Top Ranked Drug Rehab Centers In Bonners Ferry, ID

Our son has been struggling in a number of areas of life. Turning Winds has an amazing and caring staff who truly cares about these kids and teaching them the tools to course correct and be functional and contributing people in our families and communities. They have done wonders for our relationship with our son and we as parents have learned so much along the way as well. No matter what the circumstance and if this is something you're choosing to do OR if it's been chosen for you... Turning Winds is worth it!

Before our daughter came to Turning Winds, we were deeply worried for her well-being and unsure if she would even make it through high school. After two failed treatment attempts elsewhere, we felt hopeless and defeated. Turning Winds changed everything—not just for her, but for our entire family. The structured and stable environment gave our daughter the safety she needed to open up about traumatic experiences that had shaped her pain and behavior. That moment of vulnerability was the turning point that allowed true healing to begin. Through individual and group therapy, and the consistent support she received, our daughter began to thrive. She learned new coping mechanisms, gained confidence, and started to rebuild her life. At the same time, we as parents grew tremendously—learning how to communicate better, parent with empathy and authority, and repair our relationship with her. There is no doubt in our minds: without Turning Winds, our daughter would not have survived to see her 18th birthday. We are forever grateful.

I am writing this review to help to encourage any parents who are experiencing serious challenges/concerns with their son or daughter to give Turning Winds their full consideration. Like many of you who are exploring, we found an overwhelming amount of negativity out there surrounding programs like TW or others who may be similar. Fortunately we took the time to dive deeper, beyond the exaggerations, and both misleading and completely false narratives that have been created by individuals with some agenda that I cannot fathom. Instead we chose to weed through the garbage and looked at the positive reviews from the actual parents of kids that Turning Winds has helped. It was not a decision that we took lightly, nor one that we regret. It was the hardest decision we ever had to make, but one that has made all the difference for our son and family. As parents of a son was going down a very dark and destructive path, and one in which we were extremely concerned for our son's life; we can truly say that TW helped to save our son from a path that very likely would have ended up in death, serious legal consequences, or a broken family. It was scary as hell to put our trust in strangers and drop our son off in the middle of nowhere, thousands of miles from home. But now that he is back at home and doing so incredibly well, we can truly say it was the best decision either of us have ever made. We believe Turning Winds helped to save our son's life. For the kids, it's tough work. And it's hard work for you parents. It's not a summer camp or a country club like so many of the other options we had reviewed. Rules are made, kept, and consequences delivered. They are taught to be responsible to themselves, but also to those around them. They are also built up, learn to believe in themselves, and are given all of the tools to grow into young adulthood in a safe and caring way. Our son will be a healthier, better, stronger man for having this experience. We cannot say enough about the staff. They truly care. In many ways, they have become family and despite our son being back at home after many long months, there is regular communication and continued work...for our son and us, the parents. We dropped off a sixteen year old, whose behaviors and emotional condition were those of an 8 or 9 year old. Coming home, we felt we picked up a 16 year old who is far beyond his years from an emotional maturity standpoint and one who practices a healthy lifestyle physically, mentally, and spiritually. In addition, the support system that we now have as a family and/or as individuals is really impressive. The staff is there for us and there are parent groups that exist while your child is in Turning Winds and after they graduate from the program. We join calls bi-weekly with parents who are just beginning their journey and others whose child is 5+ years removed. All with the intent of helping each other to get through those difficult times, to provide helpful advice and support when you need it, all sharing the common connection of individuals who at some point almost lost hope that we had lost our child forever, but now have hope and promise for a great future. If you are at that crossroads and you just don't know what to do and what to believe, ask the TW staff if they can make a connection. We are more than happy to share our experience. We honestly don't know where we would be at this point had we not put our faith in the team at Turning Winds.
