I left Columbus Recovery Village July 9th after a 30 day stay. I want to write a honest review. The facility is not what is shown online. It is fairly dirty. The medical side of things could be better. I didn’t receive detox meds for 30 hours after arrival. Some nurses lack empathy. The food is fairly good and adequate. Salad bar at every meal. The group facilitators are phenomenal and make group therapy amazing. Mel and Christopher are amazing humans and love unconditionally. I had a solid relapse prevention plan upon discharge. Recovery can and was found here. These people changed my life and I feel like I received the tools and care to remain sober if I follow what they said. They asked me to give up one thing and receive everything or sacrifice everything for that one thing. If you are struggling and are committed to do anything, do yourself a favor and check in with complete abandon and get help.
First thing I noticed is how every single staff member truly cares about their patients. Several staff members really went above and beyond with their positive attitude and sunny disposition which really makes a difference when you are not feeling good. Ann, Lilly , Terri were incredible. All the BHTs were great and hard workers. I’m so grateful to the nurses and BHTs for their kindness. I’m grateful for the support I received at RVC and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for help and support.
RVC is an amazing facility. It’s a great place to start your recovery journey and get to the destination of sobriety. The counselors are all amazing: Mel, Sydnee, Raynita, Kara, Josh, Bev, Marchelle, Chris, Jordan, Mark are amazing people who care deeply. The nurses: Kris, Tina, Shawna, Terrie, Jessica , Ashley, Nicole, Amber are amazing people who really go out of there way to make you healthy. The Behavioral tech team: Justin, Phil, Dorothy, Jessica, Hislord, Anne are all amazing and really make you feel at home. The Chefs: Troy, Don, Deon, Trinity, Sheila are amazing cooks and prepare great meals. The groups are fun and energizing. The meetings are inviting and eventful and you leave full of knowledge and energy to lead a safe and sober life. From art to pool, ping pong, movies, basketball, frisbee, football, bon fires on Friday nights, and client led AA/NA you really receive a mountain of knowledge. Great place to go. Miss yall!!!
