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 January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2023, Vista monitored the progress of 4,656 adults throughout their treatment at behavioral treatment centers. Each of these patients were also screened for substance use disorder and, if they were found to have at least a moderate SUD, were monitored for this also.
Additionally, Vista has followed up post-treatment with over 2,000 adult behavioral patients who were in treatment between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2023. This includes 1,045 adult patients whom we attempted to contact at 12 months post-treatment.
