Valley Vista

Valley Vista is a 87-bed alcohol and substance use disorder co-occurring residential treatment center with locations in Bradford and Vergennes. Our mission is to provide state-of-the-art, evidence-based co-occurring inpatient substance use disorder treatment services to adult women and men struggling with chemical dependency and/or mental illness.

Valley Vista is comprised of two autonomous co-occurring substance use treatment programs—gender specific men and women’s programs (Men’s Treatment Program—MTP; and the Women’s Treatment Program—WTP).
Valley Vista meets the ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) patient placement criteria for Level 3.1 to 3.5. We are the only Level 3.5 rated co-occurring residential substance use treatment organization in the State of Vermont. Both programs meet ASAM criteria as a Level 3.5 WM—Medically Monitored Inpatient Withdrawal Management detoxification program ensuring optimal withdrawal care for our patients. Valley Vista maintains CARF accreditation for program excellence and has been recognized for capability in dual-diagnosis treatment (DDCAT). Our comprehensive goal is to provide clinically indicated intervention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitative services reflecting best practice standards. Valley Vista’s treatment methodologies reflect a patient-centered approach utilizing multiple evidenced-based therapeutic modalities. Individualized treatment planning establishes goals and measureable objectives supportive of each individual’s growth and desired outcomes. Valley Vista has dedicated staff to provide comprehensive aftercare planning and the milieu recovery management program provides recovery coaches and other peer-to-peer support services for optimal success.
