CLIENT TESTIMONIALS Working with Vida Wellness Recovery Services

“We have had a few sober coaches for our daughter over the years and Micaela is head and shoulders above the rest. I would consider Micaela more of a life coach. She has been through this journey herself and is a wise and respected guide on the journey through a sober life. We consider Micaela an integral piece to the success our daughter has had in reclaiming her life. She is a great guide; not only for our daughter, but also for us as parents trying to do and say the right things through this process. We would highly recommend Micaela if you are in need of a sober/life coach.”

- Curt R., Parent

“I enthusiastically recommend Nick Hurwitz to anyone who is serious about finding sobriety. I believe that he saved my son's life and is now a lifelong friend. My son's situation was complicated and included some serious health issues. Nick's approach was comprehensive, addressing every aspect of my son's life, giving him the tools and skills for a successful, independent future. Nick has found the right balance between empathy and accountability. He understands the complicated family dynamics that impact the lives of those seeking sobriety. He is patient, kind, knowledgeable and has loads of personal experience that he readily shares when needed. He is incredibly reliable and truly cares about the people he works with. If you have the opportunity to work with this individual, grab that chance and don't look back!”

- Laurie M., Parent

“I’m a heroin addict that has been clean and sober for a little over two years. Nick was my sober coach following treatment and has done a lot for me while in care and after. He helped coordinate my probation officer and stayed on top of my court stuff with me. Nick never gave up on me and continued to help along the way out of the goodness of his heart. He held me accountable and told me the truth. I am super grateful to have been in his care.”

- Daniel L., Client

"I’ve worked with Nick on a multidisciplinary clinical treatment team for more than 3 years now and recommend his sober coaching services. Nick gets to know his clients well and is invested in their well being and successful recovery. He is a team player and will collaborate day and night with staff and families to ensure a client is safe at all times. He has walked the walk of both addiction and recovery and consistently demonstrates his ongoing commitment to helping others."

"Micaela is a go-to resource for me in working with complex mental health and substance use cases. I am consistently impressed with the time, talent, and effort she pours into every client, family, and professional she works with. Micaela is relatable, professional, and accessible, and she practices her craft with integrity. Her incredible ability to assess the needs of a client and their family makes her a wonderful coach, advisor, and interventionist who delivers consistent and positive results."

"Having worked hundreds of cases with Nick and Micaela, there are no two professionals in the SUD industry that I would trust more with the highest quality of client care. Constantly willing to cater to the need of clients while staying centered in client care, the work they are doing with Vida Wellness Group will shape the standard that we set on recovery support forever."

- Santi Sustaeta, LCDC(CI)

“Watching your child suffer with the disease of addiction is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do as a parent. Resolving my heart and my head would have been impossible without the wisdom and guidance of Micaela. Her compassionate approach, her calm in the storm of crisis, and her genuine desire to help both my child and our family through the journey of addiction has been invaluable. I am forever grateful for her presence in all of our lives.”
