I went here from 2020-2023. They told me I could not take subs and methadone at the same time…. The VA thought differently. Now I’m taking a half stip of suboxone (2mg) a day, vice the 85mg of methadone. The methadone had me fat af… stomach hurt etc…. This place helps you, but I highly recommend Subs over Methadone. I feel 500 percent better. My stomach flattened and I got my life back!

Had an issue with a provider in Austin taking away a medicine I've been on for over a year and she wouldn't budge. Dr. Pierson helped me, provided an excellent level of care and showed compassion, something that is sometimes lacking in the VA Healthcare system.

A safe place to get yourself together when you fall. A place that helps those who are ready to help themselves. For me, it was a place of true salvation and I’ll never ever forget it and the people who were ready and willing to help me get through the mess I was in.
I have to say DePaul is a wonderful place. I have great respect for all the workers there. They are very caring and make the patient feel very special. I know all patients are different. But this is the best place in Waco. And the Dr's are amazing. I would give them 100 stars if I could . They are hard working people. Love to all of DePaul. Lupe and Joseph Pena.

Its rare to find a specialist that actually cares for there patients and aren't just in it for the money. ESA posted below because he is cute.

I had a really good experience. Still alive because of these people
I was a patient here twice the most recent being 3/2021-9/2021. I was sent because I ran out of options. I didn’t want to listen to anyone and I thought I knew what was best for me. I hated the idea of having to go. At first, I thought it was the worst place ever. Then I decided to open up and really work the program. It is a very therapeutic place. Yes there’s drama and there’s some issues with staff but as long as you do what you’re supposed to do it’s a great place to get help. I would recommend wcy to anyone parent dealing with a child who has behavioral or mental health issues. It was the best thing that could’ve happened to me.

I was admitted to WCY on January 3rd 2024 and left October 21st 2024. I spent 9 months there, meet a lot of people including Kairi Rockhill and Isabelle Steelman. There were ups and downs of the stay like the staff, the food, the therapy skills, and the activities. There are some things that they're good, some stuff not so much. Overall I fell my stay was good, but if you want to stay mentally stable I wouldn't recommend you going. I will also not be going back.

I had the privilege of visiting "The Ranch" and meeting the staff. I was very impressed with the attention and respect they gave me. The location is beautiful and very relaxing.
My parents checked me in BRC in 2015. Don Radon, Jon Waters. They helped me so much. Addiction is a deadly disease, and a lot of my peers from my stay at BRC are dead. BRC saved my life. I will forever be indebted to them. I'm grateful for them. I'm sure no staff at BRC is still there from when I was there in 2015, but I do know they saved my life. Thank again!

I just did the 33 day program here and the staff was phenomenal! The therapists and case managers were on top of everything and made my recovery process so much easier. They were there for me from beginning to end. The nursing staff was on top of my meds and I never had any issues. Thank you Virtue for helping me grow and become the woman I am today. I couldn’t have done it without you! I have learned so much about myself and the disease I have to live with. You’ve given me the tools I need to help keep the disease at bay. Although it was hard for me to be away from my family, I would do it again because I am stronger now. The facility was nice and the food was amazing! Anything that I couldn’t eat because of diet, they always had something I could eat and made it for me! I’m gonna miss y’all but thank you again for helping my recovery and helping me leave a better and healthier person! Love y’all!!

Virtue Recovery saved my life. From Gina, to Naomi, and nurse Barbara, the staff was amazing. The groups were informative and life changing. I recommend Virtue to anyone who is serious about their Recovery.
We drive here from BCS for my husbands care. Going to the “VA clinic” is about as fun as sitting on hold for an hour. However, I’ve found that every employee I’ve passed or observed is not only kind, but enthusiastic to help. (Specifically the two ladies at Desk 2C)
They are both kind, and eager to assist every time I hear them speak to someone.
This place is clean, seems pretty organized, and from what I can tell the patients and their families are in great hands!
kind of scary at first.once I leveled up it was like any other hospital. The staff was very compassionate to the patient's needs. it was very sanitized and the food in the cafeteria was delicious.there is a big day room for groups,see t.v. and outside fresh air break, the therapist help navigate your aftercare with safety in mind and the BHT really did great holding there patience in times of chaos.kudos that.i would like to say everyone there did a wonderful job and I appreciate them, this is a non-smoking facility, open 24/7, with at least 4 areas or more for patients,it definitely was not crowded,, special shout out to my BHT Ms. Lisa and my therapist Ms.Barbra .. thank you so much

