Drug Rehab Centers in Dayton, Ohio

Crazy day. Same room as last time but WAAAAY BETTER STAFF. RN Jared was awesome; attentive, throrough, kind and cute. Total time to discharge, <90 minutes. This time there's an actual bed. Radiology was quick to come in. Longest part was results. Everyone was amazing today. It's really luck of the draw.

I went to Woodhaven twice in 2019, the first time I left because I had it all figured out (most of us think we do but we don't). I ended up using 5 hours after I had left (what about that plan I had lol), went on a run that almost cost me my life a few times, distanced me further from my family and gained a lot more legal problems. My ideas, self-will and diseased illusions brought me to a point of complete resignation. I came back in April of 2019 and surrendered. My mind was closed, ears sealed up and a hardened heart but the staff didn't let me off that easy. If it wasn't for having my thinking and perceptions challenged, I would have never learned what it meant to be open-minded, then, becoming teachable. I was taught about life and everything in it being a process by a CDCA named Tim B. Of course me being self-centered and demanding, I wanted those processes to work on my time, on demand to satisfy my self-centered addict nature. My hatred for delayed satisfaction was incredible. However, it was my constant demand for satisfaction that almost got myself killed multiple times and I needed to be reminded of that when the opportunity was presented. I had to learn to give up what control I though I had and surrender to whatever process that was given to me for the day. Not just the staff but the brotherhood I was surrounded by everyday will always be a big part of the memories I have of being a client at Woodhaven. The comradery was just as important to me then the therapeutic relationships. Getting up everyday, going to group and just doing what was expected I think all of us can say for the time was what we wanted to do. It was what we needed. Realistic expectations and structure. There is no Golden Corral at Woodhaven (you will get what you need) and at times some processes can be slow, grocery lines can take longer and be more frustrating. Things do work themselves out. I think most of us alumni would agree there is something magical that happens when the intent to recover on purpose is matched with unwavering dedication to do something different. Not much really mattered when we just knew, it was going to be ok, maybe just not when we wanted it to be (back to that delayed satisfaction part again lol). Not to dull the reader for this is getting long but I will end with a few important points.1). I am coming up on 6 years of long-term recovery and can only attribute it to having Woodhaven to help start my journey, the Narcotics Anonymous program which was introduced to me in Woodhaven and always, a Higher Power working in my life.2). My dog tag and my Woodhaven certificate are the most cherished things I have ever earned because it reminds me of the growing up I had to do.3). The greatest incentive to long-term recovery and working a daily program of recovery is that, taking life one day at a time, I will never have to go back to treatment again as long as I don't use.4). My son goes to school today with a Woodhaven hat on and says his dad is in recovery not having to worry about if I am coming home or if he is going to be in foster care again.Thank you for letting me share.

Reentry program for returned citizens. Provides loads of help, housing, and programs. Services are very similar to a prison. No one goes here because they simply want to. But, all in all, some staff are educated, understanding, and wonderfully helpful, and some staff get hired and fired in short order! Halfway between the MonDay program, and a homeless shelter in more ways than geographical!

This place has saved my life! They have amazing doctor and counselor s. ! Changed my life forever!
