Patient Testimonials

“After spending two months here I only have amazing experiences, healing, hope, gratitude, love, and a new beginning to take with me. The way you allow each person to have such an individual and healthy recovery is astonishing to me. I’m sure I can’t truly know all the sacrifices you have made to make this possible. I’ve been given time here to heal, learn, and be prepared to live the next journey of my life. I’m thankful for our meetings Dr. Hanna. I will take with me when you told me that you were proud of me. Also, when you said you like me as a person. I’ll be practicing clear boundaries with others.

Take care and I’m so glad you two are a team.”

“It is sometimes difficult to take a hard look at yourself in relation to what’s troubling you, and come to the realization that you are your own worst enemy. I am extremely grateful to all at Reflections for their caring insight, support and advice. This includes all members of the staff, as well as fellow residents. The experience is life changing.”

“Reflections is unlike any place I have ever been. I have been to other treatment centers, but nothing compares to the quality of the staff here. I walked through the doors broken, scared, and felt all alone. The therapist and counselors helped me dig deep and uncover core issues that had never been dealt with. I was able to start the healing process. I regained my self-confidence, drive, and life. As I start my new journey, I will remember all my tools I learned at Reflections. Remain open-minded, honest, set boundaries, go to meetings, work the 12-steps, call my sponsor, and be of service. Thank you again for helping me get my life back.”

“Most people are rushed to the hospital due to physical injury, however, I checked into Reflections on a spiritual stretcher. I came in with a broken life, and a shattered soul. I was greeted with kindness and understanding so pure and unlike any other place. As the people that surrounded me showed me the way to pick up the pieces that I thought were meant to be left on the floor. Be it a kind word, a vibrant smile, or even a well-placed saying! Slowly and steadily I started to heal, and it was a beautiful and difficult path. Everything started to come together and my soul became united once again. I left feeling ready to fly. So thank you all, you saved me in ways I can’t even explain.

Thank you for the gift of life.”

“Thank you all so very much. Your kindness, your support, and your love has meant the world to me. Each of you in your own way have given me hope, when I was so hopeless. I am such a different person that I was when I walked in, and for that I am truly grateful. Thank you for saving my life…even when I didn’t want to. Love to you all!”

“Thanks for all the support. This place became home for me. All the staff and clients helped me through the tough times. The advice given has changed my life. At times people upset me but I learned that is life. I will miss everyone so much and I can’t wait to come back and share my recovery with new residents.

Thanks for giving me a chance to get my life back. With great love.”

“Reflections turned out to be the perfect storm of environmental conditions, world class therapy, and individualized custom approaches that facilitated the personal transformation I so needed. As I immersed myself in the program, I could not help but believe I was part of a totally unique treatment model that stands alone in its field.

Every element of Reflections has been tailored to generate positive change. I came to treatment to get sober, and my expectations were eclipsed as I walked away feeling empowered and genuinely inspired. Reflections is the most innovative program that I have encountered, and I am honored to have had the privilege to benefit from their passionate team of experts.”

“Where to begin…this has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I never imagined that I would form such strong bonds with my fellow residents, as well as the staff. I cannot express my gratitude enough for being welcomed and make so comfortable here. My treatment made me take a very hard look at myself and I discovered things about myself that years of therapy didn’t uncover. My biggest success here is leaving knowing how much help I need form others to stay sober. Without that awareness, my odds would be very low. Thanks to you all for giving me the tools to go back into the world with a fighting chance.”

“I am extremely grateful for my experience at Reflections. I chose Reflections because I had been to a fine rehab before, but I needed a place not to just get sober but to have a psychic change. I found that at Reflections. Reflections let me keep my dignity while healing. Because they only have six people at a time I received a lot of personal attention from the very qualified staff, and the group experience was invaluable. All the staff is exceptional from the clinical staff to the housekeeper. They are all so compassionate and accommodating. I felt they all genuinely were invested in my well being and sobriety, and continue so upon my reentry into my real world with all it’s triggers. The accommodations are akin to a five star resort. I can not say enough about the chef Brenda. She is awesome and cooks with love. I also especially enjoyed Adventure Bob” who took us on outings in beautiful Marin County.

It was a truly healing experience for me.”

“As someone who has experienced several treatment facilities, Reflections is unique in many ways. While the private room, food, and attentive and caring staff provide for a special experiences, it is the power of a small group of individuals with a common goal who are willing to share their hopes and fears that I will most memorable. Coming to Reflections is of course about sobriety, but it is also learning how to find one’s place in the world and facing the challenges that hold us back in this endeavor…A unique and rewarding experience. Thanks for everything.”

“My time at Reflections was a bittersweet experience. Bitter in that of course I was going through one of the worse times of my life and sweet in that I ended up having one of the most positively wonderful experiences of my life as well. I never thought I would miss a residential program but I do. Reflections was my first and I’m very hopeful my last. They truly want to see you succeed and will do everything in their power to help you and that is the truth. As well as their amazing staff the house is beautiful and with a small occupancy they are better equipped to meet your needs from special workouts, massages, shopping really just about anything.”

“I am truly grateful for my time at Reflections. The staff and family became a second family to me. I don’t think I could have gone to a better program. You guys are seriously the BEST! I love it here and I honestly do not want to leave. You will definitely be seeing me again.. as a visitor that is! Again I am grateful for the tools and knowledge that you all have given me.”

S. T.

“I am eternally grateful for Reflections, and incredibly lucky to have found it. There are many reasons, but the biggest one is this: everyone here = the staff and my fellow clients – have helped me find a sense of self-worth that I’ve never really had, even prior to my use. I leave here holding my head high thanks to all of you. When I first called to inquire, and Will chatted with me for quite a while, I knew I’d found the right place to get healthy.”

“I am very appreciative of the support and fellowship I enjoyed during my tenure at Reflections. The summer of the 13th year of the 3rd millennium had been very difficult for me. My hope is that my time here will mark a watershed in my life. The staff provided excellent support and guidance throughout my stay and the overall approach toward recovery was wonderful from my perspective. I hope to remain in contact, primarily socially, with the team and my fellow residents. Such is the level of my praise for your program and the people involved.”

“What I liked about Reflections was the ratio of staff to residents. You won’t find this ratio anywhere else which makes the attention each resident receives different than any other treatment facility. I had been to St. Helena two years prior and left after two weeks because they lacked the 1:1 attention I was looking for. The dual diagnosis approach is an added benefit for anyone with a substance abuse problem and for me I found this to be a huge advantage. Different than other facilities, in this intimate setting you will build relationships quickly with other residents.”
