A Supportive Environment for Teens and Families

“A real gem amongst hundreds of rehab facilities offering nothing but false promises. They saved her life. The staff are amazing and caring. They are innovative and open to new avenues for addicts to take and experience for positive recovery. My daughter has been home for three months now and is still on track and doing very well.” - Parent of a Former Client

“This facility and staff are amazing! Everyone here is willing to help, judgment free. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for support with their mental health, or any other issues they may be having. Thank you Mindful BODYs ☺️” - Former Client

“Wow. What an amazing, fulfilling experience being at Mindful Body's. I have learned how to deeply appreciate what it is to be a human being, how to love myself better, how to be more grateful, and of course how to be more mindful. This was my first experience being in a recovery treatment program(hopefully my last) and I am so glad I found this place. The staff has been nothing short of amazing, from the first day, I felt welcomed, encouraged and empowered. Even on the days I was not there during the week, if something came up or if I needed to just vent, they were there to talk to. I feel like a different person walking out of this place. If you or someone you know has an addiction problem, or any other mental health problem, this is the place to be. I'm forever grateful.” - Former Client
