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,

My experience at Charleston Recovery Center has been absolutely life changing. The staff here is second to none. When I came into the Charleston Recovery Center i was a drug addict completely beating down by my own mistakes, completely and utterly defeated by life and absolutely broken. They taught me that my addiction is a disease with a three part illness with a two fold nature. They also showed me and give me the tools to deal and handle my addiction and my disease. If it wasn't for the Hope and it's staff I'd be either in jail, or worse dead. I'm so grateful for the life that the hope has showed me that I can live today and I don't have to live life like I used to. This wonderful place saved my life no doubt and I'm forever grateful to be the man i am today because of The Charleston Recovery Center. They are forever a part of my life and I consider them to be family.
I recently celebrated one year of sobriety, and I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to the Charleston Recovery Center and the incredible staff who helped guide me through the 12 Steps of AA. From the moment I arrived, I felt supported, understood, and challenged to grow.
Special thanks to Jett, Thomas, and Gene—your dedication, compassion, and personal insight into recovery made all the difference. Each of you brought something unique to the table: Jett’s direct approach and honesty, Thomas’s calm and steady encouragement, and Gene’s wisdom and lived experience. Together, you helped me confront the root causes of my addiction and taught me how to live with integrity and purpose.
The 12-Step program here is not just a guideline—it’s a way of life. At Charleston Recovery Center, they don’t just tell you what recovery looks like; they show you, day by day, through their actions and the community they've built. It’s a tough program at times, but if you’re serious about recovery, this place will change your life.
A year ago, I couldn't imagine making it this far. Today, I wake up sober, grateful, and hopeful. Thank you for giving me the tools and support I needed to reclaim my life.
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.
