It is certainly no surprise that we, the Remuda Ranch staff, believe 100% in the quality of our eating and anxiety treatment. Fortunately, many referring professionals agree. They frequently contact us to report on the positive progress made by Remuda Ranch patients, once they have returned home. What is less expected, but even more valuable, is the number of messages, emails and letters we routinely receive from former patients and their families. Often, women and girls tell us how well they are doing, how their lives have turned around, and how thankful they are for the time spent at Remuda Ranch. Perhaps the most touching are the letters from parents. Many thought their daughters would be forever lost to an eating disorder, but now they have them back, healthy and strong.
Because these messages are so meaningful to us, we thought we might share some of them with you.

"I really miss the people. The girls and the staff are the most accepting and loving people I have ever met in my life. I also miss our conversations. We were always being silly. The staff and the girls. We were all so positive. The staff turns into second moms/grandmas. I also miss watching movies. We watched Tuck Everlasting too many times to even count! Remuda was such a safe place." - Former Patient

"So I began to think about Recovery today and thought of RR. I miss everything about Remuda. The pain it took to heal, the tears I shed to laugh, the resistance to get to determination. I remember the hurt but I can feel the happiness I left with! Without the staff and [Remuda Ranch] program I never would have come this far. You gave me a straight road to follow and the tools to get back on if I fell off. Thank you!" - 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.

It's exciting to accept myself!" - Sandy, Former Patient
"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.

"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.

"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." - Former Patient's Family
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 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.

"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
