The best decision I have made for treatment! I have tried facilities all over the country, (22) to be exact and struggled for years. I am experiencing the benefits of Defining Wellness and could not be happier. If you or a loved one needs a miracle I strongly recommend this place. The owners, counselors, medical staff and people who work here are great and so caring. The approach is cutting edge. The therapy, physical fitness options, wellness lab and non shame based recovery is exactly what I needed. The campus and facility is beautiful, comfortable and peaceful. I had a great experience and would send a family member in a second if needed. Wonderful place!
This place saved my life! It’s beautiful location and therapeutic atmosphere is magical and the staff there is so special. They make you feel loved and deeply care about every person there. I felt like I was on vacation while I was healing and learning so much about myself. They allow you to be human and not feel like you are a patient and that speaks volumes. I would recommend it for anyone struggling. Thank you so much DW family.
I would like to share as a parent who had a family member in treatment at Defining Wellness. My son was very well cared for here and I highly recommend this facility. Addiction affects the entire family, and, thanks to the amazing staff at DW, we also began to heal as a family. I am impressed with every aspect of this program. Victoria and Jenna will always be remembered with such gratitude for their excellence at every turn. This is the best experience my family has had with a treatment facility of this type. Forever grateful.
I have been to many different treatment centers over the many years of my journey to recovery. Defining Wellness is, by far, the most phenomenal one in regards to their programming, staff, amenities and aftercare. Each person is truly treated on an individual basis, with respect and the opportunity to participate in their own treatment plan. They provide a beautiful, safe and serene environment to explore traditional AA/12 steps, holistic, medicinal, physical and spiritual recovery tools and techniques. To say this place was a blessing for me is a major understatement. They saved my life, and I am so grateful and honored to be a DW alumni. I would 110% recommend Defining Wellness to any person struggling with addiction.
