Futures Recovery Healthcare

TL;DR: I got to Futures thinking I would breeze through in two weeks, go through the motions, then go home and forget it ever happened. I spent my first few days acting this way until I realized just how poor my mental health was. I turned around my attitude and left Futures glowing, with lifelong friends that I can call at any time of the day for support. I have continued to join the weekly mental health alumni calls. They are so important to me that I have adjusted my life around making them. Futures is truly life changing. Guaranteed that I would not be alive today if I had not attended Futures. One note: If you are reading this and feel like you need immediate help please dial 911, go to an emergency room, or call 988. There are people at all of these locations that can help you in your immediate situation and assist you with getting help. I was at Futures in April and May 2024 in the residential mental health (MH) program. This place is without a doubt life changing. I don't use that term lightly. When I entered Futures my life was hanging from a thread due to severe depression and suicidal ideation. Life could not have gotten any worse for me. Luckily my wife loved me enough to force me to go to Futures. It took a few days for me to accept my situation and decide to give it a try. I gave it my all and 5 weeks later I left a totally different person. The individual therapy clinicians were excellent. Alexis, Cecile, Emily, and Natalie (in alphabetical order so as to not pick a favorite) were sensitive to your needs and treated you as an individual person instead of just a number/patient. They were truly invested in your recovery. They tailored your program and therapy to what you needed for success, not a formula that was standard for everyone. The group therapy clinicians and peer specialists were just as great as the individual therapy clinicians. Dan "Dan Dan the family man", David "the other guy", Dika, Ryan, Sarah (with the avocado tattoo), and others were top notch. The group therapy was set up for you to recover and learn not only from the professional staff but also from your fellow patients. There is a spectacular group dedicated to your continued recovery when you leave. Alisha, Craig, Darby, John, and LaQuisha were great. Futures helped you set up your next steps in your recovery before you left so you knew what was next and didn't have to struggle to determine what was next when you left. The Alumni crew follows up with you on a regular basis and is there for your continued recovery. The tech staff and nursing staff were there for your success as well. The techs were your 24/7 contact in the facility since the clinical staff worked 7 days a week but only about 0800-1800. My favorite techs by far were Allissa, David, Drew (Andrew), Hailey, Louis, Rachel J, Rachel L, and Riley. All the techs were great but some of them were greater than others. Stephanie in the medical office was especially warm and helpful. She went out of her way to help me be successful on my last day there. The MH program facility was set up for your success. Was it Four Seasons nice? No. But it was a nice place. Was the food worthy of a James Beard award? No. But it was good food and made it so you could focus on recovery. Were some of the rules a bit annoying at first? Yes. But they were made to allow you to focus on recovery. In summary, Futures was 100% set up for your success. The entire staff was caring, warm, friendly, and tailored to your recovery. I have made many lifelong friends both in the facility and those I have met on the weekly alumni calls. Do I want to go back? No. Going back would mean I have relapsed in my recovery. Would I go back if I ever need to go back? In a heartbeat. If Futures made a weeklong program for alumni to return and get a "tune-up" I'd be the first one to sign up. If you are reading this please remember this: You Matter. You are Enough. There are people in the world that care about you and your recovery. You just need to let them help.

I have nothing but good things to say about Futures. Sadly, my teenage son has been in and out of treatment facilities for year, and I can say this is the best one he ever stayed at. It is in a nice area, it is a little higher security that others with it being a bit out of the way from town, and locked gate. Not that this is the most important part of a facility, but the food and facilities are top-notch.

This place is amazing. Treatment is uncomfortable and restricted in nature but Futures gives everyone their own private Bedroom and Bathroom with a common living space between 2 roommates as well as options to have a single living space. Additionally arrangements to have access to phones and computers can be done before hand with admissions as well as afterwards for exceptions with therapists.The property and amenities are beautiful and the ancillary upgrades to recreational therapy and massage and acupuncture are on site too. It has been the best 57 days of healing and support I’ve ever experienced. Their Alumni program for former patients helps continue your sober support community every Thursday night.

I spent 30 days w futures. My stay was very educational compared to 2 other facilities I’ve stayed with in years past. The staff is professional and well educated on the topic at hand which has given me actual tools I can use in my recovery. If you are struggling I recommend Futures.
