What Clients and Families Share
Voices From Our Outpatient Community
If you or someone you love is struggling with any addictions I highly recommend the Blanchard Institute. We are so incredibly grateful for what the team there did to give my son the tools to progress. Everyone we met at Blanchard was exceptional. They help educate the entire family and hold regular meetings of sharing. These were extremely valuable! I think Ward Blanchard and his entire team are incredible and I’m in awe at their focused care. I like the fact they have a variety of professionals to help them on their journey to recovery. Their website does a great job of explaining. I did tons of research and I strongly believe this is the best addiction center in the U.S. Don’t hesitate to get yourself or your loved one the help they need!
I attended Blanchard and let me tell you, out of the 3 programs I went to, this is the best one. Blanchard saved my life. The staff is amazing and they have some staff members who are in long term recovery well, which I love because they can relate to the patients. Amazing experience.
Blanchard is wonderful at exploring that this is a disease and including the whole family and how to handle this disease. The research that has been done is remarkable. They have helped our family tremendously in understanding this disease and how to move forward to help our family member.
I’ve been connected with The Blanchard Institute for several years as a family member of someone who struggled with addiction. They are extremely supportive and family-focused, knowing that addiction is a disease that impacts the entire family. From the very beginning they teach you and keep you informed about how to be supportive as a family member which is invaluable. I’m so happy to say that The Blanchard Institute is the reason my family member became, and has stayed healthy. The team members at Blanchard are extremely professional, honest, and trustworthy.
This institution goes above and beyond to keep up with the newest and most effective research and strategies for long term recovery. Blanchard continues to be the ONLY place I would ever advise that a loved one would go to for help. Top tier!
The Blanchard Institute offers a free workshop titled "Family Systems" that I attended recently. This was one of the best trainings I've ever had! The information was relevant to me both personally and professionally, and was delivered in such a riveting way. The message of TBI came across very empathetically, as well as informed due to both knowledge and experience. I'd happily take another opportunity to learn from this team.
I had the opportunity to attend the Saturday family workshop at The Blanchard Institute, and I can confidently say it’s a legitimate and supportive place. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking treatment for themselves or support for their family.
As a person in long term recovery who is also a behavioral health professional, I can't speak highly enough of the programming and staff at The Blanchard Institute. In addition, TBI provides more free, community-based education and support services than any other program I've come across. This is a great place to begin or restore the recovery process and access wrap-around support for the entire family system!
