I'll be quite honest,I have lived with my mom for 29 years and I screwed up my life and ended up here. Playing my guitar journaling also smoking cigarettes is my outlet. I choose to leave because of those things, this place is tough but if you want to be treated like a kid again and stop smoking cigarettes this is the place for you. It's a cookie cutter place for SOME people but not all, the look of sadness comes to mind when I see guys there for over 4-5 months at the house. Imo this house m...

I left on my 4th day for 2 main reasons.. Basically the strict rules did not support my co-existing eating disorder, and the staff triggered my ptsd with their aggressive verbal behaviors towards the other residents during groups, as well as myself. This method of communication was not suited for me as a victim of abuse, I'm personally too traumatized for their aggressive tactics... would not recommend to severely traumatized people seeking recovery. The program itself is decent. We did diffe...

Attended Van Ness for a short duration, just a little over month. This is far short of their recommended 4-6 month stay, so I want to be clear on that. You will learn things about yourself useful to recovery. You WILL. While I won't be returning to the Van Ness house for further treatment, I will say that you will benefit from trying it. What you will learn about yourself is worth taking with you whatever you do afterward. Also, Buffy rules.

I just wanted to give thanks to all impatient rehabs that I have attended, Van Ness Recovery being one of them. I wanted to absolutely let Kathy know I appreciate the straight to the point dig into my ego and tell me the truth about myself. You were totally right and was one of the reasons I came back so I can fix myself. The staff here cares, and I am a better person because of it. I have 8 months clean and sober. Thank you for setting the platform that molded me into the woman I am today.

Kathy Watt is on my daily gratitude list and has been since December 23rd of 2016. I spent that Holiday season facing some very harsh truths about myself and am forever changed as a result. I learned surrender, fearlessness, honesty, and the importance of letting go of my shame through intense group sessions and individual counseling. It was so uncomfortable at first but with that discomfort came growth. There is so much about myself that Kathy Watt and her team helped me to see. The list is...

Well I was at the rehab about 3 years ago I learned many things about myself. Kathy watts is very strict in tough but she has a reason to be the only thing I don't like is how a lot of people slide under the radar and as being transgendered I noticed that some of the staff gay men are not very kind to girls like me . A a James and Robert but other than that had a great experience

I would not recommend the VNRH for most people. Kathy Watt is one tough cookie and an alumna of 25+ years. She does not sugar coat ANYTHING, PERIOD. She's extremely blunt and to the point. In my experience I left the house twice. The second time I left for good at approximately 83 days of continuous sobriety. The only people that seem less intimidating are Loyda, Jamie, and Ms. Watt's wife Nancy. Kathy and the staff deeply care about those who come through the doors of the house and truly wan...

I lost my mom and dad while I was in the house if not for my peers and Kathy W. & all the other staff members I would most likely accidentally killed my self I definitely would have drank I know it’s a hard program but if saved my life I love you all so much!!!
