History

Established in 2012.

Juan E. Lesende established Adaptive Center and its parent company Dylus, Inc.

He is the driving force behind both.

It was necessary that the treatment center not be divorced from a realistic recovery living environment. The city location is a crucial part of our addiction and mental health treatment. It allows clients to successfully live free from drugs, alcohol, and the symptoms of anxiety and depression that often accompany the illness of addiction; while still engaging in the community and facing the pressures of everyday life.

Juan E. Lesende established Adaptive Center and its parent company Dylus, Inc.

Born in Cuba, Lesende first realized he wanted to study psychology while sitting in detention in his high school library. A book on careers pointed him in this direction. Though he felt lost up to that point in his life, he had the very deep feeling that he, one day, wanted to practice psychology. Following the advice of influential male figures in his life, he attempted to study business. After a failed attempt to do so, he dropped out. Juan later went back to school to follow his correct path.

In a beginning psychology class, he was introduced to Gestalt Therapy. He asked the professor if anyone locally practiced it. He was directed to John Heider, a student of the founder of Gestalt, Fritz Perls. «He was the first man I met that I really, really wanted to be like,» Juan says. «He was like nobody else that I’d met before. He was liberal, open-​minded, and centered.» He
