Dear Parents

We write this letter with the hope that it will ease some of the concerns you may feel, in regard to your child.  It is hard to be a parent in today's world.  Many times we place blame on ourselves for our children's decisions.  Every parent has shortcomings, however, it is crucial for our children to take accountability for their own choices. 

Vista Treatment Center is dedicated to creating fundamental changes in thinking, and behavior.   We base all our philosophies on the family unit, with strong emphasis on open communication.  In our 17 years of experience, we can say that it is possible to rekindle a healthy relationship of love and support with your child.  We have seen it happen, even when logic says otherwise.

We have found the real key to successful therapy is relationships.  Vista Treatment Centers are small for that very reason.  Our therapists carry small workloads so your child gets the attention they need, in order to heal and develop.  It is an intensive program, but our students often say it was just what they needed.

We understand how big a decision it is to trust a Treatment Center to care of your child.  It is a large commitment financially and emotionally.  To that we would say that we make the same commitment to you and your child.  You cannot be in this business without allowing the students to become a real part of your life.

Each time we witness the changes in our students, and their families, we are reminded of why we began this journey.  It is about uniting families.  Regardless of whether your child participates in the Vista Program or not, we are glad to answer any questions you have about your child's specific needs.  We cannot perform miracles overnight, but we have seen hundreds of them over 17 years.

 Sincerely,

Matt & Memory Dixon
