Mountain Vista Farm

If you are reading this review, your head is probably spinning. Either you or someone you love is struggling with addiction. First, «go to a meeting». If at first you don’t succeed, try try again and keep trying. Keep going to meetings and then go to some more. After you’ve been to a dozen or so, you’ll understand why that monotonous phrase is repeated over and over again. Don’t give up. You’re reading this because the house is shaking and starting to crumble and you’re thinking OMG what do I do?! When the house falls down, Mountain Vista offers the tools to rebuild it. A few have some basic skills to lay the foundation, while others have none. That foundation work is important and it takes time and some mistakes along the way. Once you have your foundation down, it gets easier. The project isn’t as daunting anymore. When you finally install the windows you are no longer afraid of the glass shattering, you start to see the sun reflecting off them and inside the house it’s warm and happy. Sometimes the power goes out and the house gets cold again, but the foundation is there and you can warm the house using the tools you receive at Mountain Vista. As the old cliché’ goes, Rome wasn’t built in a day. And, addiction didn’t happen overnight. Remember to be kind. Other people share your experiences and they care. Mountain Vista is a 5 star program when you open your heart and you’re ready for change.

Makes me laugh that the only reviews r success stories. I was there 4 years ago. u are allowed to smoke (bc they wouldn’t get clientele if not) but ur not allowed to have a single cup of coffee. The two people that were elected as the «leaders» while I was there both ended up using within a week of being released. It’s a joke. If someone wants to quit… they will… MVF isn’t going to do it for u. I don’t know a single person who I was there w that quit. However… Ronnie was the closest thing to someone who could ever make me quit. She was hard on me. but she got me.

My father recently stayed at Mountain Vista Farm for the 28 day program. Not only did he have a good experience but I had a great experience every time I went to visit him there. The staff was helpful and his counselor was amazing and made an uncomfortable and emotional experience easier for me, my sister and my father. I would recommend this facility to anyone who needs help with alcohol or drug addiction. It’s in a beautiful location and everyone there was very caring and compassionate, yet firm. I hope my father never has to return to a 28 day detox live in facility, but if he did, I wouldn’t take him anywhere else.

I’m a former client of «The Farm», and I would recommend this treatment facility to anyone who is suffering from Drug and/​or Alcohol dependency.
I came to MVF addicted to alcohol, crack, speed, cocaine and pot. After a period of detox I began a life-​changing journey that continues to this day. I found the counselors and other staff to be extremely kind, caring, educated and supportive. Their patience with me and other disruptive & uncooperative clients was extraordinary. In the end, I believe these people saved my life!
Mt Vista Farm incorporates the entire family in their treatment process. My family participated in the lectures and counseling sessions, and consequently were able to support me (in a healthy way) after I left the facility.
Lastly, MVF is located in a beautiful, quiet valley away from the madness of city-​life, where I was able to find my truth, abandon many of my fears and start a journey of recovery from a seemingly hopeless state of despair and desperation.
Run, crawl or hitchhike to Mountain Vista Farm! It might just save your life.

I would NOT recommend this facility for the treatment of drug and alcohol abuse to anybody. Office and Admin. Staff were very nice on the phone, but the actual level of care for the patient and their extended family from the counselors was very poor, incompetent and uncaring, despite all of their claims in the literature and advertising claiming excellent patient care and the importance of the family and their participation in the overall recovery. This was not the case, and created a lot of undue stress. The communication among staff members was very poor-​nobody seemed to know what was going on. When confronted with the problems encountered, the staff became very rude and non-​communicative. I do not know how they got their accreditation, and I have reported to the various accrediting agencies including the State of California? It is important to remember that they are in business for profit and that is how they are motivated based on our experience — «Cash and Carry»…
