Client Testimonials

"Windmill’s IOP program was a vital part of my recovery. It provided me with continued support, resources, and counseling while navigating day to day life. Leaving rehab is hard but seeing Loni or Shan on IOP everyday made it a hell of a lot easier". - Abby L.

"I am a proud alumnus of Windmill Wellness Center. I was asked to give a couple of sentences on my VIOP experience. I am having a tough time talking about VIOP because the entire experience that led up to VIOP was just so important also. Having been given the opportunity to go through the entire program I was suggested that I continue my transition out of the center and that I may choose to go to the VIOP program. The time that I spent in VIOP, combined with the work that was done previously I believe has led to the success of my continued sobriety. I cannot say clearly enough that the time, attention, follow up, and care that was shown after I left the facility was as great as when I was physically at the facility. I was able to carry my worries and concerns that I had about transitioning back home. I landed in a safe spot with people that I had come to know, love, and respect. It seems weird to say but Windmill had become the anchor of my life and transitioning home felt as though it would be extremely difficult. Using VIOP I was able to get back into my new daily life feeling safe and comfortable. I was able to anchor my boat back to my New Life. I write this on the day of anniversary of my tenth month of continuous sobriety. I still carry and practice all the lessons that I learned. I am not sure what had the greatest impact on my sobriety because they all work together in harmony." - Nick V.
