Harmony Ridge Recovery Center – Chambers Cir

I wouldn't be the man I am today without Harmony Ridge. It's hard to even explain what that place means to me and has done for me. I am a two time alumni during the summer of 2025. I got introduced to opiates around 2009-2010 during my college years. I am one of the many faces of West Virginia's opiate epidemic. When the pills ran out I left college and turned to crime. I ended up with the largest burglary spree in Pennsylvania state history which I am never proud of and also a pharmacy break in down in West Virginia. One of the things my support system from Harmony Ridge taught me is 'that our dark past is our greatest asset' and I now share my experience, strength, and hope. See Harmony Ridge Walker gave me the family I never had. Jacob May seen something in me and started mentoring me because he too had been in my shoes. Roman gibson started teaching about long term recovery and each day he sat down with me and made sure I was ok that is my brother to this very day. But see I stayed in cabin #4 which is a very spiritual place for me. If you ever been to cabin #4 then you know it's holy ground. There I crossed paths with a man of not too many words. Robert Diddle. This man was and is my rock. He challenged me in every way possible to make something of my life. And he gave me the greatest gift ive had in life. A relationship with a God of my own understanding. I wrote a song about Diddle called 'The Wizard' by The Muddy Water Revival. It's on all platforms. Not trying to promote but that song became real because of Harmony Ridge. I started my new journey of songwriting because of Harmony Ridge and it's going well. I miss being able to go to Josh Haskiels office and just cut up and laugh and tell him his spades game is trash 🗑️. I miss looking at Misty Masons mac Miller decorated office. But my therapist Mel was instrumental to making me believe in myself and the card she got me after I completed is something I carry still. Then you got all my homegirls Katie,Bri,CiCi, and brooke. Then charlie simmons laugh and smile too got me through the days. I'm telling you harmony ridge is a god send. I've been in a million institutions and rehabs. But Harmony Ridge Walker is your stepping stone to a better tomorrow. Trust me. It saved my life and gave me the family I've never had. It's 10:03 am and 6 months since I've been there and 3 people from there have checked on me already. Even the maintenance guys there are the best people you'll ever meet. Shout out to Chad and mickey. If you're ever needing any advice add me. I promise you it's not a rehab. It's holy ground. And thank you to Charlie Keeney for transferring me from barborsville my second time there because she knew Walker was my home 🏠

Ok let me say this upfront. The majority of people there really do care about you. Many of them have been in your spot before. So, you get there and go through some checks (they search you, and your belongings to make sure you dont smuggle anything in). They have you check in and then they set you up in detox if needed (you will at least spend 1 day there, multiple days depending on what you are coming off of or how bad you are doing). Detox is probably the worst part of it because its boring (you do get a personal tv in detox though). Ok so the best thing first. the food is amazing, im talking like eating at a nice restaurant 3 times a day. I never had a meal there that was not good, mostly of the meals are great. Once you are out of detox you start doing classes and meetings and what not. You are lodged in a cabin that honestly are pretty good (only downside is there is one tv per cabin except for the peer leader). Some classes are great, some are boring. Now be prepared, if you go here expect to be there the entire time, around 30 days. If anyone needs rehab, this is the ONLY place id recommend. Everyone is treated with respect, and its a good atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, rehab sucks but this place makes other rehab places look like crap. You can smoke outside when ever and vaping is allowed also. There are a few mandatory classes you have to take, but you get to choose the majority of them. One guy that is a instructor named Brock is absolutely great, he's extremely intelligent and just plain out fun to be around. The nursing staff is great. Look you cant go wrong here. Now all that being said there is a few workers (maybe 2) that I didn't like, but really even then they were not that bad. You will meet life ling friends in sobriety there. During the week it normally goes like this: wake up around 630, shower, get dressed and go ti the main facility (like a 3 minute easy walk), eat some great breakfast, hang out for a little while. They offer a prayer group i think around 8 am, then classes start. Classes take breaks around every hour or so but if you need to step out beforehand to smoke or use the bathroom you can. At 11 am you go get lunch (again great, and large portions) got to class until around 4pm. From there you go back to your cabin and just hang out. Dinner starts at 5 pm (i cant make up my mind if I like the steak the best or maybe the country fried steak). After dinner you hang out until around 7 when tou get the choice of church or a meeting. After that you get vitals done and night time meds and you go back to your cabin. There really isn't a lights out time, but after night time meds you stay at the cabin (you can walk out to smoke anytime). The weekends are more laid back, you still have classes but you will also have some fun activities including games, hikes, fishing, going to the park for picnics, etc. Ive been to other places, and this place is like a resort compared to the other places I went too. After you complete the program they will keep you updated as they have online meetings a few times a week and alumni events. Rehab sucks, but this place is as good as it gets. Now just to clear a few things up, there isn't a pool anymore, and they do not offer horse back riding (for some reason people thought that was a thing). They allow for phone calls after 8 days, the only downside to that is they are only allowed to be 10 minutes. Also while here you will meet with doctors and therapist every week. In the end looking back I highly recommend it. Did I say the food is amazing?

This plce truly saved my life, i went there for substances other thwn alcohol, at times it can feel like being in high school all over again but at th3 end of the day it just works as long as youre willing to do the work, the staff goes above and beyond and out if their way to help you. The staff is truly amazing and caring and they know how youre feeling as theyve been thru what youre goin thru personally, they will give u the shirt off of their backs, they teach u all of the tools and the skills needed to stay clean and sober, i unfortunstely walked oit aboit a week ahead of time due to my own stupidity but thank god i have 44 days as of the time im writing this.. if god forbid i messed up and got off track and reqlized i needed help asap Harmony Ridge would be the absolute first place i contact, thank you all for helping save me *Barboursville Location*

Best place for drug/alcohol rehab. All the staff are in recovery also, so they understand. Medical care is excellent and therapy is top notch. Food is great. Best rehab in West Virginia.
