I attended outpatient services at The Recovery Center after attending Serenity Grove for 30 days. The staff at The Recovery Center are very knowledgeable and caring. They offer continuing care as well which has been a great program. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get sober. I have been sober for a little over a year now and they helped get me here.

After I completed a 30-day inpatient program with their sister company, Serenity Grove, I decided to do two months of outpatient treatment. It was so nice to be able to transition from inpatient to outpatient with the same counselors and clients. It made me feel safe and more relaxed in a familiar setting. I added to the tools that I had learned at Serenity Grove and continued to work on my sobriety without going straight back to the "real world". I cannot thank AARC enough for their care. I still go once a week to their Continuing Care program, and I can do that for as long as I will ever need!

Was at SummitRidge for almost two months in their partial hospitalization program after experiencing psychosis and general dysregulation. I could not recommend the program more highly. The staff, especially Beth and Taylor, were kind and competent and did everything they could to ensure a safe and supportive environment. Would highly recommend this program to anyone who is struggling with their mental health and is open to learning skills to ameliorate it.

They were the 3rd biggest step in my road to recovery. The entire staff that I've had the pleasure of meeting are very kind. I've been coming here over 2 years now, with their help. They have helped me in many more ways than prescribing methadone. They have several counselors for you to speak to and go hand in hand with recovery. They also have certified peers to speak with about anything you may not feel comfortable telling your counselor yet. For the first time in 2 decades, I can truthfully say I am happy to be alive. If you're considering getting sober, don't put it off another day. You're not alone. there are many here who want to help you with your journey to a sober life.

My Wife and I have been going here for several months now and have had a WONDERFUL experience! I have been to 3 different clinics over the course of many years and by far this has been the most pleasant experience so far. The people from the owner to the councolers to the woman that checks you in have all been a breeze to work with. I have never felt judged or shamed regardless of how I presented as long as you are respectful and are trying to do the next right thing they will bend over backwards to help you succeed in your sobriety. Bambi, Hayden and Adriana are fantastic non judgmental councillors and will keep it real with you as long as you are real with them. They will work with you on payments as long as you are honest and do what you say your going to do when you say your going to do it. 10/10 would recommend and have to several people I know are still struggling.

The staff is absolutely incredible. If you can't afford to pay they'll let you go a few days until you get paid. They treat you like family. They remember your name, client ID #, and they remember details you talk about. You aren't just money to them. They really care about your recovery. And there is absolutely no judgment. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to better their lives and get into recovery!!!

Wish it was made mandatory to go down a certain mg every two weeks until your completely finished and off. Present a treatment plan on day 1 with a completion date and contract. So the patients know what and when to expect to be completed by. Exempt for the few people truly getting it for pain treatment. It's sad people spend years going to treatment places and not even progress any. Enforce it. Make them get off of it because they aren't strong enough or willing to do it themselves. It may not work for everyone but it would on most of them making it worth it. At some point people need to decide when to grow up and put it in the past.

Life-Changing Experience – A True Blessing from God I cannot say enough good things about Penfield. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and the genuine love and care of the staff. This isn’t just a rehab—it’s a place where lives are restored, men are renewed, and God’s grace is made real every day. The program is deeply rooted in Christian principles, offering not only professional recovery services but also spiritual healing through prayer, worship, Bible study, and mentorship. Many have walked the same road and now serve as powerful examples of redemption and hope. We were referred by several men who had been here before and it had profoundly changed their lives. What truly sets this facility apart is its focus on rebuilding the whole man—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. My fiancé came in broken. Today, he is walking in freedom, filled with purpose, and stronger in his faith than ever before and still learning with the tools he's been given from Penfield. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction and needs more than just sobriety—but true transformation—this is the place. God is at work here, and miracles are happening every day.

-If you truly... TRULY want to get your life together, this is the place for you. You can show up with nothing, you will be clothed, fed and given a bed to sleep in. There is a daily schedule with classes that help instill structure and stability. Clients are given a generous amount of Grace when it comes to program participation as us as addicts are often not a fan of authority. The Potter's House is a place with amazing opportunities for any addict that wants to get clean and have the tools to succeed in life beyond the "Eagles". -I spent two years of my life here throughout various stages of the program. I am now working a job I never would have dreamed of and am loving the life I am living. I showed up to this past Christmas with gifts for my family for the first time in my life. I am 32. My Mom and I's relationship has never been better. There's too many blessings to count.

It’s just a small help that makes being a single mom and bringing him to the clinic a little less stressful. (I only come 2 times a month) but nonetheless they do everything they can to help, like every business it is a money making business though so there isn’t charity, you have to follow the rules and expectations and as long as you go by that you’re in & out.

I decided to stay 6 months because after learning how to live sober I started learning how to be a better man, father, partner, and believer.
