About Vista Taos – Renewal Center Casa Feliz
Casa Feliz, which is a part of the Vista Taos Renewal Center, is a men’s extended care program in Taos, New Mexico. It’s a longer term recovery center where clients can get a chance to use their new recovery tools as they stay focused on their long term healing from addiction.
The program provides numerous amenities for clients, including semi private rooms, three daily meals and membership at a spa and health club. Clients will also get access to therapy and weekly spiritual outings around town. Vista Taos Renewal Center is committed to providing patients with a caring and supportive environment to overcome addiction using best practices.
The goal of the extended care program is to get patients prepared to reintegrate back into their community, their family, and into the workplace. The time that clients will stay in this program can be as little as one month or as much as 12 months depending on individual needs. Patients can begin this program after they’ve completed Vista Taos Renewal Center’s primary treatment program or a similar intervention where the patient was able to achieve four to six weeks of sobriety.
The services that will be a part of the program are individual and group therapy, educational groups, and therapeutic activities and outings. Clients will also participate in work, education and volunteer opportunities as well as 12 step meetings. The facility desires for this program to give patients a chance to re engage with their passions and interests in life. Sponsors and mentors will be available to guide clients throughout the process.
You can tell they place a great emphasis on holistic healing. They incorporate Native American practices into their programs, and their center’s atmosphere conveys a heavy Spanish influence. It’s a great complement to the natural desert landscapes and serene environment.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
