If you are investing in a family member’shealth and future, you need to make sure you’re making the best possible decision for your Fowler alcohol and drug addiction rehabilitation facility. While the best thing to do may still be to speak to our helpline experts so they can discuss your specific needs, checking out the reviews and ratings for some of the addiction recovery clinics in or around you is another excellent place to begin.

AIM is a good program with quality staff that understands the struggles and needs of its participants. I feel like I personally gained and learned more about myself during my time as a participant there than I did in my primary care. However; the program is only really suited to help those who WANT to be there. Many participants who "checked out" or saw it as a temporary stop before returning to their everyday lives seem to have struggled after leaving the program. They didn't take things like groups seriously and made little effort actually to improve themselves while being there, and my most considerable criticism of their work is that they do not try to change this mentality while there. It makes it harder for those who are actually trying to gain something from the experience when half the participants spend nearly every day criticizing the program simply because they do not want to be there or do not wish to be sober. That being said, for those who take advantage of all AIM has to offer, I can't think of a better place to transition back into the world. Many staff members have been through treatment themselves and work to help participants navigate the world post-treatment as well as provide them with numerous resources to help them succeed in their time after leaving AIM, everything from helping participants get into college, helping them with job placement, and continuing mentorship and therapy after leaving if they so choose. It has been some time since I was there myself, so it is possible things have changed in terms of the attitudes of participants, but I'll always be grateful for my time there. I believe if it wasn't for AIM supporting and encouraging me the way they did at such a critical point in my life I would have been a lot worse off today.
I was a client at Rites of Passage several years ago. They were amazing and helped me with my eating disorder and addiction problems when no one else could. I learned how to work through a lot of trauma and handle life much better. The program was vastly different than a 12 step program I had attended previously. Rites worked for me, the other place failed miserably. In addition to learning to understand myself, it was fun but also interesting to work with horses to see my progress and help me learn a different way. I also liked having therapy dogs in all of the sessions. Rites helped me realize what I wanted to do in life and helped with the processes of applying to schools so that I could finish my college degree. Thanks to this program, I am happy and I am living a life I never knew was possible.
My experience at CeDAR was nothing short of exceptional. The staff was truly caring, compassionate and genuinely concerned with my successful recovery from the disease of addiction. The accommodations, food and physical fitness facility were of excellent quality and the grounds upon which the facility is situated was peaceful and allowed me to focus on my treatment in a calm and undisturbed manner. I was also a client in the Residential Extended Care program after my Inpatient experience and the program was a true catalyst in facilitating my gradual reintegration back into normal every day life in a safe, secure environment that provided me the support to deal with the issues in transitioning that are often the causes of relapse in the early recovery process. The Alumni Recovery Support services provided me the opportunity and resources to stay connected to the recovery process through educational, recreational and individual support engagement once I left the residential setting. What resonated with me the most was that at no time did I feel like a \'patient\'. The staff treated me with dignity and respect as an equal that was seeking help. I am truly grateful that I had the opportunity to be a client of the CeDAR addiction treatment program.
