Review from Rehabs.com

When I entered VRC almost 15 months ago, I had no idea what I was getting into. I had just left another treatment center and found the solution provided there completely ineffective. What VRC has offered me is a complete rebirth and a new outlook on life. I can walk with confidence among others, and I have begun to rewrite my wretched past thanks to the staff, therapists, and sponsors that I have been introduced to. Without the love and support of VRC, I surely would not be walking this Earth or writing this review right now. I cannot thank them enough for saving my life.

Strengths: Compassionate people; great program for my son, where other treatment facilities didn't work; individualized medical detox; a full service inpatient drug rehab offering all levels of care; individualized treatment plan for my son and an understanding medical staff, including therapists and case workers. Weaknesses: Can't think of any. My son had been in 7 different rehabs over the course of 8 years. So far he is 10 months clean. My son told me that he does not have the desire to use heroin anymore, and I thank the caring staff and director for this. Without VRC, I don't know where my son would be in this world.

Very caring and involved with patient and family. Their actions speak volumes about their committment to serving both the needs of the patient and the needs of the family. I have no area of complaint with Ventura. Outstanding facility. Ventura and its attentive staff have gone above and beyond to create a caring and successful environment for addiction recovery. They work one on one with patients and their families to establish a wholistic approach for recovery. They are located in a very safe and nurturing area of California, with opportunities for the clients to have sober and positive involvement with the surrounding community. Very thankful for their commitment to helping their clients find successful and sober living.
