To understand the areas in which your treatment center is excelling as well as opportunities for improvement, it is crucial to benchmark your performance against that of similar treatment centers.  To make this easy to do, Vista regularly publishes the norms for centers in the Vista Research Network. 

Between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2023, Vista monitored the progress of 1,438 adolescents throughout their treatment at short-term SUD treatment centers promoting abstinence.
