Testimonial
Searched for a way to handle my withdrawals. Many places popped up, but only Avenues really seemed to fully meet my needs. Upon first arrival I was greeted warmly by the staff and other residents. Scared, but felt at home immediately. Food is great, socializing easy and group meeting informative and at time fun. Would definitely recommend if your looking for a pleasant detoxing and recovery experience.

I am celebrating 3 years of sobriety and I owe it all to Avenues. The staff was AMAZING and I still talk to some of them today. I have dietary needs and they always accommodated to those needs. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The individual and group sessions gave me lifelong tools that have helped me stay sober to this day. I have sent two other people here since my stay and they are also sober and living life to the fullest!!! Thank you Avenues for giving me my life back!

I suffered from 30 years of addiction, went to 2 prior rehabs. Just to relapse, my experience at Avenues was different. I received great therapy. Had a music/ frequency session that blew my mind and released a lot of trauma. I met amazing people just like me and still keep in contact with some of them. The techs were so friendly and easy to talk to. They quickly became my friends. My therapist were incredible. I would and do recommend Avenues. They helped change my life for the better. I no longer struggle with addiction. The obsession has been lifted. Thank you Avenues and All the staff there

The thought of treatment scared me, could I even do 15 days sober? The staff was amazing from the moment I arrived! They helped relieve all the stress of going to treatment by explaining everything to me that they were going to do for me. Treatment isn't easy but if you really want to get sober, the staff at Avenues provides you the right knowledge and guide to not only get sober but STAY sober! Overall what i thought was going to be a scary experience turned into the most rewarding 15 days of my life! You can do it too and Avenues will change your life as much as it has changed mine!

I would 100% recommend Avenues to anyone struggling with addiction. They want you not only to get sober but, through their alumni program, they want you to stay sober and are there to help even after leaving treatment. 10/10, A+, and the top of whatever ranking you use

At a time of desperation I made a phone call to Avenues for help. Within a couple hours I was on the road and checked into Treatment at Avenues. No one wants to go to rehab and I sure didn't want to but at a low point the staff welcomed me and made my time comforting. Avenues extends the experience with after care and a great Alumni program... Weekly Zoom meetings and Monthly Alumni get togethers provide stability after inpatient ended. Take a chance and find Sobriety!
