When you are putting money into a family member’s health and well-being, you should make sure you’re making the best decision for your Fork drug and alcohol abuse rehabilitation program. While the smartest course of action may still be to dial our helpline experts so they can discuss your specific needs, looking at the ratings and reviews on some of the addiction recovery facilities in or around you is another excellent place to get started.
Recovery.org is owned and operated by American Addiction Centers (AAC). AAC is a leading rehabilitation provider, offering all levels of care from detox to sober living, including 9 inpatient facilities nationwide.
I'll start by saying the Oaks Recovery Center saved my son's life. Our family was introduced to addiction about 10 years ago. My wife and I were clueless. We had no idea how to deal with this terrible disease, but through trial and error we quickly learned what worked and what didn't for our son. He has been to facilities in Florida, Georgia and Alabama and was never able to "connect". Some were fancy, expensive facilities and some were hospital type facilities with locked doors. The Oaks offers an open environment. No locked doors. He connected and built relationships that helped him grow as a person. They are very involved in the community and they helped him find a job and provided the transportation. It helped him build self confidence and a sense of worth. The 12 step program that they offer and the fellowships that were made have continued to help him in his recovery. The initial entry cost is very affordable compared to the other facilities he went to. I've read some of the other reviews and I agree it's not the Hilton, but it's a clean sober environment and better than some of the rat holes he was affiliated with in the past. The facility continues improve and grow. My wife and I have visited the Oaks many times since my sons commencement, which has been almost 18 months, for different events like Thanksgiving, family meals and New Years fireworks and have met a lot addicts. We have always been welcomed and have built relationships with some of the residents. They are not bad people but sick people that need help. This disease does not discriminate. It touches all walks and no one's immune. We've known some that have walked away and some that have died but I believe that the majority are there because they want to live. They want to end the vicious cycle they're in and I will continue to help where I can to fight this horrible disease.
Everyone treated me with love and compassion. I felt like i was surrounded by family. It wasn't always easy but it was exactly what I needed to get sober and stay sober. This place focuses on the real solution and how to maintain it!
This place has done nothing short of save my life. When I came in not only was I heartbroken from a deep level of grief, but I was completely broken as a person. I had chosen drugs to try to fill the massive hole in my life. I had no idea how to accept the mistakes I had made or the person I had become I couldn't be there for myself let alone my family.. The staff not only has taught me how to begin to love my self again but how to successfully live the life I have always wanted. All though its a life long commitment I thought I would never be able to make and keep, for the first time in my life I see a future that I want, I actually see me being happy. The staff Loved me till I could love my self and how to love the people around me. They also taught me how to live life on life's terms. I have gained a family I never expected to actually be a part of, I wouldn't have had a future with out them. If you feel lost like only an addict or alcoholic can all this place requires is to just be willing to think maybe this can work for you. They will do the rest
