Futures Recovery Healthcare

I am a 2 time alumni of Futures Recovery Healthcare I went in the first time for my addiction to alcohol not knowing what to expect and very nervous and fearful but I gained so much knowledge about myself and my addiction the first time I was there. I was very hesitant to go back for a second time but I am forever grateful that I did go back for a second time as they gave me all the tools I needed to live a sober life outside in the real world today without having had to rely on any substance for a whole year now on March 5th. The staff from the directors all the way to the nurses and just the cleaning staff are amazing, wonderful and accommodating and are always there for your needs I would never trade my days at Futures for anything. I love being able to go back as an alumni to show that if I can do it and reach a year sober anyone can do it with the tools and knowledge Futures gave to me.

Choosing to go to Futures was one of the best decisions I’ve made. They provided a level of care that was very much needed. From the clinical team to the techs, I felt comfortable and safe right away. In addition, they provide constant contact through their alumni department and that is part of my recovery program. Pick up the phone and call them.

TL;DR: I got to Futures thinking I would breeze through in two weeks, go through the motions, then go home and forget it ever happened. I spent my first few days acting this way until I realized just how poor my mental health was. I turned around my attitude and left Futures glowing, with lifelong friends that I can call at any time of the day for support. I have continued to join the weekly mental health alumni calls. They are so important to me that I have adjusted my life around making them. Futures is truly life changing. Guaranteed that I would not be alive today if I had not attended Futures. One note: If you are reading this and feel like you need immediate help please dial 911, go to an emergency room, or call 988. There are people at all of these locations that can help you in your immediate situation and assist you with getting help. I was at Futures in April and May 2024 in the residential mental health (MH) program. This place is without a doubt life changing. I don't use that term lightly. When I entered Futures my life was hanging from a thread due to severe depression and suicidal ideation. Life could not have gotten any worse for me. Luckily my wife loved me enough to force me to go to Futures. It took a few days for me to accept my situation and decide to give it a try. I gave it my all and 5 weeks later I left a totally different person. The individual therapy clinicians were excellent. Alexis, Cecile, Emily, and Natalie (in alphabetical order so as to not pick a favorite) were sensitive to your needs and treated you as an individual person instead of just a number/patient. They were truly invested in your recovery. They tailored your program and therapy to what you needed for success, not a formula that was standard for everyone. The group therapy clinicians and peer specialists were just as great as the individual therapy clinicians. Dan "Dan Dan the family man", David "the other guy", Dika, Ryan, Sarah (with the avocado tattoo), and others were top notch. The group therapy was set up for you to recover and learn not only from the professional staff but also from your fellow patients. There is a spectacular group dedicated to your continued recovery when you leave. Alisha, Craig, Darby, John, and LaQuisha were great. Futures helped you set up your next steps in your recovery before you left so you knew what was next and didn't have to struggle to determine what was next when you left. The Alumni crew follows up with you on a regular basis and is there for your continued recovery. The tech staff and nursing staff were there for your success as well. The techs were your 24/7 contact in the facility since the clinical staff worked 7 days a week but only about 0800-1800. My favorite techs by far were Allissa, David, Drew (Andrew), Hailey, Louis, Rachel J, Rachel L, and Riley. All the techs were great but some of them were greater than others. Stephanie in the medical office was especially warm and helpful. She went out of her way to help me be successful on my last day there. The MH program facility was set up for your success. Was it Four Seasons nice? No. But it was a nice place. Was the food worthy of a James Beard award? No. But it was good food and made it so you could focus on recovery. Were some of the rules a bit annoying at first? Yes. But they were made to allow you to focus on recovery. In summary, Futures was 100% set up for your success. The entire staff was caring, warm, friendly, and tailored to your recovery. I have made many lifelong friends both in the facility and those I have met on the weekly alumni calls. Do I want to go back? No. Going back would mean I have relapsed in my recovery. Would I go back if I ever need to go back? In a heartbeat. If Futures made a weeklong program for alumni to return and get a "tune-up" I'd be the first one to sign up. If you are reading this please remember this: You Matter. You are Enough. There are people in the world that care about you and your recovery. You just need to let them help.

I have nothing but good things to say about Futures. Sadly, my teenage son has been in and out of treatment facilities for year, and I can say this is the best one he ever stayed at. It is in a nice area, it is a little higher security that others with it being a bit out of the way from town, and locked gate. Not that this is the most important part of a facility, but the food and facilities are top-notch.
