St. Joseph Institute for Addiction

The care and compassion I received during my 30 day rehabilitation experience was second to none! When walking into treatment I was scared, ashamed and depressed with how I was living my life. With no where to go but up, I was determined to give sobriety an honest effort. The staff was amazing and equipped me with the tools to live a drug and alcohol free life. Today I am 1 year and 10 months sober thanks to St. Joseph Institute! If you or a loved one are in the throes of addiction, I would recommend St Joseph Istitute!

St. Joe’s was the perfect place for our son to land after finally agreeing to get help. His 30 days there set him on a path of sobriety that has continued. Starting at St. Joe’s provided a great foundation. His counselor, Chase, made all the difference in getting him to accept responsibility and admit that he had a problem with alcohol. Chase’s ability to get through to him, had a positive impact on our son that remains to this day.

St. Joe's found a bed for me almost a year ago when I was in middle of "rock bottom." Rehab is to give a fresh start and provide the tools to head back out into the world. That is what this facility provides. I was lucky to get Chase as my counselor, an empathetic practitioner. I really liked the outdoor setting and that the staff let me take my guitar everywhere. It was also a relief to know that I had folks in the administrative office making sure my insurance paperwork was taken care of. I couldn't have gotten clean without this place.

I was so impressed with this facility. The counselors and staff were amazing. The atmosphere of being out in the cabins and surrounded by the woods is peaceful, freeing, and healing in itself. St. Joesph Institute will offer all of the tools needed for a successful recovery journey. If you’re willing to put in the work for yourself, SJI will be transformative for you. Signing myself in there was the best decision I’ve ever made and I’m grateful everyday for SJI and the staff there that helped me. A HUGE shoutout to lead counselor Emily, who is dedicated to her clients, and lead me to a huge breakthrough therapeutically in my recovery journey.

Overall, I had a really positive experience at St. Joe’s. I was facing a mental health crisis, and SJI gave me a safe, comfortable place to begin addressing my depression and anxiety. I especially appreciated the efforts made by my counselor, Lauren, and Angela in the kitchen—they worked with me to make sure my program worked for me. That being said, SJI doesn’t necessarily have a comprehensive mental health program, and I’d caution people who need more intensive help to consider a different option.
