My Nonprofit Reviews

Life isn't easy; life as an addict isn't life at all. The best you can hope for is surviving. My survival skills had just about run their course when I showed up at RVC. This program offered me a chance to reclaim my life, but more important, RVC gave me respect the day I walked in the door. Don't get me wrong, I had to work each day to keep it, but it is the same in the "real" world. I learned the gifts I was blessed with don't qualify me for handouts...one earns everything of any real value.
Yes, you do work long hours at RVC. Most successful people do work long hours because they know nothing is guaranteed or free.
Yes, you are held accountable for your actions at RVC. I am pretty sure this applies to civilized society as well.
This program isn't for everybody, but it is for people who are serious about getting their lives back. The last question asked of an individual during the interview is " Are you willing to do whatever it takes to get clean/sober?" In fact, the question is usually posed twice to emphasize this.
I will close by saying RVC is the only program I have ever been part of (and trust me, RVC wasn't the first rodeo for this drugstore cowboy) that
1. GIVES you room, board, clothing, transportation, counseling, and therapy
2. Puts you in a safe environment where you have time to truly work on yourself.

Life still isn't easy, but I have the opportunity to endure the struggles and enjoy the fruits of my life because of RVC.
