Charleston Recovery Center

I am truly blessed to be a part of the alumni at Charleston Recovery Center. It was my second time in treatment, terrified, lonely, living a life that was destroying me and all of my relationships. I was given an ultimatum. Go back to treatment for at least 90 days or continue to loose everything in my life. I grew up with an amazing family, unconditional love, support, and amazing childhood. I swore there was no way I could go back to treatment and there was absolutely no way I could go for 90 days! The family at Charleston Recovery Center is something I cannot even put into words. I was able to open up, be honest, listen to others stories . . . And one day, after living the program, trusting and working the program and trusting (again) in my higher powers plan for me, I was able to help newcomers, work with them on their sobriety, working the program, giving back what I was so blessed to receive. The staff is amazing! Lots of tough love, lots of tears, lots of hugs, many conversations with so many in recovery ranging in age from 20 - 70. I am and will forever be grateful to my family for giving me that ultimatum, to Charleston Recovery Center, and to all of those that shared their stories, worked the program along side of me and helped me finally have some belief in myself. After leaving treatment, COVID hit. AA meetings, NA meetings, etc, etc, were closed. This is devastating to anyone in recovery. The staff at Charleston Recovery Center started a group chat on Facebook, offered meetings online and, of course, continued to provide amazing support for anyone and everyone. I was blessed to have Jett and Candace as sponsors. And I’ve been blessed to continue to be in contact with so many that I went through with in the program. There is no bond like the bond we share. There is no greater gift than sobriety, working the program, and having so many people that I can call or text at anytime and they are there. Thank you Jett, Candace, Jessica, Liz, Farrah, Thomas, Ryan, Jen OG . . . I know I’ve left out names but thank you Charleston Recovery Center! I am eternally grateful and I love you all so big! ❤️

I can never thank Jennifer, the staff, Alex Allen, Dillon’s mentors and friends at Charleston Recovery Center and God enough for saving my son’s life. For 12+ years, and thousands of hours of me spending day after day, and night after night staying awake to watch him, making sure he was breathing, I’d accepted the fact that it was likely we would celebrate his life at his funeral, and now we get to celebrate his life, his future and his sobriety in just 6 more days. Thank you Charleston Recovery Center for this most precious and priceless gift! I’ve always known Dillon has a servant’s heart, and it filled mine on my last visit hearing other residents speak about how much Dillon has and continues to help them on their recovery journey. I hope that if you or a loved one suffer with addiction that you’ll reach out to Charleston Recovery Center for help. It’s hard to put into words, but upon arrival and everyday thereafter, you’ll immediately feel the love, empathy, understanding, support and encouragement from some of the best people you’ll ever meet, your recovery family. You deserve to have the happiness and joy you’ll find on the other side of addiction. Forever grateful, Kathy Rogers Columbia, SC

Charleston Recovery Center changed my life in a way I didn’t even know was possible. I came in broken, scared, and honestly unsure if I’d ever feel normal again. This place didn’t just help me get sober — it gave me myself back. The staff here truly care. Not the fake “clock in and clock out” kind of care… I mean the kind where they learn your story, sit with you on your worst days, and remind you that you’re worth fighting for even when you can’t see it. The people I met in this program became like family. There’s something about being surrounded by others walking through the same fire that makes you feel understood in a way the outside world can’t. I laughed, cried, healed, and grew more here in 90 days than I have in years. This place taught me how to live again — how to have hope, how to trust, and how to wake up feeling proud of myself. If you’re struggling and you’re scared to take that first step… do it. This place is the real deal. I’m leaving with clarity, confidence, and a second chance at life. I’ll forever be grateful.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received at Charleston Recovery Center. This place has truly been a life-changer for me. When I first walked through their doors, I was lost in my struggles with drug addiction and alcoholism, but the compassionate staff helped me find not only my path to recovery but also my connection to God. The understanding I gained about my disease was profound. Through their comprehensive programs and individualized care, I learned to view my addiction not just as a struggle, but as a part of my journey that I could overcome. The spiritual guidance I received opened my eyes to the possibility of a renewed life. As I approach two years of sobriety, I can confidently say that I wouldn’t be where I am today without the unwavering support from the team at Charleston Recovery Center. Staff members like Jett, Jeanine, and Gene Rowell were instrumental in my early recovery. Their encouragement, wisdom, and genuine care made all the difference. They were there for me during my toughest days, offering guidance, understanding, and hope when I needed it most. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, I wholeheartedly recommend Charleston Recovery Center. They provide not just treatment, but a community and a pathway to a brighter future. Thank you, Charleston Recovery Center, for helping me reclaim my life!

This program has changed my life. I was hopeless and spiritually sick when I first came in, but I wanted something new. This experience was far beyond what I had hoped for. I learned so much and am so grateful for everyone that I’ve met and their commitment to helping me become the woman God has always planned for me to be. I don’t know where I’d be right now if I hadn’t been given this beautiful gift. Thank you for saving my life and helping me to restore that life to one worth living.
