My Nonprofit Reviews

I can honestly say Recovery ventures saved my life. Upon entering the program I was asked if I was willing to do whatever it takes for my recovery, I was. You have to want your recovery and work as hard for it as you did out in the streets trying to get that next fix or that next drink. being an addict I was willing to go through any lengths to get what I needed when I was caught in the grips of active addiction. I knew that it was time for me to surrender and actually put in an effort for my recovery not only for myself but for my 3 children. I graduated the program in March of 2013. I'm working on 5 years clean. I now have my 3 kids in my life and couldn't be happier. if it wasn't for those long hours, early mornings and late nights that I worked at recovery ventures then I wouldn't know how to live being a single mom of three working full time. this program taught me how to live life all over again without the use of drugs or alcohol. yes it was the hardest thing I've ever done but it was well worth it if it wasn't for recovery ventures I'd be dead or in jail. all these bad comments and negative reviews really make me angry. most of the people commenting negatively are ones that chose to break the rules and tried to manipulate the program. all the rules are explained before you arrive and they tell you straight up that you're not coming for a vacation to a fancy resort, you come to work not only at jobs but on yourself. most of the people I know that left the program speak of it negatively because they didn't want to face the accountability for their actions they try to play the victim. recovery ventures is in the business of saving lives. the staff will do anything they can to help you if you just ask. I'm so grateful for this program it made me the strong woman I am today. I made so many lifelong friendships met so many strong beautiful people and learned so many life lessons and so much about myself that I didn't even know. I have relationships with old friends and family that I thought I would never have again.
