Making A Tough Decision
The decision to send your child off to treatment may be one of the most difficult decisions a parent may have to make. Parents wonder: “Am I doing the right thing?”, “Will my child be safe?”, “Can I trust the staff at NVW?”.
At NVW we take the care, safety, and well being of your son/daughter very seriously. We consider it an honor to have the opportunity to work with families, and to be part of the healing process. Our Admissions Team is available to help discuss this difficult decision.
All parents receive a Parent Guide upon child’s admission
Food Report
NVW knows the importance of having a balanced menu for a healthy body and mind. We believe proper nutrition not only has a positive effect on a students health but also on behavior. Students are provided plenty of whole grains and a variety of protein sources, and limited amounts of refined sugars or processed foods. Fresh fruit and vegetables are also brought in weekly to ensure that nutrient needs are being met. Students are taught how to plan and prepare meals for the entire group.
