I was referred by my current AA sponsor to come to Avenues Recovery center for continued treatment after my detoxification program. When I arrived I had no clue what it would be like but I knew I needed a change and Avenues gave me exactly that. From the start everyone, clients included, were so friendly and welcoming. At first it was a tough transition because it was new to me but everyone there provided me with a comfortable environment from which to start my process of healing. When I was finally brought to the residence they provide I was surprised. The house was HUGE! and their was so much room to stretch out and get comfortable (there is also a pool which I took full advantage of when it opened up in the summer). At first I was apprehensive because I was not used to living with other people but everyone welcomed me with open arms and a true sense of empathy for someone new coming in and starting this process. There was also plenty of food options at the house and the housing staff worked with my dietary needs as my diet changed. The daily groups provided me with a safe place to learn and share about my experiences. The clinical staff was amazing and went above and beyond to get me prepared for the real world.

Avenues Recovery center is a remarkable destination for anyone seeking treatment from the disease of addiction. I first arrived at avenues a year ago completely broken and hopeless. Living a productive life seemed nearly impossible until i walked through their doors. During my stay at Avenues, I learned how to have fun in my sobriety, I was able to get my self esteem back, and let go of all the shame and guilt I carried as a result of my addiction. I have to thank the staff at Avenues for believing in me when i couldn’t believe in myself. The clinical team is amazing, I’m forever grateful for Warren, Bob, and Mike, Three counselors that are willing to bend over backwards for their clients. Any issues i encountered during my stay, were immediately handled by the clinical director Joseph Sass, He does an extraordinary job overseeing the facility and putting the clients needs first. I recommend Avenues recovery center to anyone struggling with addiction, and ready to start a better life.

Avenues Recovery Center is an amazing place to get your life together. With beautiful facilities and housing for their clients, transportation, housing, 12 steps meetings and trips to awesome attractions. The housing staff makes their clients feel comfortable and welcome. The clinical staff varies from mental health to all types of addiction. I highly recommend Avenues to all people who really want to give themselves a shot and get better one day at a time.
