Review for Recovery Ventures Corporation, Black Mountain, NC, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

My name is Kyle, I walked into R.V.C. on June 26th, 2008. I had a shattered life, I was broken, mind, body and soul. I had used drugs since I was 12 years old until then age of 24. Most notable was a hard opiate addiction. I had been to 30 day programs, jail, detox, 12 step programs. Nothing had worked for me. R.V.C. changed my life. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. Nothing happens for anyone overnight. Change comes from hard work, dedication, and willingness. I finished the program in two years. I didn't get my life back, I got a better life that I didn't even know existed. I am still active in A.A. I have been clean now for five years. I have a wonderful life, not only for myself but I provide for my family. What I received from Recovery Ventures Corporation was more than just another chance at life. You can not put a price on Recovery from Addiction. When I was at R.V.C. one thing was for sure many people gave up and didn't find recovery. Nothing worth doing is easy. I would never want to go back to what I was before going into this program, and not a day goes by that I don't think about how it has helped me. Also This is not just a two year program. As a graduate I have spent many days in this community, giving back what was so freely given to me. Many Thanks, to R.V.C.

Oh and just as a foot note I have read a lot of negative reviews. It makes sense, because drug addicts will embellish the truth to make themselves a victim. I know from experience. So for all the people who are downing this program, "It didn't work", "It's the programs fault", "It was horrible torture", sure but the drug life doesn't have any negative effects. Give me a break. Anyone can leave the program at any time, there are no walls. no one was abused when I was there, it is a no touch program. It is not for everyone, but how much do you know if you were there for a week, a month, two months. Recovery takes time, a lot of time. Even after completing two years I stayed around for another year. Best thing that has happened to me.
