About The Owl’s Nest Alcohol & Drug Addiction Treatment Center Florence SC

Owl’s Nest Recovery (formerly known as The Owl’s Nest and Owl’s Club International) was founded in 2001 as an alternative to the typical residential addiction treatment center. Our founder had spent many years and countless dollars seeking recovery at more than 25 drug and alcohol rehabs with no long-term success. But, after working the Twelve Steps through Alcoholics Anonymous, he finally found relief — and decided to start The Owl’s Nest to help other families avoid the painful cycle of unsuccessful addiction treatment attempts.

Originally a 12-bed recovery house for men, the program was designed around the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous — with an emphasis on personal responsibility, self-discipline, and community. Fueled by its initial success, the program quickly grew to include addiction treatment programs for men and women, as well as vocational rehabilitation and transitional living options. Over time, as it grew, it began to weave other modalities of addiction treatment into its program, such as individual counseling from Masters-level therapists, psychoeducational groups, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, case management, and life skills training across a continuum of care.

Today, Owl’s Nest Recovery offers a total of 110 beds at our peaceful campus in Florence, SC. We remain privately owned, with a commitment to providing an environment and culture of compassionate healing that allows each individual to focus on their recovery from addiction and mental health issues.

To that end, we provide addiction treatment and evidence-based practices combining total abstinence with clinical psychotherapy and a dynamic approach to the Twelve Step model of recovery. The end result is a new freedom and happiness — the likes of which many of our clients have never known.

We offer a variety of treatment types customized to the needs of each individual client.

What Our Patients Say About Us

The Owls Nest saved my life

The Owls Nest saved my life. The staff are very caring. The food is great. But most of all, the message and dedication to the 12 steps of AA for addicts and alcoholics is what makes the program so successful and why it is hands down the best recovery center I have ever been to, and I've been to many. If you are struggling and need help, pick up the phone and call the Nest.

I’m telling you this place is absolutely amazing.

I was addicted to heroin and crack for 17 years. I’ve been to rehab after rehab with no success. I arrived at the owls nest Dec2023 broken mentally and hardly able to walk. This place helped me change my life. They gave me something I never had…Hope… I was taught a better way of life and how to get back up when I fall. The staff that carry the message at the Owls Nest are second to none. These people genuinely care and will do anything within reason to help clients learn to live life and accept what life throws at you. Putting it all into words is hard but if your reading this and thinking about becoming a client or have a loved one who needs help I’m telling you this place is absolutely amazing.

DONT MISS IT!

what can i possibly say about the owls nest that hasnt been said? this place saved my life. it saved my family. i came in not knowing happiness, or if happiness was even attainable for a person like myself. i was lost, had given up all hope, and had no will to live. my only solution to any problem, my only way to celebrate joy, all of it was the same - synthetic ease and comfort.... and unfortunately, that was burning my life to the ground, with increasing speed. i was miserable back when i drank, i was miserable high, and i was miserable sober - i felt out of options. that's when i came to the nest. that's when the beautiful staff, all graduates of the program themselves, gave me my solution. finally i know happiness, i know peace, my life has finally been given the purpose i've been searching for my whole life. i no longer consider myself a lost cause. i am eternally grateful for every single person on staff here. and the fellowship i found within the community is second to none - these are my people and i truly cherish them deeply. if you or someone you know is struggling with alcoholism or addiction, and you/they want SOLUTIONS instead of "feeling wheels" and a med-tech that's never been where you/they are now droning on and on about "triggers".... the owl's nest is more than your run of the mill rehab center, it's a spiritual retreat and truly qualifies to me and to many others as sacred grounds. dont give up hope before you give this place a call - let jon, alex, or donna help you thru admissions ((they care a whole lot!)), let gary come pick you up, and wait for your first speaker meetings with elle, bion, and shane. you wont regret it. they know you, because they are you, at the deepest level of the alcoholic/addict soul. you are truly understood and very much LOVED here from the moment you call admissions. miracles happen at the owls nest. DONT MISS IT!

I entered this program in March of 2022. About that time I rated The Nest at 5 stars. Being 2 years into this and seeing some of the reviews I figured I would share my experience. The years leading up to coming to The Owl's Nest obviously weren't fun, enjoyable, or productive. I had run my life into the ground financially, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Today all of those have worked themselves out. The staff when I came through did what they could with what they had. Being heavily involved in the community still to this day it has done nothing but improve. The clinical that everyone gets at any facility is useful and they do it great there. The difference, the key, is part of the program is working the 12 steps of AA. It is taught in such a broken down way that the people that don't get it weren't listening. The staff has always been fantastic and done everything in their power to be helpful. This place should not be called a rehab or a treatment center. On the outside looking in that is what it seems, but any old treatment center can pump people in charge insurance and turn them out. This place cares about you on an individual level and shows you a new way of life one free of judgment, opinions, and more. It has allowed me to live life on life's terms and not pick up something because I'm happy or sad or bored. It should be called a spiritual retreat, because for the alcoholic or addict that is the root of my internal condition. A smart person that still works there says "I no longer let external things dictate my internal condition". If that's something that sounds appealing The Owl's Nest is the only place I know where to get it.
