Recovery Place Inc

I have been attending Recovery Place for 4 weeks. I love my counselor and am learning how to live life sober. I have had 3 asthma attacks, the flu and opened up about my painful past. I haven't had to drink over any of it. I will say that there are a few members of the ...staff who seem to be jaded, suspicious and sarcastic. The man in charge especially. I was having an asthma attack in the lobby and tearful because I could not afford the inhaler for another 3 days. He said,"You could afford water." The water was given to me by a friend and probably cost less than 50 cents. Wall Mart doesn't have the 4$ program for the medicine I require anymore. The medication is 45 dollars plus tax. He apparently is the CEO. He does not know me or my life's circumstances or that I am at Recovery Place voluntarily to deal with PTSD from a horrifying event in 2008. He doesn't know that it took everything in me to drive to Recovery Place while I could barely breathe because I didn't want to miss group. Read More

I love the recovery place-i feel like they are kinda like my family. My counselor, Mrs. Devita is the best. She listens to us, and she really, really cares about us. And the girls in my group are really supportive and caring

After spending my 8 weeks in the voluntary outpatient program for drug and alcohol abuse I learned who I was, why I made the choices I made, who not to blame and very educational realizations of what the addition did to me mentally and physically. I came out with highe...r values, strong determination to stay sober and how much better life will be. The staff lead the way, but the group sessions were where it all took place. Honesty,humility, objectivity, compassion,serinity, courage and wisdom, gave me the foundation to start a new life, sober, one day at a time. Read More
