My daughter is currently at Viamar, and I can’t say enough positive things about the program. After hospitalizations, various groups, day programs, individual therapy and more, my daughter is finally getting the treatment that she needs. She has worked harder at Viamar than she has ever done before. The routines, programs, and staff have been the perfect fit for her. She often comments that the program is intense and very hard but it is helping her to peel back the layers to get to the root of her eating disorder as well as the co disorders that accompany it. All families are very much encouraged to be involved in treatment with private family therapy as well as a weekly session consisting of learning and understanding the components of eating disorders and how to deal with them, the language you use around your loved one, and how to encourage intuitive eating. In addition, every other Saturday there is a virtual session called Caring Persons. This session combines all patients and family members virtually. This is a very intense and often moving program which highlights the struggles and growth of two or three families per week. It has been proven to be a productive and successful addition to the recovery process. I have found the staff to be exceptionally skilled and very accommodating. My daughter has bounded with her doctor, counselor, and nutritionist as well as the rest of the staff. She is very happy with the level of care she has received. I too am very happy with the level of communication and professionalism of all of the staff I have encountered thus far. My daughter has progressed from residential to a PHP home. She is very comfortable there and is learning how to manage her own meals while still attending all programming at the center on a daily basis. She has done well with the less stringent routine but still feels very supported. She has not indicted that she wants to come home. In fact, for the first time, she is 100% committed to getting well and doing whatever it takes to overcome her eating disorder, her depression, and her other co disorders. She said she wants to “stay for the long haul” and do it right this time. This speaks volumes about Viamar. Consequently, we feel that Viamar is the perfect program for our family, and we highly recommend it. We have been given hope and relief, something we have been searching for for years.

This place saved my life, credit paid where credit is due, but it is flawed in many ways in residential. Broken system that works. They know what they’re talking about in terms of EDs, but don’t let them mess with your medication or try to rapidly take you off of a medication, this has only further damaged my brain since leaving. Severe damage from a rapid benzo taper, which is not recommended by most professionals

They are saving my daughter's life and I am eternally grateful ! I simply can not say enough great things about the incredible caring staff and the outstanding efficacy of their program. Every other facility we worked with or tried to work with let us down and left my daughter in serious danger. The owner of ViaMar Health personally fought with our insurance provider to make sure that she got the life saving treatment she needed. She has made remarkable gains and is still working to overcome her severe eating disorder. Since being admitted, she has regained her weight, learned coping and life skills and has matured greatly. I have been deeply involved in the process, attended workshops and therapy sessions and learned how to avoid enabling behaviors and replace them with a solution based approach that encourages accountability while still providing the necessary support of a loving father. We had no where to turn and had searched all over the country as my daughter continued to suffer, lose weight, and become increasingly endangered. Now we have hope again and she is well on her way to recovery. I doubt there is a better facility anywhere and I recommend ViaMar without hesitation and as the most exceptional facility we have encountered during years of exploration. Thank you so very much ViaMar Health, your staff, facilities and programming are by far, the best we have ever experienced.

I called to speak about the services they offer and CATHY was extremely rude... Not a good way to treat a potential client.
