Rites of Passage

"I spent 3 months at the beautiful rites of passage and the staff was so understanding and literally gave me the opportunity to utilize the tools I needed at that traumatic time in my life to get better . This was my first and only time I've ever been to treatment and had no idea what to expect , within 3 months I graduated and returned home I also had my therapy cat Giovanni with me he was also treated with respect and love thank you to Alisha Adrien and the staff for helping me get my life back I recommend this place with 5 stars ."

"My experience is as a guest at the facility. While visiting I spoke with staff, clients and consultants. In all instances the comments of staff, clients and consultants was favorable of the program. I also helped care for and feed the many animals who are part of this program. Honestly they are housed and fed well. I realize my recommendation doesn't sound exciting but programs such as Rites of Passage do important and necessary work. There are too few programs such as this."

"Rites of Passage is a great trauma program. Staff are kind, knowledgeable and will take the extra steps to help patients explore the causes of their pain. Excellent healing. Excellent dialog with families. Great program"

"Really a beautiful atmosphere! So quiet and serene. The lodgings are very comfortable and clean! The staff is very caring and are genuine! Love all the animals too!"

"Well, here’s a review from someone who actually went through the program. I was at Rites of Passage for 6 months. And I can truly say I owe my life to what I learned there. When I got to Rites of Passage I was so hopeless, my life had become completely miserable. I am thankful every single day for what I learned there. I learned how to be a person again. I learned how to communicate, how to build meaningful relationships, how to handle my emotions, how to take care of my mind, body, and spirit. I found my self worth, and I discovered joy again. I learned tools to cope with my trauma, and to find peace within myself. And the animal therapy program was phenomenal. I’ve never seen a facility that takes such good care of their animals. They teach so much respect for all life, their animals, and the resident’s animals. They helped in getting my rescue dog, who has become my true companion, and has taught me about love, resiliency, and respect for life. I now have amazing relationships with friends and family. I have become passionate about my work. I really could go on forever about how this program helped me in every aspect of my life. That is what I mean when I say I owe my life to this program. If you are unsure about starting this program, just ask to speak with a previous client. Anyone who actually works the program will be able to tell you all about it, and how much it positively impacted their life."
