Vista Pines Health

I was a client at Vista Pines 3 different times! 3rd times a charm;) Ironically many of us call Vista the Magical $h!t Show bc so many of us myself included come to there in desperate need of help & healing! We come to Vista w/our bags of metaphoric $h!t that we need to unpack! In the unpacking process there is a lot of Show aka acting out and breakdowns that take place before the healing can! But one of the things that makes Vista exceptional Aka Magical is the devotion of the employees including the: techs, therapists, group facilitators, nursing dept, catering team, even the admin team over the phone. The other thing & to me the most important thing that makes Vista so exceptional & Magical is the clients!!! I dont know if its the admin team or its a HP or both?! But the community bond is like none I experienced at any other rehab program anywhere! When we werent in groups we were basically either laughing or crying! Either way major healing was taking place! & on my last visit when my case manager told me my insurance company said I needed to go to PHP elsewhere; I cried like a baby bc I didnt want to leave such an awesome program!!! I know how hard it is to find decent programs let alone great programs of that caliber! If you are in need of healing I highly recommend Vista Pines! A few of my favs, I hope are still there when you go: Melissa, Brook, Berta, Alex, & Janine! I know I left out so many like frm the kitchen & nursing crew as well techs, even housekeeping & maintenance! I wish you the best on your journey One day at a time & Gps Kind Regards, Fer Jennifer

The staff might have some rules that don't match your interest, such a limited phone calls/one on one sessions with a therapist. I believe the most therapy happens within the group. You meet people and hear their stories. Some can relate to your story, some have better/worse lives/situations you're going through. Take advantage of the opportunities and the activities. Berta is my favorite. Her story touched my heart. The staff isn't trying to control your life or brainwash you they're literally trying to get you sober and get you to the next chapter in your life. Personally I've done drugs & alcohol since I was 14. It took me two tries. The first time I lasted 27 days and relapsed after coming home. Last year I went back and surrendered my will and now I've been sober since September 21, 2022. Thank you, Berta, Ms. P, Abraham, Brooke and Lexi, and Cat.

I had a good experience, the staff was good, and the people I met were amazing, I learned a lot from them. Had some ups and downs, hated it, loved it. But the people I met really made the difference!
