Great Oaks Recovery Center

My time at Great Oaks was a great experience. It was my first time in rehab and it all made sense!! The counselors are doing an amazing job. And my peers were very helpful in my recovery. A great support system for each other. I'd like to thank Amy, Jody and Caty for their great knowledge of how to get people sober and stay sober. A great place to recover. Special thx to Patrick who got me to open up about a lot of things that were inside of me for a long time!

This treatment facility is phenomenal. If you were blindfolded and unknowingly brought to Great Oaks, you would 100% believe you were on vacation at some retreat. And you wouldn’t be all the way wrong. While the vibes are vacation-like, everyone will always experience uncomfortable situations. Great Oaks in general, but specifically the staff (who make every effort to be so much more than employees clocking in/out) really are unmatched and if my daughters would let me, I would return annually for the vibes and the staff alone. If you are currently in active addiction and reading this, perhaps this is your cue to pursue a better life, and for so many of us, that start at Great Oaks Recovery Center. Thanks again, GORC. I’m forever thankful and grateful.

Great Oaks was amazing!!! As a veteran suffering from a 23 year opiate addiction as well as newer condition developed within the past 5 years developed due to extended incarceration. Prior to learning of Great Oaks I had been through 4 treatment programs over a 2 year period with none being successful. I had given up on hope of recovery and was very suicidal. After going through Great Oaks I was relieved! I was able to open up and able to love myself again. I was so satisfied with their attention to my condition individually that I decided to extend my stay at Great Oaks for an additional 45 days (90 days total). Great Oaks worked with me as if I was a person and got to know me. Never was I treated as a number or just another client moving through their system. They were able to help me comfortably address and open up to issues steming from time in service as well as barriers developed due to years of a horrible and very much deadly addiction and the life it had absorbed me into and teach me how to love myself again. I realized there was so much more to life and people that cared about me than I was previously allowing myself to see. This was a completely different rehabilitation approach that I had ever experienced before notnonly was it different, it was fun as well. Before giving up on yourself or your friend or loved one and think there is no hope for overcoming this disease, please take the time to explore what Great Oaks has to offer first. They truly care and are devoted to saving lives.

I must say when I 1st arrived at Great Oaks there was a special kind of peace around me. Nothing like what I would have imagined rehab to be. We even had a resident fur baby. They allow people to have their Emotional Support Animals, keep us busy with classes filled with valuable information. Everyone from the case managers, Counselors, techs and kitchen staff treat you with care. You often will hear staffs roaring laughter, as they demonstrate what being clean and sober can be like. As time wore on there, I could see why many who had not had success before, finally found it here! There's a great Alumni app, meetings, and events, backed with people who have been where you, your friend or loved one are now. That will be there as long as you reach out and participate. I would recommend Great Oaks to anyone who'll listen... and I miss the Campfire, beautiful trees, porch swings... and a nice pool I didnt get to go in bc it was winter. LOL

I have been out of Great Oaks for nearly 2 months now. The recovery center has propelled me to a place in life I thought I would never see again. The curriculum is outstanding. The facilitators are very special people and go way beyond what would be considered job requirements. They care about you and will lead you on a path to recovery if you are willing to listen and do the work. You will experience a few tears and a lot of laughter as you grow in the community. The staff is wonderful from top to bottom. The food is exceptional and the setting is great. Five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
