What People Say

When it comes to reliable and trusted behavioral health and addiction treatment, NewVista and Ethan Crossing provides treatment you can trust.

Nicholas S.
Absolutely wonderful facility. The facility itself is beautiful. They have a gym in the facility with more equipment than you would expect, the executive chef makes absolutely amazing meals–I have not seen food like this served in this type of setting in all my years working in this industry. They provide instruments in two separate music rooms including keyboards, guitar, and electric drum sets for the more artistically inclined clients to freely enjoy. I am so proud to be a part of such a caring staff and an amazing team!
John
Ethan’s Recovery is the best place for inpatient recovery. If you’re seriously ready to get your life back in order, this is your last stop. The staff care above their duty and respect more than I’ve ever cared to realize. It’s been a privilege to be among real humans that have hearts. The facility is very clean and the food is 5 Star. Your rooms and showers are impressive along with outdoor activities. Classes are taken seriously 3-4 time’s a day. To include extra personal needs are shopped for your consideration, but most are offered for your convenience.
Mathew
Definitely a great experience. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful here. Everyone does an excellent job from counselors, to case management, to techs, to the cooks in the kitchen. I learned a lot about myself and about recovery here and recommend this facility to anyone seeking recovery. Thank you so much to everyone !!!
Joshua
Great, kind, and helpful staff? Check. The place is kept clean? Check. The doctor that cares and takes time to answer questions? Check. Food that is palatable? No. The food is great! Executive Chef in-house baby! Behavioral health facilities just evolved once this place opened. Felt more like a vacation staying there than it did a stay to get my brain chemicals right.
Tiffany
Amazing staff. You can tell they care about if you are actually okay. They are more than willing to sit and talk to you. They don’t just act like you’re another patient. The food is amazing! I felt like the doctors and staff really listened to what I was saying and made me feel confident in my safety plan and future mental health plan. The beds were comfortable not just a small foam pad. Bathrooms and rooms were clean. The staff made you feel safe. Amazing landscape photography to help take your mind to another place. Not just blank walls. If you have a family member struggling with mental health I highly suggest this facility. Your family will be in great hands because I know I was!. Thank you to all the staff at Sunrise who were part of my care and my plan.
Alexandra
Wonderful, caring staff, great group meetings and very knowledgeable doctor. Every staff member really cares about your safety and having a pleasant stay. Wonderful food served by a private chef and lots of activities to do during the day. A great experience from beginning intake to the end. I rate this facility 5 stars and would absolutely recommend for anyone struggling with mental health issues.
Antonio
This place definitely helped me. I recommend seeing the medical NP on staff there versus the actual psychiatrist. I really didn’t ENJOY my time being there (no one wants to actually check themselves into any place like this) but I needed to be there and they did what was needed. I’m clean and have developed new coping mechanisms that I forgot existed. The food wasn’t awful either. There were a lot of super friendly, compassionate nurses there who will listen when you need them to. Thank you guys!
Jamie
Was a patient here for a week. Love how they had it all set up. Great staff and doctors are really knowledgeable on what they were doing. Food was amazing!! I would recommend this place for anyone who needs inpatient treatment for mental health.

Treatment

Levels of Care

Psychiatric Assessment

Your loved one will be assessed by a psychiatrist that specializes in understanding the treatment needs of our senior population. Current emotional, functional and medication needs will be evaluated and addressed during the inpatient stay.

Inpatient Psychiatric Treatment​

Inpatient psychiatric treatment is 24-hour care in a safe and secure facility.

Medication Management

Our medical staff includes both psychiatry and internal medicine providers with geriatric specialty training. They work together to provide for the physical and behavioral needs of your loved one. After conducting a comprehensive assessment, the best medication to treat the presenting symptoms will be prescribed. Education and monitoring related to medications is provided by our providers, on site pharmacist and nurses.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Our partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) provide daylong treatment for those who do not require 24-hour inpatient or residential care supervision but continue to be in need of a highly structured treatment setting to make progress on their therapeutic needs.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a gentle step down from PHP for individuals who do not need the frequency of therapy or structure offered in a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). IOP participants learn to improve their communication skills, learn to support peers, learn from others’ experiences, socialize without unhealthy habits, and learn the benefits of structure and productive socialization.

Outpatient Support

Our treatment team collaborates with additional community providers to ensure ongoing outpatient care once discharged from our programs.

Individualized Treatment Plan

Our team will work with you and your loved one to establish a plan of care that is both comprehensive and effective. We do this on a one-on-one basis, as well as in a treatment team setting. After our initial assessment, we will establish both short and long term goals that support both the ongoing behavioral health needs and the individual patient and family preferences and goals. Please ask to speak to a Care Coordinator to schedule time to meet with the treatment team.

24/7 Nursing Care

Nurses are available 24/7 to provide support, education and structure to the unit population, monitor the medication and care needs of your loved one, and supervise treatment programming. A nurse is available for questions in person during all visitation times and via the phone after hours.

Symptom Management

Assessments are conducted three times a day to ensure that symptoms and behaviors are managed with the most current information and stats.

Nutritional Consultation

BlueRidge Vista provides three nutritious meals a day as well as three scheduled snacks. A registered dietitian will evaluate special dietary restrictions and needs to ensure ongoing nutritional support.

Therapeutic Interventions

Over five hours of therapeutic treatment and recreation therapy is scheduled daily. Our team focuses on increasing coping skills, reducing behaviors that limit socialization and exercise and recreation therapy to maintain the highest level of patient functioning.

Exercise Therapy

Groups are conducted to increase physical endurance and maintain active involvement while in our hospital. Weather permitting, we utilize our handicap accessible outdoor courtyard for activities and exercise.

Expressive Therapy

Music, art therapy and other forms of expressive therapy are conducted on a daily basis. Expressive therapy helps to engage your loved ones in memories and feeling that support their journey to recovery.

Family Participation

We value and encourage feedback and participation from families, and other supportive individuals, to maintain social connections and supports

Discharge Planning

Our care coordinators work with family preferences and referring facilities to ensure a comprehensive and supportive discharge plan. Planning takes into consideration patient and family preferences as well as the treatment needs of the individual. For more information, ask to speak to one of our social workers.
