Patient Testimonials

“Being at Remuda was the first time in my life that I have found love and acceptance just for being me. There were no titles, performances, etc. attached. In spite of my struggle and my weaknesses, the people at Remuda helped me to see that I had value as a person.”

-Former Patient

"Honestly, I cannot rave on more about how much this program has helped my family and I. For the past three years, I have been in and out of hospitals and programs, and have now only been freed from my eating disorder."

-Former Patient

“A few years ago, my world was a haze of misery punctuated by bingeing and purging. I had no hope. I entered treatment at Remuda Ranch. By learning to deal with the pain and find forgiveness, I can now attack the problems, not myself. I am able to enjoy life as a result of digging to the roots of my eating disorder. It’s exciting to accept myself!”

-Sandy Richardson, Former Patient

“Remuda Ranch completely changed my life, in a way I never knew possible. Before I came to the Ranch, my one and only priority in life was to hold onto my eating disorder and eventually achieve my goal of starving myself to death. For years no amount of friends, family, or doctors could make me focus on something else other than death. Every single day I ponder upon what it was about Remuda that changed my life so drastically. I cannot seem to come up with one single answer. EVERYTHING I experienced at Remuda was life-changing for me. I have full confidence that I would not have experienced the same change of heart and amazing healing, at any other treatment facility. At Remuda, the presence of God is absolutely undeniable. And with God's helping hand, miracles are possible. I truly believe that the Christ-like men and women of the Remuda Ranch staff, are God's wonderful blessing to me and other women suffering from this illness. Remuda Ranch is a miracle. Without your help, I never would have attained the peace that I now feel every morning when I wake up. I thank God every day for every dedicated staff member. Thank you for the most amazing experience of my life."

-Julia

"Remuda Ranch saved my life. You provided hope when there was none, shelter from an impenetrable storm, and love when I had none to give. You opened my eyes to a life controlled by me, showed me a way to express myself and recognize my emotions and allowed me to make amends with myself and those negatively affected by my eating disordered behaviors."

-April

"I think you guys have an awesome program and I would highly recommend it. The love I felt at Remuda was amazing. It was a truly awesome experience."

-Tasha

"You have created an amazing program and I will always be grateful for my experience. I honestly thought I would die because of my eating disorder, but Remuda gave me a life to look forward to. THANK YOU! "

Family Testimonials

“Thanks to the recovery our daughter has achieved through the efforts of Remuda’s staff and the grace of God, we now have our daughter back from the darkness that was her eating disorder. We now have the tools to better communicate our feelings and concerns so that we can prevent a relapse and also deal with our issues that are part of “normal adolescence.”

-Former Patient’s Family

"Remuda's program was amazing - better than I could have ever imagined. The therapists are incredible and gentle and insightful and so helpful."

-Former Patient's Mom

"My daughter has been to many programs and this one has benefitted her immensly. She learned a lot and brought back her faith. It has been a perfect place."

-Former Patient's Mom

"A wonderful program. You've hit on the right combination of spirituality, medicine, therapy and science of nutrition. Also, family week was crucial. Keep up the fire."

-Former Patient's Dad

"My daughter came to your facility two years ago when she was anorexic. Things didn’t look good and I felt hopeless. Although this was her first time with the disease it was unbearable. Even though I was raising her Jewish, I knew from the moment I saw and heard about Remuda that this was the place for her … Two years ago I would never have even dreamed that I would be sitting one day listening to my daughter speak in front of 300+ people healthy & hopeful & confident in herself again. She wrote in her speech 'people can take away your house and your possessions but they cannot take away your hope, because without hope there is nothing.' I thank you and everyone there for all that you have done on my daughter’s behalf and every other girl’s behalf. I am so grateful that you were there to welcome her and help her. She is doing so well since she left."

-Former Patient's Mom

"We are so grateful for Remuda! We know that our daughter would not be here today without you! God truly sent you into our lives and we will be forever grateful. Your quality of caring far surpasses anywhere else that we have heard of. Thank you so much for giving us our daughter back. Before you we just had no hope. We tell everyone what a wonderful place Remuda is and give you very high recommendations."

Professional Testimonials

"I have been referring patients to Remuda Ranch for a couple of years now. Before then, I had sent patients for treatment all over the country. Remuda Ranch is the only place where every one of my patients stated they were glad they had gone, even though it was hard work. I have not heard that very often from other facilities. Everyone who works at Remuda Ranch wants to – they understand and respect people who have eating disorders and treat them with the dignity they deserve. Remuda Ranch has very good medical care as well as excellent psychological treatment. Remuda Ranch is also very supportive of families and understands that eating disorders don’t happen in a vacuum. Remuda Ranch’s Family Week is an important part of treatment. Remuda Ranch is the first and last place to think of when someone needs inpatient care."

-Edward P.Tyson MD, Oklahoma City, OK

"I have been sending my patients to Remuda Ranch for 12 years. I refer patients to Remuda Ranch because they offer the most comprehensive program. I really like the results I’ve seen with my patients. The staff at Remuda are warm and nurturing and genuinely care about the patients.”

-Cheryl Wells, MS, LPC

“I run a lot of groups and I’ve seen a lot of patients coming out of treatment programs. I find that Remuda Ranch’s recovery rates are much better than other treatment options. Remuda Ranch’s Family Week and Truth in Love program are beneficial to the recovery of patients, as are the learned cognitive behavioral skills. I have been referring patients to Remuda Ranch since 1992 and the staff is wonderful.”

-Holly Finlay MA, LPCC, CEDS, Albuquerque, NM

"I have been referring patients to Remuda Ranch for four years now and they are simply the best out there -- I don’t refer my patients anywhere else. Remuda Ranch’s staff is capable and very thorough in what they do. It is a special place because of the spiritual component involved and its “Family Week” program. “Family Week” is one of the strongest elements of Remuda Ranch because all aspects causing the eating disorder are examined. Treating eating disorders is complex and Remuda Ranch addresses this well.”

-Beverly Amos, LPC, Norman, OK
