Tasty, nutritious food; experienced program staff; strongly encourage family involvement; good case managers; fun sober recreation activities; emphasis on mental and physical fitness; strong supportive structure for early recovery Communication among staff, changing policies (maybe due to rapid growth), lack of non-12-step group participation, restricted resident transportation capacity Sending my son here after he completed a 30-day inpatient program was worth every penny. The staff was very welcoming, and they consistently treated my son and I with respect. In fact, many of the staff members at Westport House today are part of his sober network. My son's case manager communicated with me regularly over the course of his stay. In the first phase of the program, all meals were provided by the house. He developed a strong relationship with his therapist who he has today. The program supported his involvement in AA, and they helped guide my family in being healthy supports to his recovery. The second phase allowed my son to show consistency in his new way of life and establish independence. He was able to resume his education, get a part-time job (which he now has full-time), and take control of his spending. With the help of Westport House, my son was able to find his true self and transform into the sober young man he is today, and for that I am eternally grateful.
My son went all the way through Turnbridge. We had tried some rehab options here at home. Nothing in St. Louis compares to this long-term program. A heroin addiction cannot be addressed properly in 120 days, or even a few months, as I learned the hard way, even if the addict has a desire to recover. Dumping him or her back into the same crappy environment in white-knuckle sobriety doesn\'t seem like a good answer. This long-term commitment paid off for our family. One of Turnbridge\'s real claims to excellence, in my view, is that the young people are immersed in positive, fun recreational activities almost immediately. The counseling and support personnel are fantastic, to be sure, and no rehab facility can succeed without them. But there\'s nothing like sending your hollowed-out child away, and then within a very short time seeing him replaced with a happy, hopeful young man who declares, \"I didn\'t know I could have so much fun and not be high.\" Of course, that was only the beginning of his recovery, but I think if he hadn\'t gotten this positive experience right off the bat, the success might not be there. It was a long haul after that. Getting a job, receiving a bachelor\'s degree -- those were just pipe dreams at one point when keeping him alive to fight another day was all I could hope for. The environment is crucial, and giving these youngsters a beautiful setting and meaningful experiences cannot be underestimated. Turnbridge isn\'t cheap, but my son has his life back. He just got married to a wonderful girl, who we all love, and is very happy. There isn\'t enough thanks in the world for me to properly express my gratitude to David Vieau and this wonderful organization.
