I am very impressed with Victory Bay Recovery across the board, starting with inception on day one when my son first went there and all the way through the treatment process which in our case includes IOP and sober living housing. They made the whole onboarding process so easy at a time when our stress levels were so heightened. The team there is always accessible and at all levels. Even on our first day one if the founders sat down with us to talk and it helped. his therapist has been tremendous and "always" there to discuss things and to help ensure a successful outcome. She always seems to have the right balance of care, understanding, and directness to ensure the things that matter are heard and absorbed my the clients. Vic Bay's approach to treatment and the methodologies applied just works! And my son is now 6 months sober and one of the youngest clients there. I'm sincerely grateful to this facility and the many individuals that work together to make success stories which I know my son is and will continue to be one of their successes.
