About Valley Vista
Valley Vista in Bradford, Vermont, specializes in treating mental health conditions and substance use disorders (SUD). They specialize in medical detox, inpatient treatment, and aftercare services. They accept Medicaid, VA Community Care Network and a variety of other insurances.
Located on the border of the Connecticut River and New Hampshire, Bradford is a charming town with lots to offer for anyone seeking community connection and recovery support. Here, you’ll find lots of outdoor activities to participate in, from fishing and hiking to golf and auto racing. There’s also a vibrant shopping district and restaurant scene.
Something unique about this facility is that it offers gender-specific residences and SUD treatment programs. They understand that men and women have different recovery journeys and they’re here to support your unique needs. For many people, the first step in recovery is medical detox.
Their program provides round-the-clock care from a team of clinical professionals. Instead of waiting to participate in therapy after you complete this process, you’ll do so as part of the detox process. Once you complete detox, you can begin participating in some of the other activities they offer on campus.
What sticks out to me the most is their focus on therapeutic outings. During your stay here, you can hike, meditate in nature, go on nature walks and attend barbecues. Being out in nature and engaging in social supportive settings can reduce anxiety, release endorphins and help you develop trust with your peers. In addition to holistic activities like these, they also use evidence-based treatment modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and motivational enhancement therapy (MET) to help you address your substance use and underlying behaviors.
Their aftercare planning includes meetings with a therapist and counselor before completing treatment. They’ll help with housing placement and employment assistance. They can also make referrals for continuing care.
