What Our Patients Say About Us
Reviews
After experiencing several treatment programs over the years as our son struggled with substance abuse disorder, Jaywalker came to our attention. Their focus of learning to live with JOY in recovery and their longer term approach helped us make our decision. Our son is the healthiest and the happiest we've seen him in years! He has made strong connections and is finally living his sobriety in real time. Jaywalker staff are amazing, strong, supportive, and understand what their clients are going through. They walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Jaywalker has been able to show our son that there is so much life to be lived and enjoyed in recovery.
Jaywalker staff at every level and role has been there for us as parents as well. They have supported us, answered our calls, given us tools and resources and been there for us every step of the way. They've made us feel a part of the Jaywalker family. That has been so important on this journey. I highly recommend Jaywalker Lodge Treatment Center.
I went through Jaywalker Lodge about 4 years back and was blown away by the experience I had there. I had struggled with addiction for 15 plus years at that point and had made many attempts to get sober by admitting to treatment centers all over the United States. My experience at Jaywalker lodge was unmatched. From the clinical care to the adventure program, I was engaged from day one. The thing that made my experience long lasting and is still a huge part of my life in recovery is the community that Jaywalker has created. I still to this day attend Alumni dinners and get the opportunity to share my experience with current clients.
Hi! My name is Jay, and I attended Jaywalker Lodge starting in February of 2023 for severe alcohol and drug addiction. I'm now approaching 10 months of sobriety. I was living on the edge of death, and I have found an abundance of joy and a NEW LIFE thanks to this program. During my stay in the Lodge, I worked through a wide variety of past trauma with the help of experienced counselors and therapists. They enabled me to become engaged with the local recovery community every day through meetings, activities, and meaningful service opportunities. I ended up staying for 8 months, doing each the Lodge, Solutions, and Sober Living programs. All of them were incredibly helpful for me and allowed me to ease my way back into life on my own. I've left my old life behind entirely, and have relocated permanently to the area so that I can stay connected to this amazing community and to help others through their recovery. I would sincerely recommend anyone who needs help to attend this program and to engage and trust the process. I did, and I'm now living an entirely new life in recovery where I find new meaning and purpose in every waking moment. I truly mean that. If it can work for me, I know that it can also work for anyone else. I will be forever grateful for the life that Jaywalker showed me, and I hope that other struggling souls have the chance to witness the same life-changing experience that I did. Thank you, Jaywalker, for saving my life.
Twelve years ago, I stepped into Jaywalker Lodge, a lost soul enslaved by addiction. My journey toward long-term recovery hasn't been without its bumps, but undeniably, I owe my present sobriety to the Jaywalker family and the invaluable brotherhood I found at Jaywalker Lodge. Even after twelve years, I remain connected with the majority of the men who walked through Jaywalker alongside me, celebrating both life's highs and lows together. Jaywalker is a great program and helped me give me a new lease on life.
Jaywalker Lodge is a tremendous resource here in Carbondale for those seeking help in recovery. I worked as a clinical mental health intern and got to see the dedication of the staff first-hand. They are truly wonderful and devoted people. I also had the pleasure of getting to work with the clients and to see so many of them continue their powerful recovery journey as community members here in Carbondale and beyond.
