Patient Stories

The Ability to Change and Grow

As a parent with a child at San Marcos Treatment Center, I always knew my child was safe. Being so far away from your child is hard, but knowing my child was in the hands of good staff members who care is comforting to me. My son has learned many things through his treatment plan. The most rewarding thing to see as a mom is him being able to talk about his feelings. San Marcos has made a huge impact not only for my son but our family as well. This is a great facility of great accomplishments. I would say SMTC has the best staff from receptionist to doctors and staff members who care about our loved ones.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for our daughter. She is becoming a different person—a lovely young lady. Every time we see her or talk over the phone, it amazes us how much progress she has made. Thank you again!

I already have recommended San Marcos to a family who is sending their son there. I can't thank you enough for the healthy changes you have encouraged my daughter to make. She was very happy there.

I was extremely pleased with the results of my son's treatment. The word 'miracle' is being used by people that knew him before he went into the program.

Thank you seems so inadequate, for words are hard to express to all of you for seeing my son develop into a mature, responsible and caring son.
