Overall a very positive experience. I have stayed at the recovery village for two months. When I first got here I was unhappy and hearing 45 days felt like a lifetime. 30 seemed impossible, and now here I am at two months and 3 days. The environment is safe, people want to be here. There’s no arguing, support and a lot of help. I went through the oasis program and then did php as well. It can be scary to commit to the change but I found it worth it. If it’s trauma, addiction, whatever you struggle with they have what you need. The main complaints I have heard or had was you do have tape on your phone so FaceTime isn’t available during your stay for Saftey of other clients.. and snacks. Out of all things to consider, not a major deal. They will help you with therapy, education, and meds. I did feel finding sober living after was difficult for me and a few others. You can have care packages dropped off, family/friend visits as well as Amazon orders. Great connections you can make and I’d like to emphasize again, the people here want to get help. But overall this experience saved my life. I wouldn’t have stayed this long if it didn’t and I never expected it to. There activities like art, bon fire, trivia, yoga things to look forward to. You’re worth it, the time is worth it and I hope anyone who reads this chooses themselves. It’s okay to be selfish and again. YOU ARE WORRH IT! You got it! Thank you for all the kindness, patience, love and support I’ve been givin during my stay. Sure there’s discomfort and sacrifices, but your sobriety and mental health is far more important. We need you and you matter! Recovery village truly saved my life. Would recommend to anyone.
I am still astonished by the level of professionalism, the staff and facilities. Most rehabs are a revolving door full of people who don’t want to be there , recovery village is the opposite. The staff truly cares for the patients, the facility is clean and well maintained even the food was decent. Everyone from the techs all the way to the ceo (whom I met with briefly on my discharge date ) are top rate , friendly and actually helpful.
I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking help with addiction, I honestly can’t think of a single thing that went badly…ok maybe the pillows, the pillows were kinda lame ;).
From Don the chef, every single BHT, nurses, physicians, clinicians, receptionist, custodians and especially the group instructors. I was a life changing experience.
I did not want to go to any place like this.
I didn't think I needed it. Surprisingly, leaving Recovery Village Columbus after I completed my stay was a bit emotional. I feel like they saved my life.
I must mention three people who made an incredible influence on me that I'll remember for the rest of my life. Josh, my clinician, Raynita, an amazing instructor and especially Dr. Melvin Timberlake, there aren't enough words to describe how wonderful of teacher he is.
I'm so thankful for my entire experience at RVC.
Unfortunately I've been to multiple treatment centers, but this was by far the best place I've ever been. I'm hoping that this will have been my last time in treatment, but that's because it was the most beneficial place I've ever been. I can't say enough good about RVC and their staff. Mel changed my life but all of the staff was wonderful. I hope to be able to work for a place like this someday!
RVC really changed my outlook on life. I want to begin by saying that I was at RVC for Thanksgiving and Christmas. As soon as I stepped foot in the door, patients around my age(27) took me under their wing. And shortly after, all patients did! So the patients really made a difference during my time here. The counselors were also fabulous! Andrea and Mel were so amazing. Both have made a lasting impact on me!! The kitchen staff were always in a good mood and the food was great. The BHT’s and nurses made sure we had top of the line care at all hours of the day. When people take the time to carefully explain your medication, you know you’re cared for. Nurse Chris, Heather and Diego always went above and beyond to make RVC feel like home! I have to say a HUGE thanks to staff and patients at RVC. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for my recovery. I am from OOT and i’m coming back for my 2 month coin because of how amazing AA was as well. Thank you all so much for taking such good care of me and making me feel loved!! ❤️
