I thought the staff and the facilities were top notch. Loved how they treated us with respect and truly wanted us to get our lives back on track. Our group had a real family connection and still stay in touch with friends that I made there. The counselors were great and I could reach out if I had anything that I needed. I would recommend anyone dealing with a substance issue to seek out Harris House.
I had a great experience at Harris House. I had been there before, but I didn't stay long enough. I was worried about outside issues that I wasn't able to manage even after I left. I returned committed to stay for at least thirty days, and give it my undivided attention. Upon my return to Harris House I committed to thirty days on day one. I trusted my counselor and the other support staff to help me manage the outside issues, and I had a few of them. By advocating for myself, and with the help of the staff at Harris House and my job, I was able to focus solely on my recovery. My counselor Liz did an excellent job of keeping me focused, accountable, and on task. The medical staff also played a big part in my success at Harris House. They listened to me, they made some great adjustments to my medications for anxiety and depression, and it's still working! If you're ready to do the work necessary to overcome active addiction, and find out how to continue to live your life without using drugs/alcohol, Harris House is a great place to get started, and be supported as you continue your journey of recovery after treatment. I'm truly grateful for my experience at Harris House. It just may have saved my life...
Harris House saved my life!! I sought treatment there in 2013 and achieved 7 years of continuous sobriety. When my mother died, I relapsed. I tried to get sober on my own but failed. I returned to Harris House in 2025. I went through the 28-day inpatient program in Saint Charles and transitioned to South Broadway. Many of the people who helped me in 2013 were still working there, which really speaks volumes about the kind of organization it is. They treated me like family. They welcomed me back and helped me overcome my terrible addiction. I was treated with love, dignity, and respect. They provided round-the-clock medical care with a psychiatrist and several experienced and qualified psychiatric nurse practitioners on site. The counselors and clinicians there are all qualified professionals with experience in addiction treatment. The kind, compassionate nurse practitioners, counselors, staff, and administration at Harris House helped me achieve sobriety again and put me back on the road to live my life in happy, contented sobriety. My heart is filled with gratitude for the wonderful people there. I have so many friends who are sober alumni from Harris House. Many of my friends have decades of sobriety after being at Harris House. If you are looking for the best alcohol and addiction treatment center you can find anywhere, and I mean anywhere, I highly recommend Harris House. Men and women from across the country travel to Saint Louis just to receive treatment at Harris House. We are so lucky to have them here in Saint Louis. Unlike other treatment centers, they are not profit-motivated. Many members of the management, counselors, and staff are in recovery themselves. They know what they are doing and they really care about every client. The organization, program, and management are top-notch. They provide personal care and compassion while staying up to date on the latest evidence-based addiction treatment. They set the standard by which all treatment centers should abide. Personally, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Wes, Lucy, Frank, Mama Dee, Natalie, Johnathan, Garrison, Jackie, Jamie, and Chris for everything you did to help me. You guys are the best! Thank you so much! You changed my life. :-)
i went harris house on 9/11/2024. it was a good experience and a good time for me to work on myself. if you are not fond of AA it’s okay here. Their approach to recovery here is different for everyone and they understand everyone recovers differently. they got me sober and gave me the tools to go live life sober! if you are thinking about rehab this one is great, from residential to after care it’s the best. It also works i’ve been sober since then and have over 500 days of sobriety now, and it all started with harris house
Harris House is better than a lot of other rehab places because they treat you with respect. They treat you like a person, not just a dollar sign. They really care about their clients. They treat not only the addiction but also the underlying mental health issues. I never thought I would be able to get clean AND be happy. But it is possible and they made it happen for me. If your serious about quitting and ready to do it Harris House is the place to do it. They let you have your freedom and respect. They don't lock you up. But if you put in the work and stick to the program they will find a way for you to get your life back!!!
