In 2024, a family member of mine received care through Westbridge's residential treatment program. I have waited to review, as I wanted to wait until the dust settled since his experience there. His quality of life and self worth have increased exponentially since his time in Westbridge. He still speaks of the program often and how grateful he was 1. To take the personal step to better himself by attending this program and 2. To finally have found a setting that really helped tackle his struggles holistically and in a way that set him up for success not only during treatment, but after.
My family is incredibly blown away by the quality of care received not only by my family member, but parents and sibling(s) as well. Their model sets families up for success. This program truly helped change the trajectory of our family's life. Westbridge prioritizes family support and education - we learned to understand more about our loved one's struggles, how to best help him, and the best ways to communicate effectively. These are lifelong skills that our family learned through this program.
Initially there was a good amount of leg work due to negotiations and paperwork required with the VA, however, this program was worth every ounce of effort prior to his official start. It was a blessing to our family that the VA was able to cover this treatment 100%.
The administrative team was incredibly helpful throughout this process. As a clinical social worker myself, I recognize just how much it takes to run a facility and program like Westbridge, and unfortunately for this quality and level of care, it IS a large expense.
All of this to say, thank you to Westbridge for the fantastic experience from start to finish. Thank you for still including us in your weekly emails and support groups/alumni opportunities. If you're reading this, you won't regret at least contacting Westbridge to learn more. read more
