What about meals?
La Vista provides a family atmosphere at all levels which means meals are planned, prepared and served and shared in a family-like setting. Everyone takes part in all aspects of daily living. Other than severe dietary restrictions imposed by a physician, everyone’s meals are the same.

What about exercise?
Group exercise is conducted twice per day followed by a walking routine on the beautiful grounds of our facility. A treadmill is available for use by our clients.

What about visiting?
• Our 10 day no-contact policy allows a client to become quiet and centered without outside distraction. This creates the foundation upon which she will build her new life in recovery.
• The last Sunday of each month is designated “family day” to provide our clients with the opportunity to see their loved ones and begin the healing process while in treatment. A visitor orientation is required. It is necessary to call our office to schedule visitation.
• Clients’ children, 15 and under, may be eligible for a bi-weekly 2 hour visit. No child care provisions are available at La Vista.

Am I able to leave the facility?
We request that each client handle any business or medical issues prior to entering La Vista. We will respect a client’s Right To Worship.
Unforeseen medical or business appointments will be reviewed and arranged on an individual basis and will be supported by a senior resident or staff member.

Can I smoke at La Vista?
Although La Vista is a non-smoking facility for staff, clients are allowed to smoke in a designated area at specific intervals during the day.

Can I come to La Vista if I am pregnant?
We offer a perinatal program for our expectant mothers. Since the inception of this program in 1992 there have been 65 babies born to mothers who come to La Vista for help with their addictions. It is a miracle to see a mother helping herself so her baby can have the opportunity to live a healthy life. This program teaches in-depth parenting, nutrition classes, alcohol/drug education, classes in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and life-coping skills.

Is there an age restriction for your program?
We welcome any woman age 18-90+ regardless of ethnicity who has a desire to help herself recovery from alcohol and/or drug addiction. We are extremely happy to welcome mature women age 50+ and offer a mature woman- specific specialized curriculum and schedule to fit their needs.
