Testimonials

“I first received services through Great Lakes Recovery almost ten years ago as a teenager. The services I received prompted me on a life long path to work on myself and help me make the decision to choose life. On this journey I am now in a spot as to give back and help other individuals on their own paths.”

“I take it day by day! Sometimes hour by hour. But I believe that the program has saved my life and has made me stronger. Without this program I don't think I would still be alive; the path I was going down was not a pretty one! But now that I know life without drugs or any mind-altering substances can be as enjoyable and even more enjoyable than doing drugs I Believe I can do this. Without the tools I gathered during treatment I don't think I would have ever made it back here and been able to stay away from the old crowd and be able to turn down drugs. It's life changing to be honest! I love myself more than I ever have I can't thank you guys enough!”

“I traveled to this facility for my first experience with inpatient rehabilitation for addiction, and boy am I glad that my very first interaction and encounter with a program and facilitator in this profession was with this place! They are very professional and thorough and fair in their policy and implementation on those in the program while still allowing the room for individuals to have the unique care or alterations to their new restrictions in the program that takes into account the very unpredictable and varying differences in the resident’s lives and needs. Honestly I can’t praise this place and their workers enough! If you are thinking of sobriety and feel that rehab is appropriate for the start of your journey, then make the trip to GLRC!”

“Recovery housing has played an instrumental role in my journey towards long-term recovery from substance abuse. The supportive and structured environment provided by GLRC’s recovery housing and my case manager has been a cornerstone in fostering acceptance, responsibility, and productivity in my life. The secure and sober living spaces have not only served as a sanctuary for healing, but have also created a foundation for rebuilding my life. Through the guidance and resources offered by GLRC’s housing program I have experienced a profound shift towards become a more acceptable, responsible, and productive member of society and community. I am immensely grateful for the role recovery housing has played in shaping my path towards a healthier and more fulfilling life.”
