Treatment is what you make it. If you allow yourself to get help, you will be helped. Things may not always go the way you planned or the way you want it, but everyone at the recovery village Ridgefield drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is there for one thing. To help you get better. The staff was great. The classes were great. The food was really good. Lots of opportunity to ReDiscover yourself. I highly recommend.

I was once an addict, but bow I’m cured! Just kidding theres no cure. But I AM CLEAN AND SOBER! This place was educational and fun! Still friends with people outside of rehab and now have people I go golfing with. This place was so beneficial I stayed an extra week to soak up more information and make more memories.

Recovery Village Ridgefield: A Truly Exceptional Experience Recovery Village Ridgefield far exceeded my expectations, especially when compared to a previous detox and residential program I had attended twice before. From start to finish, the experience was thoughtful, well-organized, and profoundly healing. Here’s what stood out: 1. Beautiful, Clean Facilities The environment is modern, clean, and visually calming—something that made a big difference for me personally. 2. Engaging and Expert-Led Programming The residential treatment program was exceptionally well-structured. Staff demonstrated deep expertise, the schedule was thoughtfully designed, and the educational content was both relevant and engaging. For the first time, I found myself actively participating every day, connecting with instructors and peers—something I hadn’t experienced in previous programs. 3. Comprehensive, Holistic Care Each of us was assigned a dedicated team that included a clinician, case manager, and physician. The approach was truly holistic, addressing both physical and mental wellness. 4. Caring and Skilled Nursing Staff The nurses were not only highly skilled but also patient, friendly, and supportive, especially during medication times. 5. Comfortable Living Spaces Rooms were cleaned regularly, with fresh linens and towels provided weekly. Cleanliness and organization were encouraged, making our personal spaces feel comfortable and welcoming. Individual A/C units allowed for personal temperature control, which added to the comfort. 6. Flexible Phone Access We had regular phone access—typically once a week during class or as needed with permission—which made it easy to stay connected with loved ones and manage personal responsibilities. 7. Ample Outdoor Time and Wellness Options There was plenty of time to spend outdoors, whether for a smoke break, fresh air, or a walk on the beautiful nature trail. Wildlife sightings (birds, rabbits, deer) added to the serenity. The facility also offered a gym with machines and free weights for those looking to stay active. 8. Excellent Food and Snacks The food was consistently very good—balanced, plentiful, and satisfying. Daily snack options included granola bars, cheese and meat plates, fruit, chips, cookies, and more. A+ to the kitchen staff! Caffeinated coffee (available from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and enhanced-flavor water with added vitamins were also appreciated. Strawberry-kiwi was my favorite. 9. Daily Health Monitoring Vitals were checked daily, and we completed wellness questionnaires to help clinicians and nurses track both physical and mental health. This allowed for quick, informed adjustments to care as needed. 10. Thoughtful Room Assignments and Facility Management The BHT team (Behavioral Health Technicians) did a great job pairing roommates. I don’t snore and was matched with someone similar, which helped me get consistent, restful sleep—about eight hours a night. The BHT staff ensured smooth day-to-day operations and were attentive to all our needs. A+ to the BHT team. I could go on, but I hope this gives a clear picture of what Recovery Village Ridgefield offers. I would return if needed—but I genuinely believe this will be my last time in active addiction. The tools, insights, and support I gained here have helped me build a solid recovery plan. I’m especially grateful I chose something new instead of returning to the same local center. Highly recommended.

The staff was very kind and helpful. 24 hour nurses on staff is a must and very appreciated being someone that had problems sleeping from withdrawals. The classroom was engaging and helpful, the teachers did a great job explaining how to be successful at staying sober. I’m almost 1.5 years clean and never have cravings but know what to do if I did. You can’t pick who your in there with but it feels so good being around people that know what your goin thru and like to talk and get to know you. Wish I had more of those people when I was there but it is what it is, gotta stay positive and focus on getting better regardless. They have lots of games to play which was a blast and a great way to keep the time rolling. I would definitely go back there if I needed to, I feel a lot stronger and better off after getting treatment there.
