Center For Discovery Resilience | San Diego

I went to CFD Vista from November 7-December 23-ish. I really liked it here. The staff were very nice, yet they were strict when needed. When I was there, we used the pool a couple of times and went outside sometimes for FIT.
We did a lot of worksheets, artsy things, and durning the holidays fun activities were planned. The staff really cared for me.

My only complaints are that I didn't get along with some of the residents, and the therapists allowed their clients to walk out of the room. Oh, and we weren't allowed in our bedrooms unless it was bedtime. We had to stay downstairs the whole day.

Other than that, this place was pretty helpful. I'm currently in their IOP program. If you're thinking about sending your daughter here, give it a try if you think this'll be a good place for her.

Remember- this place only works if you let it.

As a parent I was worried Sending my Daughter too this program I read all the reviews ..Now that my daughter completed 6weeks, I can say she learned coping skills, and family therapy really helped us in many ways.. As a parent its hard too accept we also need help or change or ways , Center for discovery was the best choice I made for my daughter.

We are very Thankful and happy for my daughter improvement I strongly encourage any parent Center for Discovery for your teenager..

My teen attended in Sept/Oct 2016. The program director was assigned as my kids primary therapist (my understanding is that this doesn't happen very often) - I felt she did a great job with my teen! She held my teen accountable and challenged my teen's cognitive distortions. My teen had several major breakthroughs in the span of 30 days that have been invaluable to her treatment, self-accountability and progress. My teen (who has been struggling for several years) changed notably. Although my teen was hurt and angry with me for admitting them, my teen thanked me after her stay at the CFD in Vista. This was just one step in my teens journey (not a quick fix), yet it was one of the most important steps we made!
