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.

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.

Charleston Hope Recovery center not only saved my life from addiction but gave me the resources and education, in the most informative way daily, of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Words can’t express the gratitude I have for Gene, Jett, Vahalla, Thomas, Dom, Rob, and all the staff not only deeply care for all the residents they make it fun:) They go above and beyond to not just help clients get sober but to REMAIN sober through the 12 Steps of AA. I have gone to multiple rehabs and this one is unique in their own fashion. If you’re struggling with addiction and have the willingness to leave your past in the past and to grow spiritually go to Ashley Hope Charleston Recovery center. Don’t take my word for it, experience the change !! 🙏🏻
