Testimonials

“I am forever grateful to Heather, Chris, Aliza, Lori, and everyone at Herren Wellness. We will always be a part of this beautiful community. My wife smiles with her eyes, watch for it because it is beautiful. Her eyes tell you everything. She works every day to reflect happiness and gratitude within her recovery. I don’t know what life holds for us, the grey, the preciousness of it. These words will never carry the weight of my gratitude but as a wise person once said, it is important to hear the wonderful work you do. My experience with Herren Wellness provided me an even deeper meaning to the word, beautiful. It is a word that I have always used to describe my wife, but it is now what I know our life will be going forward.”

“Family would be the one word I would use to describe our experience at Herren Wellness. We were welcomed with open arms when we first came here. We continue to be. The communication between the staff here at Herren and our family is open, honest and frequent.”

“The year before coming to Herren Wellness was full of stress and anxiety that we were trying to manage. I had two young kids and a wife that was gravely ill and could not stop drinking. Day one we were supported by the Herren Wellness community and her wellness plan was built around what would make her recovery successful.  The best decision I have made was the day I reached out to Herren Wellness asking for help. From that moment on our lives have changed.”

“More than anything I am grateful and thankful because we have gotten our lives back. My wife is back to being the old version of herself that she was prior to coming to Herren Wellness. Since my wife has left, she continues to meet with her life coach, we come back on the weekends and I have made as many friends here as my wife has. You are always welcome back at Herren Wellness.”

“The gratitude I feel for Herren Wellness is explainable. When we came to Herren Wellness I learned addiction was a disease and through talking with Heather, Lori, Chris and everyone who was helping my wife with her addiction, I learned so much. I began to understand what she was going through and learned about the tools that she was given to recover. Recovery for my family has far exceeded where I thought we would be today. To have my wife, my kids and myself all in the same house…Herren Wellness has given my family so much hope.”

“In Katie’s journey and our family’s journey there have been multiple treatments, detoxes, sober living facilities all with pretty much the same 28 days maybe 45 days of sober living with not a lot of support…we realized the traditional treatment that Katie was seeking was not getting to the root of her issues and substance use disorder. When we came upon Herren Wellness, we learned that they treat the whole individual which is what we felt was missing in her recovery.”

“It’s like a giant family at Herren Wellness. I have a whole new family of people I love and trust who I can depend on, and they can depend on me. It’s a really beautiful thing.”

“The group of people that Chris Herren has gathered around him are beyond equal. Their knowledge, dedication, the way they continue to go above and beyond for guests and for each other is something I’ve never seen nor experienced anywhere.”

“At Herren Wellness there are no limits to what they will do to help my recovery. Of all the places I’ve been, I’ve never, ever experienced anything like this. They actually mean it when they say they are family.”

“Herren Wellness did not just save my life―it gifted me with a life beyond anything I ever dreamt.”

“The grounds, the facilities, the groups, and activities were, and continue to be, outstanding. Truly, everything at Herren Wellness is special.”

“I have never encountered this type of interest in my well-being, and I have never experienced the community I was a part of at Herren Wellness”

“Herren Wellness taught me how to be the most authentic version of myself, and really helped me process the things that were tamped down for 20 years.”

“I say to anybody, if they don’t want to make the commitment, simply go there and check it out. I promise people that if they go look at this place, you don’t have to stay. Just go and take a tour and hang out. I know when I say this that if they do take this step – even if they don’t stay then – that seed is going to be planted. I know that if they go see Herren Wellness, that the next time they drink it won’t be the same. Just from taking a tour.”

“It is such a healing place. I was treated with respect. It was such a healing, safe, and comfortable environment.”
