Creating a Legacy of Wellness— Exclusive Mental Health Care Guided by Clinical Excellence

Terri Mickelson

Dave and the team at Legacy Recovery were supportive and dedicated to helping our son with not just sobriety, but more important, his mental health. Our son had attempted suicide and I was so worried about finding him the right help. Legacy’s mental health first and substance abuse second approach is spot on, saving our son through the darkest of days. A big shout out to Melanie for the weekly family therapy sessions. A life saver for me! The counseling provided to family members is outstanding and so helpful with setting boundaries. Legacy’s commitment to help and counsel all the way to and then through sober living, clearly is above and beyond. We are extremely grateful to every single staff member for your caring, professional, supportive, loving and understanding care. Without you, we are not sure that our son would be on this road to recovery. Thank you.

this is the third treatment center i have ever attended and i can say by far that this is the BEST one i have ever been to. they strictly focus on mental health and uncovering traumas i was always so scared to talk about. on top of that, the staff has always been so generous and genuine and that’s rare to find in treatment centers. it was a life changing experience for me that i’ll never forget- thank you!

Legacy recover has been an amazing experience. I came into the program broken, depressed and lost. The progress i made in the short time is incredible. The staff are amazing and the property is a calming atmosphere. I recommend this recovery program. Everything on its schedule is put together to help every health need.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional care and support that Legacy has provided to my husband during one of the most challenging times in his life. Struggling with mental health, my husband had reached a breaking point, and we knew something needed to change. From the moment I spoke with Dave on the phone, to the intake with Shea and Nathan, we were met with nothing but kindness, professionalism, and genuine concern for his well-being. The staff is nothing short of incredible. They took the time to listen, understand, and design a treatment plan that was tailored to my husband’s specific needs. They not only focused on his symptoms but also helped him work on the root causes of his struggles, allowing him to start the healing process on a deeper level and they kept me in the loop weekly on how he was progressing. My husband has never been the one to open about his feelings, but the team created a safe space for him to do so, helping him feel supported every step of the way. They have worked closely with him, helping him develop coping mechanisms and strategies to manage his mental health in ways that felt empowering. Thanks to their comprehensive treatment and unwavering support, my husband has made incredible progress. He is now more calm, and in control of his mental health than ever before. I can actually hear the positivity in his voice when speaking to him and there is a light about him that is finally back. The transformation I've seen in him is truly remarkable, and I will forever be grateful for the care and expertise of everyone at Legacy. The work they do is life-changing, and we are so fortunate to have found such a dedicated and caring team to help my husband reclaim his life. I just want to thank everyone at Legacy for all that you have done. I know there is still continued work to be done and his journey is not over, but he will be able to persevere because of everything he has learned with Legacy. Thank you all!

I want to express my deep gratitude for the staff at Legacy Recovery Center. I recently had a loved one go through a severe mental health crisis. What followed was months of our loved one in and out of *multiple* hospitalizations, in-patient treatment facilities, and residential programs, both locally and in California. I will be spending some time trying to figure out why Legacy ended up being the place to bring some stability and healing when all of the other highly rated facilities simply could not. I am sure timing played a part, but even if the 'timing' is right, the facility needs to be able to execute and have the right staff. For other families going through this same issue, it's easy to become disenfranchised with the process. A couple of the previous facilities were almost predatory in their approach to admissions. They were full of promises, highlighting their luxury amenities or touting the qualifications of their head staff. What I have learned is that at most facilities, those highly qualified lead doctors are rarely at the facility. Do a quick search on them, and you will find they are often associated with multiple mental health facilities and are simply 'overseeing' the process. I am not writing that to be critical of that system, as their experience is important in structuring a successful mental health treatment program. But know that most of the hard work is done with the day to day staff and therapists. And as others have already mentioned, all of the staff at Legacy are absolutely amazing. On top of the frustrating admissions process, I felt that many of the facilities overly medicated our loved one. Please know, I believe medication is critical as part of mental health. But in our case, I felt that our loved one was declining each day while they were being shuffled from facility to facility. My fear was they would eventually be 'lost in the system', which was realized when they were eventually discharged to the streets of LA. It was an emotional roller coaster when our loved one called and wanted to try again with residential treatment. They had found Legacy Recovery Center and had been coordinating with Dave. Step one to success - honest and helpful admissions. Dave is a life saver. He was able to get our loved one admitted that same day. There were hard conversations, but they were delivered with honesty and compassion. And his dedication is amazing. Dave was extremely responsive, even during the holiday season. And Dave continues to be actively involved throughout the entire process, which was comforting. The therapy staff at Legacy were... well let me say that after attending a joint therapy session with our loved one, and meeting several of the staff, I am baffled at their insight, observational ability, and skills at coaxing out so much, all with a masterful balance of honesty, directness, and compassion. I went to support my loved one, and left feeling like I personally had just gone through one of the best therapy sessions of my life. Most importantly to me, they listened to what we had observed regarding prior treatment and medication, and did not simply follow what the previous facilities had done. Ultimately, our loved one did need medication, but the staff at Legacy worked to find the right balance. If anything, I think this was a critical reason that our loved one was successful at Legacy. They felt heard and were part of the process. Finally, the facility was great. Honestly, that was not as important to me, so long as they could help our loved one. But it is a lovely large home with plenty of communal spaces and spaces to get some privacy. Physical health is prioritized here as well, and the home has a fitness center and regular fitness classes. At all of my visits, it felt calm and comfortable. It is a safe place. Ultimately, Legacy was able to provide the mental health treatment for our loved one that others were not able to do. And that is what matters.

I will be forever grateful for how they helped my kid when no one else could. Richard is empathetic, knowledgeable and truly passionate about helping people. Tyler's therapy worked wonders, and was positively transformative, in addition to planning a solid plan after the recovery. I highly recommend this facility for anyone who needs and wants the help.

Legacy Recovery Center was an incredibly positive experience for me. I could only find a handful of facilities in the country offering general mental health services (for anxiety, depression, burnout). The staff is wonderful! Everyone from the techs, the therapists, and Richard, the owner, is so caring and compassionate. Definitely their greatest asset. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed. My greatest complaint is that the facility does not match what is advertised. I was never told that an offsite gym was an option. Yoga is only once a week with no other guided physical activities aside from meeting the personal trainer once a week. “Home-cooked meals” are made by you. While they buy whatever groceries you ask for, nothing is prepared for you. The household amenities are very very basic. While disappointing, I still made the most of my experience and came away with the tools I needed to put my life back in order. I loved the group therapy and all that I was taught. I do wish more therapeutic activities were available so I could just shut my brain off from the psycho-ed. But overall, I’m incredibly pleased with my experience and am so grateful for this opportunity.