This place got some memories fr. I feel like God touches ppl fr here. When I got here I thought everything was over, until I got here, and just after 20 mins, I met someone who gave me life again. And then I started to realize a bunch. Each and every kid in the unit was broken in some sort of way, and I felt like God was touching them in some sort of way. Keep out your head Little homie, cuz das a scary place to get lost in. I would like to thank Mrs.Tyson for never being scared to give us the truth, and going out her way to meet the kids needs. Thanks, and love to Mrs.Tyson, Mrs.Jessica, and Mrs.Gloria. I have some really good memories in this place. Your story is never over, never give up, because you answer to all you questions may be answered next week. The thing abt life is that, u never know, opportunities come and go. It's up to YOU to make your life what u want it to be. The future is what you make it. Make today better than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today. To live your life properly, you have to evolve your mindset, and make it a mindset of your being. Thanks to this moment in Cedar, I'vd overcome a lot of struggles, mainly the ones with my parents, I got rid of that crazy step mom, and i'm actually able to talk to my dad now. My music career is stepping up majorly. And i'm finally clean, and I;m on a record. Been clean since May. Got in here in March, so I get it if it takes time, I was there too. my feelings so lost and I was so confused with them, I was kicked out, or I just ran away. I was in random ppl's houses. I been there. But it does get better, but always remember, ppl can't help or change you if you don't let them in, and let them help you.

Sending our son to Resolution Ranch was really hard, but it was absolutely the right decision.We were struggling, and he was struggling.He finally found the support and understanding he needed.The therapists and staff truly cared about him as an individual.We saw him grow in confidence and self-awareness during his time there.It wasn't easy, but Resolution Ranch gave him and our family a second chance.We are forever grateful. A special thank you to Scott for creating a special place.

As a former student at Resolution Ranch Academy I honestly can't say enough good things about this place, I was sent here early December 2023 by my parents to be given a chance to turn my life around/to abandon the negative lifestyle that I was living. Before attending the ranch I was on a daily basis using drugs, skipping school, and disregarding authority all together. I won't lie and say this place was easy or that all my problems in life are gone because of my time at the ranch, but I will say if you are truly able to help your kid understand that change needs to happen and that the way he is living currently isn't working and that this place isn't a punishment, you can expect positive change. The staff there do truly care and want to see the best for you many of whom I still keep in contact with after graduating recently January of this year. The therapists there are also really empathetic most especially the one who I was assigned with, Mr. Clayton. He would consistently go out of his way to check in with his other students not because he was required to but because he cared, I can remember the countless times where it would be hours past his shift and he would still be there talking and processing with me to help me deal with my emotions and problems that I was struggling with. Thanks to the ranch I was able to excel at school and was able to turn my thoughts of wanting to dropout into now pursuing my education even further. The teachers there are super supportive and are willing to help you any chance they can and because of this I was able to go into the ranch mid way through my sophomore year of high school and come out a year later a high school graduate. As I mentioned before, yes this place can be difficult however anything worth doing WILL take time and on top of that your effort into whatever it is you are working on. If you choose to go in with a bad mindset chances are not much will change, but if you truly dedicate yourself to change I can promise you that you will be rewarded for your hard work. Lastly, I'd like to thank the ranch once again for all that they have done and the opportunities that they provided for me to be able to succeed in life in a way that I was unsure on how to do before.

