Our daughter spent 72 days in rehab under the direct care of Nathan Fears. Nathan saved our daughters life. I will forever be in his debt. Our daughter was in Florida with Nathan and we flew from Connecticut. I can tell you that we are very over protective of our daughter and it was very scary to leave her so far away. The moment I met Nathan all my anxiety disappeared. This man is brilliant at what he does. A miracle worker in the respect that with his training and rehabilitation, he managed to change us as parents as well. He showed us what we needed to do to insure that our daughter have the support and guidelines she needed. I am proud to say that she has been clean from all drugs and alcohol for 14 months. She is applying to the colleges of her dreams and back to being an excellent student. The distance was absolutely the best thing for our daughter. Do not hesitate to consider this center even if it is far from home. I am happy to talk to anyone that may want to know more and Nathan has our contact information. Nathan has become part of our family. He checks in with us and we check in with him. With Nathan you not only get an educated, dedicated and loving director, you get a friend for life. UPDATE: She is now a spiritual and healing therapist and womens healthcare advocate.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a child and adolescent psychiatrist with specialty certification in addiction psychiatry and have known Mr. Fears since 1985. At that time I was the medical director who hired Nathan as clinical director to establish an inpatient adolescent dual- diagnosis program at Fair Oaks Hospital, Summit, New Jersey. From the beginning, Nathan has shown unique and outstanding clinical skills and a level of understanding of treating adolescent addictions that I have not seen equaled anywhere.

He helped me to establish the adolescent center for chemical education, prevention and treatment at Fair Oaks Hospital which included all the difficulties of startup — policy and procedure development, budgeting, staff hiring, training, supervision, day-to-day operations, liaison with hospital owners, licensing issues and J. C. A. H. O. accreditation, marketing, and public relations. He showed great skills and conflict resolution managing unexpected and severe setbacks, even what could’ve been considered disasters. He demonstrated great success in clinical care and expansion of services during the time we worked together in that program until 1989. Since then, I have continued to have contact with Nathan and have seen him expand his interests, skills, and as I have always been amazed, his locations. Despite his focus on management, he has always continued to show extreme interest, compassion, and dedication to individual adolescents and their families in pursuing successful treatment for difficult situations. His ability to see the full picture of needs, services and environment of care for addictions services and adolescence is outstanding. And I will finally add his ability to accomplish these activities is always done with the most straight forward, accepting, and matter-of-fact attitude, and focused intention, he has always been a pleasure to work with.

Sincerely,

I have worked with and known Nathan Fears for 20 years. He was the program director of the Fair Oaks hospital adolescent drug and alcohol treatment program in New Jersey where I served as a drug therapist.We have developed a personal and professional relationship. He has served as a mentor and friend. He has helped me with clients as well as family members. I have two beautiful healthy boys who have never been involved with drugs or alcohol. If there was a problem at anytime with either of them, I would contact Nathan at once. I would trust my boy’s lives with him.

Sincerely,
