My daughter is currently at Alta Loma recovering from a very extensive Bipolar 1 manic episode…read morewhere she almost lost her life. I can't begin to tell you how overwhelmed I felt when the hospital called to let me know she was discharging. Unfortunately, the hospitals tend to discharge before they are stable enough to function in normal daily life. I knew my husband and I would not be be able to manage her at home initially, so I began searching for help. This is when I found Alta Loma. After researching them and reading the bios of the people that run it and work there, I decided to give them a call. George called me back promptly and was so helpful. Honestly, it was a huge relief just hearing what he had to say about what they do, and how they can help with our situation. He worked with not only my husband and I, but also worked with the hospital to help us get our daughter transitioned straight to Alta Loma at her hospital discharge. She has now been at Alta Loma for five weeks, and is making great progress! I get to talk to her several times a week, and I love that they are teaching her how to manage her disease. I can hear major improvements each week just over the phone. She talks about all the things she is learning in her process group classes, and continues to tell me how nice everyone is there, and how great the food is. Her therapist Jessica is amazing and specializes in my daughter's disease. She really has a way of connecting with her, which is super important. I also love that this company really helps support the families as well. Not only do they offer a weekly support group and weekly family therapy calls with our daughter, we also just attended one of their 3-day classes which helps teach us how to manage things when our daughter comes home. Hannah and Jerry led this class, and they too are great! We met a lot of families in the class that are struggling with a family member's disease as well. I realized most of them were from out of state. We are so fortunate in Texas that we have a wonderful place like Alta Loma, and I feel truly blessed that my daughter is healing and recovering with them. Thank you Alta Loma for all you are doing!

You can scroll down to see my first as well as from a Father's perspective (John Bobbitt) review. Chiming in for an update. Hensley House deserves nothing but personal testimonials for those researching for this subset population. My son was Hensley House 1 from February 2023 - November 2023 with complete growth, accountability, and great relationships within the homes. Given the disease, he relapsed and asked for Hensley House first during treatment discharge planning. Although he would be more home and family sick, he resounded the most happy sober and actively working the steps in recovery - it was at Hensley House. The stars aligned and a bed opened up for him! To think that Patrick Hensley would, not once but revisit, keep continual contact with the discharge coordinator on bed availability for this 1 young man. For the one, Patrick will reach out to tend that lost sheep. My eyes fill with tears to KNOW that Patrick is serving his calling. He sought my son as someone equipped and caring to reach his hand out to. Patrick seeks these men in turmoil, to walk with them, welcomes in love despite how they come through Hensley House doors, and tends to the illness in recovery for a sober life to celebrate thankfully. Come as you are. The Hensley House crew is family to each other and us. Now I'm referring to Patrick Hensley as his mission, but the house managers walk and live the same! The house mangers are fully supported, invested, and believe in their calling to be near auto pilot. The agreement is beyond thorough and these men are empowered in their own accountable journey. The requirements are from long standing learning and show for it! The guys are expected to do the work, but know it's to their gain! Re: the homes. We were, briefly, in 1 sober living before. It was somber and desolate feeling. I toured another, more costly than Hensley House, and it was nice/fair but not nearly as clean or "home" as any 1 of the 3 Hensley House homes. I did say "home" because it is palpable from the first step in the door. The guys have more than enough to feel home. Clean... I mean clean from a mother. Comforts all as a true home. The backyard renovations (3 yards connected) are a vision coming true. Outdoor living as anyone would love. 2 pools, a bridge over connection, basketball court, TV, grills, outdoor seating, and more. Indoor pool tables, shuffleboard, game systems, etc. Fully ready to live in besides clothing and food. The beds are comfortable and fully dressed with so many pillows. Shared refrigerator for 2 residents each. Own gym equipment. My son was in house 1 and now is in 2. All amazing and worth it. We'll drive out of town for him to be in Hensley House and the guys there. True camaraderie and transparency in working the steps. They are brothers living life in recovery. They keep each other on their phones and reach out without a hiccup. That's what my son did, called one of the guys from before when we drove up. The joy in his voice to return back home with Patrick and the guys.... priceless. Much love to Hensley House! Patrick Hensley and all his supporting network, the house mangers, and the guys there - praying for every single one of you.

My son has been at Hensley House for two months to date. I spoke to Patrick Hensley about the…read moretruths of my son's journey, from a father's standpoint, and he responded with all familiarity. We are in a club that nobody wants to be a part of, but now we are amongst peers and friends joined by our loved ones that are working on long-term recovery. At first, I had my reservations given our past with the unrelentless wrath of addiction. Speaking to my son now (since being at Hensley House), I know he is doing well and happy. Hensley House met my son right where he was at, with his own choice to continue in successful recovery. The men at the house share in brotherly love and vulnerable truths. Hensley House is not the "fixer of all," but they sure are well versed at what they know. My son struggles as the rest, but overall is thriving away from home - supported from afar. An analogy I give about Hensley House (for those who are unfamiliar with sober living), is that our son sustained an incomplete spinal cord injury with the potential to walk again. His cells, body memory, muscles, and whole body need to be retrained to learn to walk again. Patrick Hensley and the house managers run alongside as guides along the parallel bars while these men slap leg braces on their debilitated legs and work on holistic recovery. This is not your everyday sober living. Successful placement is crucial to recovery as the preliminary stages are fragile. If possible, put Hensley House in your loved one's tool belt! Patrick and the house managers quickly respond to any communication sent. I have more peace of mind while my son is at Hensley House and our family can realign ourselves. For my wife, "hard" was not the word to describe not being able to bring our son home. A struggling child/loved one not being able to come home? Yes. Not yet...and that is where Hensley House stepped in to tend to the disease of our son that has afflicted our family. As loved ones, we learned QUICKLY that we are not skilled/prepared to take on rehabilitating our son from residential treatment and years of addiction. Patrick and the men serving Hensley House journeyed these torrential waters far before themselves. They now pay forward into others struggling. My son is happy, healthy, and on his way to meeting his desire to grow as a young independent man. As a dad, thank you Hensley House.
