Charleston Recovery Center

As a caregiver, I was extremely happy with the program, staff and programming at Charleston Recovery. The only shortcoming is there is no available psychotherapy onsite which is beneficial. Their methodology is strongly rooted in the 12 steps. My son has complicated medical needs… the staff were open, welcoming and helpful to accommodate him. The facilities are very nice. Rather than being academics or clinicians, many of the staff are previous alums of the program which is extremely helpful for them to be empathetic to residents and knowledgeable from experience. Residents are held accountable for meetings, chores and participation.

Its been one year to this day, I've been sober. So i thought it would be time to write a review. One year ago I was at the Hospital in a hopeless state of mind and body. Had a great job, had great friends, on the surface my life looked plentiful. This was wrong, I was living in my own prison physically sick and mentally lost. At the moment I had a choice, 1:) to go back to my hotel room hope I dont drink myself to death or 2:) Seek help. It was actually a very difficult decision. That i could not make on my own. Thank God my mother got in touch with CRC. They called me in the hospital, which gave me a sense of clarity in the moment. I took a leap of faith. Spent 120 days in the program at CRC. Well worth it. There are plenty of pros and cons coming to CRC. What they are: A house full of men and women who have shared the same struggle that you are facing. People who have found a solution that keeps them sober 1 day at a time. What they provide: a house to physically get sober, with plenty of food. A Community that will become family in short time if you allow it. Guidance towards a solution that will actually work today. What they are NOT: A medically staffed detox center (I HIGHLY encourage you to go to the hospital to safely detox off of alcohol and drugs) they are NOT a place full of therapists and doctors. They are PEOPLE just like you, just like me. Pros: lifelong membership to a community that will always be there to help. For FREE. Physical, mental and Spiritual Guidance. Great meetings hosted by addicts and alcoholics. Cons: Communal living (was easy to embrace the suck, former military) Communal bathrooms. (As long as everyone is doing their chores its fine) Chores ( suck it up and do something for someone other than yourself.) The price to pay for 90 to 120 days of recovery here, is nothing compared to the YEARs of misery we had to pay already. Take the leap. After your 90 days it is up to YOU to continue this wonderful chapter of your life.

Charleston recovery center was the perfect place for me to go through the 12-step program and commence sober living. They have an active and engaged group of instructors and staff who care deeply about the residents. It's a beautiful setting in a Southern plantation styled home in South Carolina. If you're looking for recovery from alcohol or drugs, you should definitely consider the Charleston recovery center.

So I went to the Hope a year ago broken and battered I was a victim of domestic violence and my ex boyfriend almost killed me and I was really bad off on drinking and drugs. Was homeless living pit of a hotel. I had never been to rehab before and didn't want to go but I did and I was not all about it but the staff really does care and want to see u succeed with sobriety. I am very grateful that I went there. Hated it for 75% of the time but it does work and I am living proof. Yesterday I got my 1 year chip and I owe it all to the staff and this program.. I am a completely different person now and love being sober
