If you are putting money toward a family member’s health and happiness, you should make sure you’re making the best possible choice for your Lexington alcohol and substance abuse rehabilitation clinic. While the smartest course of action may still be to call our hotline experts so they can discuss your specific needs, looking at the reviews and ratings for some of the addiction recovery facilities in or around your area is another great way to begin.
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 had returned after a brief relapse that almost cost me my life. Going back to CDAP made me feel safe and allowed me to clear my head long enough to make a new plan and get things in order before I left. I am about to celebrate 4 years clean and sober in August. I am so thankful they were there for me. I now volunteer there as a peer counselor and I teach yoga to the detox patients on the weekends.
This is a Christian based program. I was skeptical, in fact I had friends from AA tell me because this was not a 12 step program that they were probably going to try to talk me into Jesus instead of AA. I didn't care. I was desperate. Truly my life changed there. Yes, I relapsed when I re-entered the world, but the depth of the faith that was begun while at Grace Home allowed me to be picked back up and then completely healing. 25 years of drinking, battling, struggling- completely taken, gone, lifted, no more. Those 10 weeks were intense and invaluable. It changed my life. This was not a 12 step program, rather spiritual.
I owe it all to OAKS and God! BOTH SAVED MY LIFE! I know that I have read some of the reviews from people on here that are unsavory as well as negative however I would like to share my experience with OAKS. Sure there are options you may see on TV commercials for these high price high end options for treatment and correct you will not find that at the OAKS, however let me share why this is an ASSET. You see OAKS taught me many things that I lost care and concern for while in active addiction. At OAKS we had to be re-taught and re-acclimated into becoming productive, responsible and accountable adults into society. We had to clean our own rooms vs. concierge maid service and this retaught me self-respect and self-worth and responsibility. When at OAKS we had to prepare our own food for ourselves as well as the others vs. room service or restaurant style dining, this re-taught us again simple task of being self-sufficient as well as caring for others and responsibility of meeting the needs of others and not just ourselves selfishly. When at OAKS we are required to make our beds every morning and this taught me as what my bed really meant to me and to embrace it as a blessing to after so long in addiction to actually have something to call my own, my own bed. At OAKS you have to rise early, attend group meetings, do chores for the household and this re-taught me discipline with time, punctuality and accountability which are all things I lost while in active addiction. At OAKS they loved me the moment I got off the bus ( which in fact they accomadated me by picking me up once I arrived in Greenwood) OAKS loved me when I literally no longer even loved myself. The Staff at OAKS and the others there in recovery ALWAYS no matter what were there for me and others literally 24 hours a day 7 days a week whenever we needed someone to talk to, struggled with sobriety related issues or just needed assurance in our learning process and walk towards sobriety. I wouldn't trade my experience at OAKS for a million dollar treatment facility or for a million dollars cash at that! So I urge anyone reading the reviews that come across some of the sour ones to stop and think about all the positive ones praising this place, in my opinion as I know some of the ones that wrote the negative ones also did not adhere nor embrace the guidelines of OAKS and like any experience in life you can only get out of it WHAT you put into it. So to be honest OAKS saved my LIFE! and I am writing this review today with a clean and sober date of 1 year, 1 month and 15 days, and pray that others get the blessing I have received I owe it all to OAKS and to GOD!
