This place saved my life. It saved my family from more heartache, watching me struggle. You and your loved ones can feel safe here. I cannot thank Christine enough. The entire staff embodies compassion, and they speak with honesty. Everyone who works here brings something different and unique to recovery. They inspire you to believe that there is a solution. You'll never feel judged or patronized. My peers and I choose to come here every day because Blue Heron gets it. Even on your hardest days, you can find some inner peace and healing just by sitting out on the river, under the trees, or walking the trails. I was told that 'Blue Heron' symbolizes innate wisdom and strength and that's exactly what I've found during my time here. Grateful is an understatement

This Recovery Center and the staff went beyond anything I could have ever expected to help my son, saved his life. I know this is a life long journey, but there is no comparison to the level of commitment they offer. Words cannot express my gratitude to Bruce, his time and effort spent to help our family, such a blessing.

Blue Heron is amazing the staff and surroundings are very comforting. The staff that work there really want what is best for you

Blue Heron Recovery's program has a wrap-a-round approach that meets the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of it's clients, and their commitment to the solace of recovery is evident in every aspect of their programs. The experienced staff is knowledgeable and well-versed in the most up-to-date treatment for individuals suffering from addiction. The facility is located in the beautiful property, Los Patios, an oasis in the concrete jungle of San Antonio, Texas. Healing the mind, body, and spirit is the core of the program which includes exercise and yoga practices, meditation, group and individual therapy, art, and multitudes of educational classes. Being welcomed with a genuine smile and a sense of belonging makes it feel more like family than a treatment facility. They have programs to meet a variety of client needs and does not adhere to the common cookie cutter programs I have seen at other facilities, but rather tailors individual treatment plans for each client. I could go on and on about the amazing work Blue Heron Recovery does and has done for me and my family. I do not have the words to express the gratitude I have for them and for the blessing they are to the recovery community.

Staff and counselors are very welcoming and helpful! and the facility is clean, on a beautiful property great place to clear your mind. Also beautiful walking trail only moderately busy, great place to ride bikes, jog or walk.

This place is a gem💜 Just today I had the pleasure of touring the grounds and I couldn’t picture a more serene and beautiful ground for the mission Blue Heron strives to achieve. As a person in recovery I can truly relate to the fact that going back to “normal” life is difficult after recovery or while in recovery. It’s easy to appreciate the beauty in this place as it brings normalcy to those who may not experience it like others because of the tendency to use or the desire to. Blue Heron offers a safe environment in which to not only attend IOP classes and PHP but also a place for family education along with a place to enjoy meeting others on the same journey, the journey to recovery. It is certainly a different one for all yet we all can connect at the root. Now for the staff, Dr. Christine Mayer is without a doubt the most relatable psychological expert I have ever met. She has the ability to come down to such a normal level but she is brilliant in both her assessment and her research and development in the treatment and resolution of psychological conditions. Cristal England, the program director is one of the most compassionate people I have ever worked with. After doing so closely for a little over a month I realized I would never again meet a soul as true as hers. She is the type of person who goes out of her way to help you and is like a miracle hug when you need it most :). Both of these ladies are an amazing team and I can vouch for both of them when I give Blue Heron 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
