A Forever Recovery, Inc.

I came to A Forever Recovery a worthless, hopeless junkieI was a ticking time bomb who was just trying to figure out when, where and how I was going to get my next highI walked out a completely new man that actually had potentialI've made my family and friends so proud of where I am today and I have AFR to think for thatWithout the support that started in the Detox house putting up with me, I sure know it was rough for them because it was rough on meThen the nonstop time, effort, support and dedication from my case manager, counselor, Pam, nursing staff and everyone else, I don't think I could have made it through as smooth as I did

The Main House was disgusting.. This place only had 1 Handicapped Room in the whole Place and it was on the Men's Floor. The elevator didn't go down past the 1st floor. It stopped with me in it. The Laundry facilities were 3 floors down and they only had stairs. I wasn't allowed to ask for someone to help me with my laundry. The Detox house was Cold and Damp and the disgusting. It felt like the floor was going to collapse. It was weak. The staff did their best . The classes they put me in was Coed I don't want to hear men's stuff.

I recently had my son go to this rehab. He was waiting for a bed in ** state. because his insurance didn't cover , out of state treatment. By the way, is horrible in **. state. He was directed by the court and his drug counselor to go into treatment from herion addiction. He lived with me for one week. He was using daily. I thought he would die. Just wondering when ?
I spoke with the intake person. All people there are wonderful to speak with. I was so distraught , at this time, I should of asked more questions. I believe he said after treatment was for a yr... Well, after treatment , is a phone call for a yr. I was confused to think it was like a total living facility for a yr , if so needed. It doesn;t.. We had to pay cash. Now, no , cash for his sober living or half way house...
I am disappointed that the intake person did not explain this to me...
So, far my son seems to be doing well. He is soon to graduate for there but I am scared. He needs assisted living. So, I hope and pray , they can steer him in the right direction. We spent our retirement money...

Four years ago my son, who was in his twenties, received his fourth DUI. He had been struggling with alcohol binges for years and it destroyed his relationships and caused great loneliness and depression. Nothing would help him. I researched "residential rehabs" online and talked to several representatives. I decided on A Forever Recovery. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. The staff was friendly and available to me. I was able to talk to one person who knew his case thoroughly. Although he was limited in what he could tell me since my son was an adult, he did talk to me throughout my son's initial weeks. My son stayed at AFR until he passed every stage they set for him: it took a couple of months. The grounds were beautiful, the rooms comfortable and the food was healthy. As residents progressed, they were allowed to go to movies or other events. He had telephonic contact available for a year after he left and could return if needed. He had a rocky start the first couple of months after leaving and these telephone calls helped immensely. He finished college, got a good job and now I have a beautiful baby grandson. He has stayed alcohol free and is actually happy. Thank you AFR for helping my son achieve a good life.
