Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Blairstown, NJ

Alina Lodge

Alina Lodge saved both my mother’s and my daughter’s life. My mother attended Alina Lodge in 1982 when she was in the last stage of cirrhosis of the liver. She completed the program and stayed happily sober for 20 years until her death. I attended the week long family program in 1982 and learned about the disease of alcoholism. My daughter attended Alina in 2016 and today has 3 1/2 years sobriety. I would highly recommend Alina Lodge because they focus on a 12 step recovery program which lays the foundation for life long recovery after the patient leaves rehab. Both my mother and daughter had been thru multiple treatment programs prior to going to Alina Lodge. The truth is that it takes a lot of time to recover. The body heals first but the mind and spirit take longer. Short term 28 day programs are not enough time for the alcoholic to start being honest and willing to look at their lives. The staff at Alina Lodge has been there a long time which tells me they have much needed experience and that it is a nice place to work. Many rehabs have high staff turnovers. Experience in the field of addiction is critical and most rehab centers do not have experienced staff. Alina Lodge has been in the business a long time which means they have run a successful treatment program. It really is a one of a kind rehab where the student gets highly personalized attention in a very structured environment. Structure is critical to recovery. Everyone at Alina Lodge knew my daughter by name and everyone helped her to recover. There were family sessions and several extended family weekends where we stayed at Alina and worked with a family therapist to mend our broken family. Alina encouraged my husband and I to get involved in Alanon and work our program. Most importantly, Alina listened and provided suggestions which helped us rebuild trust in the family. Dealing with addiction is painful for the patient/student and the family. Alina understands this pain and helps the student and the family take the action necessary to walk thru the pain and come out the other side. Both my mother and daughter had a clear treatment path when they graduated from the treatment. Alina referred my daughter to a sober living community for women where she continued to work on her recovery. Sober living was an important transition from Alina. If you or your loved one are serious about recovery, Alina Lodge is the best place. There simply are not many long term recovery programs-and recovery does take a long time. So many rehabs advertise yoga, meditation, massages etc... but these things won’t keep you sober. Alina offers a way of living and recovering that really works.
