I am grateful and fortunate to have found Absolute Awakenings as alcohol abuse was ruining my life and I finally decided to reach out for help.After 6 months of sobriety, I am now enjoying life more than I can express in words and I cannot say enough about the treatment I received during this time.I am so thankful to have been under the care and supervision of Alexandra and Marc, who are both exceptional human beings who treated me with kindness and never judged me at all.I always felt at ease while in group and individual sessions.All of the staff are exceptionally friendly and caring.They offer a "Family night", which I highly recommend where you can invite your loved ones to attend. This was extremely informative and beneficial in helping my family understand what I was going through during my recovery.The hypnotherapy group sessions with Amy were also an important part of my recovery and boosted my self-confidence.Thank you Absolute awakenings for giving me back the life I thought I had lost forever.

This is by far the best treatment center I’ve ever been to. I’ve struggled with addiction for many years and they have really helped me and since being here I believe this is the last treatment center I will go to. Thank you absolute awakenings for everything you’ve done for me. The staff is amazing the facility is great and the affiliated housing was great.

I was at Absolute Awakenings for 60 days. Amanda, the alumni coordinator, is amazing! She goes above and beyond for everyone! She truly cares for all beyond expectation.

To those with love ones struggling. This is a very good place. It's not perfect by any means, communication and some administrative things should be better. Also, their residences need some optimization (from what I've heard, I didn't live there, but heard several complaints). The staff is great though, shout out to Deana, Mark, Matt, Alex, Courtney (the best), Hypnotherapist Amy, Amanda, and Candice who I would have liked to see more of face to face (although does a great job on family night). Last, Tim, one of the founders is a solid guy in my opinion.

My experience here was great in the long run, meeting new people and getting clean. I have the upmost respect for all of the counselors at Absolute as they have helped me change my life for the better. I couldn't recommend enough.

Decent housing, wonderful community but horrific communication and organization. Staff constantly disrupting groups and it’s always unclear which groups you’re allowed to be a part of and which ones you’re not

I recommend absolute awakenings to anyone that thinks or knows they have a problem with mental health, alcoholism, and/or addiction. Their focused group therapy and individual therapy is just what I needed in my early recovery. After graduating, I have a toolbox of coping mechanisms, wisdom and knowledge of my disease. They offer residential, IOP, and OP; all of which are fantastic. I have 4+ months of sobriety and I’m glad to be a part of the Absolute Awakenings Alumni. Thank you for everything !

I am beyond thankful for Absolute Awakenings and their amazing staff. During my time in their care, I learned so much about myself and how to live a life free of addiction. They have found an amazing balance of serious, thought provoking group sessions and group sessions that are fun and light hearted. My time at Absolute taught me that I can have fun and enjoy my life without the use of substances. I will forever be grateful.

The most amazing and life changing experience! I learned so much about mental health during my time at Absolute, and have left the program feeling stronger than ever. My gratitude for this center is unmatched, and I could not have asked for more supportive counselors. Courtney, Alex, Amanda and Davida are beyond incredible and will support you through and through with kindness, empathy, and compassion. I feel beyond blessed and can’t thank these amazing people enough for how they have changed my life in the best way possible.

I was in the mental health program, the groups got too big and overwhelming, there were a few members that made me extremely uncomfortable, when I brought it up to staff it was disregarded. I have my issues of course, but I would never demean anyone else’s mental illness the way those people did. After that they told me I would be going elsewhere until the people who were essentially bullying me would leave. I never wanted to leave the program because the actual clinical staff was great. Meagan, and Candace were the only 2 who were against me. Candace is the director who calls the shots, who had agreed to have me come back initially when I was ready to. But admissions is telling me a different story. They treat you like a criminal if you stick up for yourself here.I have reached out to your center directly, I even went in person and was demanded to leave.
