Beyond Addiction: The Success Stories of Our Recovery Ambassadors

We asked our alumni to share their recovery stories and empower others to seek treatment for addiction and mental health.

Admitting you have an alcohol addiction can be difficult.
How did our alumni know they needed help?

Realizing the need for help is the first step to overcoming addiction.
Our recovery ambassadors decided to embark on their own healing journeys. It’s time to start yours.

“I knew I wanted treatment when I realized how sick I kept getting and ruining my family.”

“I knew I wanted treatment when I realized how sick I kept getting and ruining my family.”

“My mother had just passed and my drinking and depression became uncontrollable. Between the insomnia and hand tremors, I knew I needed help.”

Recovery Can Feel Impossible. Here is what our Recovery Ambassadors Want to Tell You.

In the face of challenges, our alumni speak to future patients, offering hope and inspiration to those struggling on their own recovery journey.

“I’d say that there is hope for a better life, that there is hope to overcome all obstacles and to know that you are not alone”

-Jospeh McDermott, Recovery Ambassador TRV Cherry Hill

“I’d share my experience and guide them to the right path of recovery. It’s a beautiful experience.”

-Isaiah Richardson, Recovery Ambassador TRV Cherry Hill

“I would let them know they are not alone with their addictions and even though recovery can be tough, things will get better.”

-Justin Walker, Recovery Ambassador TRV Cherry Hill

The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper Alumni

How has my life changed since treatment? Being able to wake up every day without being sick, seeing my family and friends see my progress, not having to lie and hide my alcoholism, spending time with my son, giving me a structural routine and learning how to love myself again.

Compassionate Staff

The Staff was phenomenal. A lot of them are in recovery as well so they know what you’re going through.

Peer Support

The staff was great, very knowledgeable, and also interacting with other patients and sharing one another’s stories. I met some lifelong friends there.

Tools for Recovery

Residential and boarding house [PHP] were the most helpful. Residential gave me knowledge and routine while boarding prepared me for when I left.

A Full Continuum of Care

“This was the closest facility with the highest ratings and had more programs to offer than regular IP [inpatient rehab] or OP [outpatient rehab]. That’s why I chose The Recovery Village.”

My name is James meyers I came to recovery village a month ago December 5th first time in recovery at age 56 I didn’t know what to expect everyone from when I called in to when I walked in were supportive and nice I have nothing bad to say the kitchen staff worked hard at providing us with our daily meals and we’re very gracious towards me and others I highly recommend this facility I can’t put into words well enough how much I appreciate the kindness of the staff and most of the people who were seeking help like myself and the support they have provided for me when I leave ❤️

I won't leave a 5 star but i will give credit where it is due. Thank you for the services you offered and the care you gave to me. I respectfully ask that you hire more staff for the clientele you serve. The stay would have been more efficient and better if not for the short handed staff. Also Kaitlyn one of the counselors needs training and can be very unprofessional, not sure if it's a bias in regards to addicts or race. I was very disappointed in her performance. However there were counselors such as Antionne, Brent, Ms. Cleo, Angela, Brittany and Heather that went above and beyond. Helene, Jason, and both Davids did a wonderful job as staff/BHT. Thank you for helping me on my way in recovery and i would definetely refer any addict who wants help and is serious about recovery to visit Recovery Village. I HAVE 21 DAYS CLEAN AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE STAYED WITH RECOVERY VILLAGE!!!

They seemed short staffed at the time my son was there but he was well taken care of there. He’s been to two there rehabs before this one and liked this one the best. They were a little more strict at RCA but run well here. I would recommend it here.
