Our Philosophy
BlueCrest believes that successful treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring disorders must address the maladies of the mind, body, and spirit. Our truly holistic approach relies on our staff’s extensive knowledge of evidence-based practices to individualize each treatment plan to meet the specific needs of the client. We also believe that any treatment that does not fully integrate 12-step principles is incomplete. BlueCrest provides education on 12-step programs and requires all clients to develop a recovery network by attending and participating in their local groups and meetings.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide every client with individualized treatment while reinforcing the importance of 12-step recovery and educating them on its principles. Through genuine clinical relationships using the best treatment practices available, our goal is for each client to leave BlueCrest with the foundation needed for long-term, meaningful recovery.
Our Specialized Approach
BlueCrest believes that substance abuse and co-occurring disorders cannot be fully addressed without healing the mind, body, and spirit. BlueCrest’s skilled clinical team is comprised of licensed medical and mental health professionals. Our staff also includes yoga and meditation instructors in addition to our leadership and support team. A cornerstone of BlueCrest’s treatment philosophy is our low client-to-counselor ratio, providing everyone we treat with the personalized therapy and care they both need and deserve.
Clinical
BlueCrest’s clinical team is proficient in providing the most current and reliable treatment modalities. After an assessment, we create a treatment plan consisting of specific therapies to meet a client’s individual needs.

Richard Hession, Chief Executive Officer
Letter from the CEO
“My life drastically changed as a result of following directions. As a result of being WILLING to have another person guide me towards real recovery, I went from being practically homeless, unemployable, and unwelcome to family and friends to owning several homes, holding prestigious jobs on Wall Street, and mending the broken ties that I had created during the darkest moments of my life.” – Richard Hession
Everyone there is super kind, they make feel like family, they treat you with respect, and they really understand why people come there looking for help.
Every single person there is special. From the nurses, to the people to lead the group sessions, to the kitchen and the cleaning staff, everyone is just amazing.
I want to thank them for the experience they gave me, for everything they taught me, and most important, for the love and respect they showed me while I was there.
I'd recommend this place to anyone struggling with addiction. They will help you and truly understand what you are going through.
Thank you BlueCrest for everything you do.

First thing ,talking about employees,is that they showed a lot of understanding which is very important for the first steps at rehab.
I like classes a lot.Not only that I learned a lot but I participated a lot and I was asking the questions.I became open and honest definitely.
All employees gave us support and help.Guys,I love and I respect you all.
You gave us so many tools.
Just to mention one example.
My 6 years old granddaughter wrote in her card “Pop,I am so happy to have you in my life”.She did hit me with the biggest sledgehammer on the earth and woke me up definitely and she made me cry for the first time in my life.
As preschool kid I was macho
kid.So many times I went back home with bloody nose, I didn’t cry,didn’t cry as boy,my parents died,my best friend got killed in car accident, didn’t cry.For me crying was girls thing.It took me 70 years to understand that crying is not about gender,it is abut feelings.
Whole my life I was helping and supporting people.But now I’m on the other side of table.It made me unhappy,insecure.But there was moment that made so happy and proud. I took yoga class and started doing it at home.After couple days Hector joined me and during
one class he said “Predo inspired me to start practicing “. It was such a nice feeling;I am on the both sides of the table.
Thank you so much for giving me all the tools so I can build my building with the help from my family and friends.
I am not religious,I am not spiritual but I can say from the very bottom of my heart
God bless you