Sending our son to Resolution Ranch was a tough decision, but it ended up being the best one we could have made. Struggling with behavioral issues, we felt lost. Resolution Ranch's compassionate staff provided exceptional, individualized care including excellent therapy.The therapists are skilled, family therapy was invaluable, the teachers are invested and the supportive community fostered growth in our son. Our child returned home transformed, with improved self-awareness and coping skills. Even typing this out gives me great joy to see how much better he has been.Needless to say we're deeply grateful and highly recommend Resolution Ranch Academy!!!
This treatment center was a blessing to me.. I love the staff they were very understanding!! They understood the assignment!! If you want to get sober and stay this is the place to go!! The techs were awesome as well I would recommend this treatment center to anyone!! Keep up the good work CFTH..

I really enjoyed my stay at Christian farms. I was there for 35 days. I’m now almost 5 months sober and counting. They are a little strict but I do see why. Their policies are in place for a reason and it worked! Very grateful. I do think the clients should be able to sit in the sun. It releases endorphins naturally and was a form of mediation for me and they took that from us. The dcs are great. And Ms. Linda… thank you for helping me get in there. Highly recommend.

I was a client back in 2015 at Christian Farms. My experience there was life changing and life transforming. I've used methaphine hardcore for 18 years. I've found the staff to be friendly but firm. The consular I had the feeling that they geniually cared, and it was more then just a job to them they really wanted to help. The environment there was clean, friendly, firm, not strict, & extremely fair. I found Christian farms to be so pleasent and informative to me that I requested to stay an additional 30 days from my original release date. If you really want help & are serious about getting help with your addiction I highly recommend Christian Farms. Today I can say I've been clean for over a year & a half due to largely impart of Christian Farms.
I STILL STAND BY THIS STATEMENT - The grammar errors. Coming up 8years in Nov.

I spent six weeks at this facility, and I can honestly say it was one of the most important and helpful experiences I’ve ever had for my mental health. From the very first day, I felt welcomed and supported. The environment itself is comfortable and structured. There are FREE snacks available, calm spaces, and a sense of safety that allows you to focus on healing.
The program is thoughtfully designed. There are group mental health classes and process group that give you practical tools and techniques to deal with trauma and everyday struggles. On top of that, you get individual weekly individual therapy sessions and weekly meetings with a psychiatrist, so your care feels very personalized. The group therapies were especially meaningful for me — they don’t just teach coping skills, they also help patients support one another, creating a space where you don’t feel alone in your journey.
What made the biggest difference for me were the people. Ms. Serenity and Ms. Kamiya are incredible therapists who bring warmth, patience, and real insight into every session. Nurse Amy is kind and attentive, always making sure patients are cared for. If you need laughter and giggle therapy, she is the one for it!
Therapist Mark from San Antonio added a perspective and level of support that I’ll carry with me long after leaving. Each of them played a role in helping me feel understood and encouraged to grow. Also, Jesse from the STS program in San Antonio was very helpful in taking our minds off everything (wish that could happen more). And although I didn't get much time with her, Ms. Vanessa from San Antio was also very kind and professional.
This program is especially valuable for active duty military members, who make up most of the patient community. Having others around me who understood the unique challenges that come with military life made the experience even more impactful. There’s a strong sense of connection and understanding that you just don’t find everywhere.
One additional thought I had during my time here is how much music therapy and art therapy classes could further benefit this group. Many patients come from high-stress backgrounds where words don’t always feel like enough to process deep emotions. Creative outlets like music and art would provide new ways to express feelings, release tension, and build confidence. They could also encourage teamwork and bonding in ways that complement the existing therapies, giving patients even more tools to heal and grow.
After six weeks, I left Laurel Ridge with new tools, stronger confidence, Lower Anxiety, and a deeper sense of hope. I would absolutely recommend this facility to anyone looking for real healing, structure, and support. The staff and program truly go above and beyond to help you break out of trauma bubbles and move forward.
