ABOUT MFI RECOVERY CENTER – LA VISTA RECOVERY AND WELLNESS CENTER
Established in 1972, MFI Recovery Center is a nonprofit organization that provides a comprehensive range of treatment services for adults, women with children, and adolescents.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Upon admission, clients at La Vista Recovery and Wellness Center undergo an initial assessment, which shapes their personalized treatment plan. The treatment approach at the center integrates the Matrix Model, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and 12-step facilitation. Clients participate in a structured schedule of individual, group, and family counseling sessions to address underlying factors contributing to addictive behavior. The program is specifically tailored to address the unique needs of women struggling with substance abuse, with a focus on trauma-related issues such as physical or sexual abuse, PTSD, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with stress. Educational workshops on relapse prevention techniques are also incorporated into the Matrix Model. Additionally, the program integrates the principles and practices of the 12-step model of recovery, providing clients with access to on-site and off-site 12-step meetings, fellowship literature, and coursework. Dually diagnosed individuals may receive psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management. To support clients’ transition back into the community, comprehensive discharge plans are created, which may include referrals to sober housing, community-based resources, outpatient programs, and other aftercare support services.
