EXCELLENT Based on 21 reviews Randy Thorn2024-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After several rehabs, and we mean several, our son recently hit the 1 year sober mark. We have our son back and are so grateful. Changing patterns, building healthy habits, developing a good work ethic and finding enjoyment in working, finding confidence, becoming responsible, developing good daily patterns, building good friendships, finding a place in the community,… takes time. Kellie and other staff members at Mountain Valley understand that and do a great job of supporting and guiding the residents in their daily walk. They build friendships with the residents. They show them respect and acceptance and recognize their great potential. They help them recognize that potential by giving them those daily opportunities to work, grow, contribute,… The therapists, also a key part of the program, are excellent. The community is also welcoming, kind, supportive, accepting,… and show friendship. Mountain Valley is what a recovery program truly needs to be in helping residents build a healthy lifestyle pattern. Thank you Kellie and the rest of the staff. So grateful to have our son back. We highly recommend Mountain Valley!!! Blaine Thorn2024-02-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s hard to accurately put into words how amazing I think Mountain Valley Recovery is….. But I’m going to do my best. I have spent most of my adult life going from one treatment center to the next and from jail to jail. I have put my heart into recovery before and attended other treatment centers but in the end when I left treatment there were to many things missing and inevitably I relapsed. I was lacking good long term habits. I hadn’t built a work ethic because in all my previous treatment centers we just did therapy or rec therapy all day! Also there several other things that are essential for a fulfilling life that other treatment centers just couldn’t offer. I believe Mountain Valley has beautifully and elegantly found the solution for the deficiencies found in other programs. It is long term and allows you to build healthy habits that are permanent. They offer work with amazing caring people in the community. They offer weekly equine therapy. There are cows and horses on the premises that can be interacted with daily. They offer top notch therapy with excellent therapists. They offer recreational activities from skiing to cabin trips. The staff is compassionate, competent and invested in the success of their residents. They offer independence and responsibility. They allow you to save money and chart your own path with excellent support and guidance to make sure you are where you want to be when you graduate. It is a small town and everybody in the community is 100% behind all the residents. Most of all they offer all there residents a new home. By the time you graduate you feel such a part of the community that it seems almost impossible to leave. And if you to stay after graduation. They are right there to help you stay and put roots down In the community. It is not an easy program but every graduate I have met lead happy stable lives and are forever a part of the community. And for someone who hasn’t felt like I had a real home for a long time that is priceless. I would absolutely encourage anyone to consider what they want long term and understand that most of those things can’t be found in your typical rehabs. If you are ready to change and want to have the best chance of having a fulfilling life that you love. No other rehab can offer you more the Mountain Valley. I have found a home here in Holden, Utah of all places and I don’t see myself leaving anytime soon. chris dunia2022-09-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a wonderful and well rounded treatment program. The staff is wonderful and the facilities are great. Beautiful setting away from town with farm and animals. I highly recommend Mountain Valley Recovery Dane Bohnert2022-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mountain Valley truly changed our family member's life from darkness to light. His life was a total mess & he was depressed. Now he's thriving in a new job & has an amazing positive attitude. Excellent staff & community support. Cami Mechling2022-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After multiple attempts at other rehabs and other avenues, we found Mountain Valley Recovery. We were cautiously optimistic when we sent our son here since we’d been disappointed in the outcome so many times before but after completing their 9 month program, he is clean, sober and will tell you that he’s way happier than he’s ever been or ever thought he could be! The way in which they run this program is perfect. Getting in touch with nature, learning how to be a ranch hand, group and individual therapy, finding faith in God, being taught numerous career skills, going camping and on tons of fun adventures are just a few of the many wonderful things that make MVR the most well-rounded and successful recovery program we’ve been able to find. We will never be able to thank Judd, Kellie, Chet and Joseph enough for all they’ve done for our son. He is a changed man. We highly, highly recommend Mountain Valley Recovery! Germanus Carpin2022-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place will get you where you want to be in life. MVR is a lifesaver. It is a very good tough program but this is the type of program that actually works. No one ever said it would be easy, it’s just worth it! Everything is one day at a time here. They build you up to become a part of society again. All of the employees at MVR are selfless and want nothing but the best for their clients. This place will not only get you sober, it will give you your life back. I wouldn’t recommend any other place to anyone. Judd and Kelly are so caring and will welcome you to their family the second they meet you.if you like therapy from horseback, 11,000 feet up in the mountains then this is the place for you! You will go on unbelievable adventures with Chet and other clients. Chet is an amazing therapist! This place is worth it! God bless! D Money2022-01-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve spent the last year at MVR and words can’t express how grateful I am to everyone at the ranch. There are so many things that set mountain valley apart from other places it’s like no other recovery program ive ever been to. It’s changed my life and I feel blessed to have been able to build such a huge structure of fantastic people that I consider family. Much love JD Quist2022-01-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words and stars are not enough to convey how truly grateful our family is for the lifesaving and life-changing experiences our son had during his time at MVR. I can think of no better environment for someone to begin the difficult process of healing from the physical, emotional, and spiritual wounds of addiction. The support our son received from the owners, staff, and members of the local community was amazing. They truly care about the men who enter the program. If anyone reading this is struggling with addiction or has a family member struggling with addiction, I wholeheartedly encourage you contact Mountain Valley Recovery. Kathi Browne2022-01-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give more stars, I would. My family and I are so grateful for the opportunity you gave my son to be his best self. I cannot thank you, the staff and community enough for everything you’ve given him. No doubts at all about how much you all truly care about the men who come to stay at the Ranch…. It’s life changing! Darren Eller2021-12-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This program is not for the faint of heart. It is difficult, however you get out what you put into it. I was in bad shape when I got there. They were kind enough to accommodate my health issues I had when I arrived, other programs turned me down. The longer I was sober the better my health got. I'm now once again a contributing member of society with a year sober.
Benefits of Vocational Programs in Addiction Recovery
As individuals begin their journey of personal growth, many discover that a renewed sense of purpose can be truly transformative. Vocational programs provide that purpose, helping people embrace their potential, rebuild their identity, and step into a future full of possibilities.
Benefits include:
- Providing structure that reinforces healthy daily habits
- Reinforcing self-worth through productive accomplishments
- Reducing relapse risk by keeping the mind and body engaged
- Teaching valuable trades such as carpentry, welding, or mechanics
- Promoting communication and teamwork in a collaborative space
- Building real-world skills for long-term employment
- Encouraging independence and financial responsibility
- Enhancing motivation through purpose-driven progress
Our vocational rehab in Utah is a steady, supportive path toward wholeness. It nurtures healing from the inside out through purpose, progress, and personal growth.
Building a Stronger Future Through Vocational Rehab
Employment plays a vital role in lasting recovery, yet it’s often overlooked in traditional addiction treatment. Research shows that only 40% of individuals with substance use disorders are employed, and that figure drops to 25% for those with dual diagnosis.
However, recent studies point to a promising solution: over 60% of people in the United States who complete vocational rehabilitation secure meaningful employment – a key factor in maintaining long-term sobriety.
At Mountain Valley Recovery, we bridge that gap by integrating vocational training into every client’s journey. Through real-world skill-building and increased confidence, our men gain more than abstinence – they gain a path to long-term stability and independence.
