The staff, as well as the community, welcomed me with open arms, and I was shocked to feel such love and care coming from a rehabilitation center. Throughout my stay, I was consistently checked on, worked with, and felt prioritized by every member of the staff. They do extremely well at keeping the community aspect here open-minded and welcoming, as well as friendly. I can not speak for any other treatment center, but I can say with certainty that coming here was the best decision I have ever made for myself. read less

this recovery center was a pleasant surprise form the previous rehab I had been to. the staff was great and the community was better than expected.

Avenues keeps clients engaged throughout their treatment process and that is evident in the results. I have recommended Avenues to countless people, and the long term sobriety consistently achieved there speaks for itself.

On a personal level... Ryan, Justin, and the rest of the dedicated men and women working here are truly heroes of the treatment community. They work hard everyday and love what they do.

I whole heartedly recommend Avenues Recovery to anyone seeking help with substance use disorder. read less

I've been to plenty of detox and rehab centers, that were absolutley terrible, had professionals that treated me like an inmate, and overall just made me want to use as soon as I got out of those places. I can happily say, this place changed all of that perspective for me! The amount of space to walk around, and clear your mind is amazing. There's a basketball court, volleyball sand pit, and they let you go out alot (atleast in 2018 they did). The counselors, and doctors that are always around to help you when needed were amazing. Your case worker was always on call, to help you financially whenever you want!

The only issue I ran into, was waiting to see a psychiatrist, in order to get the proper medication, or even the medications I was on at the time. It does take a couple days (again atleast back in 2018, they may have hired more now) But other than that understandable issue, this place was the one place that had the right atmosphere, professionals, and people in recovery around, too finally get me on the path I needed to be on.

I'm here to post a positive reply, since I have negative reviews of other health facilities that are money grab institutions (like Fairmount Behavioral Health) that are absolute hells of rehab centers. If you want to know what a bad rehab sounds like, go read my review on those rehab centers.

I'm happy to say I'm now 3 years clean as of 5/19/21! Thank you everyone at Valley Forge, and I hope anyone reading this gets the help they need to save their own life, like this place saved mine. read less

The combination of caring staff, motivated peers, family involvement, and strong AA network was what I needed to get started on my recovery journey. The personalized care I received at inpatient drug rehabilitation was exactly what I needed to begin to heal myself. I will forever be grateful for the compassion and grace I was shown by Avenues, it was where I started my life over again. read less

Being my first time in treatment, the experience here was amazing. My peers here who have been to other treatment centers and I could both agree 100% that this is by far one of the best rehabilitation centers. All the staff are friendly, and they go above and beyond to take care of all your needs. The small community makes it easy to be open and honest, which makes the beginning of recovery much easier. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, give Avenues a call, they will not disappoint. read less
