This program is phenomenal!! I feel like I finally have the knowledge and tools to be successful in my continued sobriety. I thank God every day for guiding me out of the terrible darkness Into the light. I have hope for the first time in years.
Don't go anywhere else! Wish I could have stayed longer
I spent many years wallowing in my addiction to alcohol. Buried in self-pity, defeated, and attempting to avoid reality at all costs. This separated me from friends, family, and God. I did not get sober my first try. I had the distinct privilege to attend one of the best rehab facilities in the country, however, I did not stay sober after the “best treatment” in the country. I entered broken and terrified, but I knew that I needed help to recapture my life. The staff was immediately helpful and compassionate. They understood my pain and could relate to my fears and struggles. I am almost two years sober now, and have had the opportunity to be present with my mother as she battles cancer. Believe me my mom is forever grateful to Endeavor House and the staff. They returned her son.
