Parent Reviews

Heather Saum Parent

Life changing. Best decision I ever made for my child. The team is so caring and easy to get ahold of. Any questions or concerns are handled immediately.

The whole family was cared for. We are all better for it. I came to their door with no hope left. Now the family has changed for the better. My child has the chance now at a good life. I can smile again. 

Rocky R Parent

My daughter has been at Turning Winds for 10 months. Prior to being at Turning Winds, she had one suicide attempt and a few years of engaging in self-harm. The excellent staff at Turning Winds taught her healthy coping skills for her depression and anxiety, but more importantly, they helped her practice those skills over and over in a safe and supportive environment.

My daughter has healed within the family-like atmosphere of Turning Winds and its beautiful, natural setting. With all the support she’s received, she’s grown more confident and is emerging into the best version of herself.

Highlights of Turning Winds that make it stand out among other treatment centers I looked at: leadership who gently guide parents through the daunting and scary process of having their teens in treatment; staff who genuinely care and go above and beyond to make the kids feel special; therapists who really get teens, can communicate with them effectively and train the parents how to as well; and the natural setting which really puts the nervous system at ease and ready for healing.

Erik Cantwell Parent

Since my son has been home he has been doing amazing. I was really worried because once COVID hit I was not sure what he would do with all his free time...thankfully he spent his time applying for jobs and researching colleges.

Thank you Turning Winds! I love the staff and how much they all care about our family. 

Daniel Smith-Dino Parent

This place saved our daughter's life- literally. It was truly an excellent experience all around. She went through the entire year long program and is now a college graduate with a professional career and 100% emotionally healthy living her best life.

    How long is the program?

It is common for teens to transition to the home earlier while some teens will need longer support before going back home.

    What is the cost of Turning Winds

    To understand the financial commitment for our programs, please contact an admissions counselor or family advisor today to discuss payment options.

    How likely is it that my child will change?

    The probability your child will change is significant. Our environment is optimal for a struggling teen to have a high chance for success.

    Our Turning Winds team is well-trained and experienced in dealing with adolescents that struggle with substance abuse, mental health issues, and family problems.

    While it is ultimately up to the child to decide to change, our program does provide a significant pull through our strong peer culture, and experienced staff excels in influencing teens to embrace change and become open to healing and new opportunities. Turning Winds has an outstanding success rate.
