Probably the best center for treating my mental health. It’s not to say it wasn’t challenging though. My favorite part was the support and comfort I got from Sherry the house manager and her partner when she was out of town. I felt so supported and respected’

Going to Wings Recovery for three and a half months — from residential, to PHP, to IOP — truly changed my life. Before I arrived, I was in an incredibly low place and felt I had only two options: to give up, or to try something like this. I’m so grateful my mom found Wings for me, because I didn’t even have the energy or clarity to research programs myself. Wings helped me understand why I reacted the way I did, gave me tools to make healthy choices for my future, and supported me as I made them. At first I planned to return to Los Angeles after treatment, but by the end I knew what was right for me was moving to New York. With their guidance I found a job, a therapist, and support groups there. The structure was life-changing: therapy all day from 9–4, learning DBT, ACT, CBT, IFS, boundary work, trauma support, plus daily process groups. In residential I also learned basic life skills — cooking, cleaning, making my bed, living without my phone — which helped me break years of isolating habits. EMDR was especially transformative for my depression and PTSD, and having access to it alongside weekly therapy, and a psychiatrist who could adjust medications in real time, made a huge difference. Wings is hard work, but if you’re at the point where nothing else has helped and you want to experience joy again, it’s worth it. I can honestly say Wings gave me the tools to build a new life.

My experience at Wings changed my life. After using drugs for the better part of my life I finally received the treatment and therapy I needed. I lived at the Grandview house where I found my guiding light Sherry ( the house mgr). I can't say enough about her. Her love and kindness helped me through some tough times. My therapist, Sadie, was amazing too. She asked the tough questions and always gave me the motivation to keep moving forward.
