent support is a compassionate and understanding person who provides so much support for parents dealing with kids in various stages of recovery and sobriety. Visions is full of caring and supportive people.
Visions saved my life. Great place to learn everything you need to know to beat addiction. Staff love the kids and the owner is the most stand up guy I know.
Visions Teen is a sanctuary of healing, where the seamless integration of compassionate care, therapeutic expertise, and nurturing environments creates a transformative experience for adolescents and their families. As professionals who have collaborated closely with Visions Teen, we’ve witnessed firsthand the remarkable synergy between their exceptional clinical team and the serene ambiance of their facility.
I was at Visions for over 100 days in 2022. While it carried challenges, as all programs and facilities do, I truly felt home there. Visions helped me beyond belief, and the staff (from therapists to techs to powers-that-be and more) were a crucial part in how I got to where I am now. I am endlessly thankful for Visions and everything they do.
