i get to live my life today because of the river source and staff. forever grateful.
This place is fantastic and top notch for those that want the treatment and help. The food is good for a hospital type facility and will adjust to one’s diet requests. The place is clean with decent beds to sleep on. The staff is all great and can relate to recovery. I did the detox and 30 day residential and of course with any 30 day stay there’s good days and bad with food, rules, and organization from the staff, but overall they try hard and it met my expectations for having to be in treatment. They have arcade games, pool table, and air hockey and other things for entertainment when not in groups. The only complaint or suggestion, that I also told them, was that weekends are really slow and boring. They were make changes to help out weekends as I was leaving, and also understand that it was not always this way before Covid limited their options. Overall I would go back if I had to, but certainly hope not to for obvious reasons.
Appreciate everything river source has given me. Waldo and Kevin are a huge part of my recovery!!!
Today marks 4 years sober for me and words can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am for my life. Anyone that is in active addiction knows the absolute dispare of needing to stop but not actually feeling like you can because your whole identity revolves around your addiction. You anticipate your days of sobriety being filled fighting the urge to drink, but that can’t be further from the truth. I truly am a new person and it is because I learned in River Source how to deal with my own mind. I learned to catch myself in negative thought patterns and seek out support before it’s too late. I also learned how to take care of myself mentally and physically because sobriety isn’t about punishment, it’s about loving yourself enough to want a healthy body and a strong mind. My 30 days at River Source were the most important 30 days of my life because for me, they truly were the stepping stones that created the bridge to my new life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥️
