The Recovery Village Columbus Drug, Alcohol and Mental Health Rehab

I left the Recovery Village over two weeks ago and have been thinking how I can properly convey my review to encapsulate how truly wonderful RVC is… Firstly, If you are reading this and you are debating if treatment and recovery at RVC is right for you, just know walking in the doors is the absolute best first step, and the staff and clients will make sure everything else falls into place. This is the place for recovery, and this is the place for second chances. I went into my first treatment on June 6th, worried about everything, addiction ruining my life, and little support left. An hour after walking in the doors I felt seen, heard, and cared for. I only planned to stay for 6-7 days detox, and found myself staying 70 days in treatment. Every single staff in the building were beyond kind and genuine, and wanted to help and understand the clients. Some of them in recovery themselves, which makes you feel understood by people who have gone through what you have. RVC has changed my life for the better, and many many others. The combination of medical and mental health qualified staff is truly amazing and helps with any and all of your needs. Medication management is top tier, combined with high class therapy and counseling. You truly get out of treatment what you put into it, and they definitely guide you throughout the whole process. I found myself waking up each day in RVC excited to learn and make positive, sober memories. The other clients and people you meet in RVC will establish friendships that last a lifetime. Special shoutouts to Tiffany, the legend “Scooter Bill” and AJ (and many more) Special staff shoutouts to; Brittany the art therapist, Mel, Dominique, Luke, Liv, Nagee, Hislord, and a HUGE shoutout to Brian the maintenance guy (so incredibly kind, helpful and hardworking). Also a very special shout out and thanks to Jerome. I couldn’t have made it through my first 72 hours without him. As well as many many others at RVC. Also, Judy (CEO) if you are reading this, thank you for helping keep such amazing place running and in order. Your kindness and empathy go a very long way. And thanks for the volleyballs 😉 The only critiques I have for RVC is to make sure that you aren’t just accepting new clients because it helps keep your census up, some people do not fit at RVC and need different, specialized treatment. As well as ensuring that clients in RVC are safe and that client capacity does not exceed what staff are reasonably able to manage. There were times I felt as if the place was “too full” and had individuals that did not belong at RVC.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about the time I spent at Recovery Village. I'm currently 228 days sober. The entire staff was amazing. At no time did I feel like I was in my battle alone. I would love to return and volunteer, and tell my story. As I said before. You will not find a better staff to help you. I was able to learn something from each counselor. The BHT'S were also amazing. Recovery Village. Thank you for a better life. If I can ever give back. Please let me know!!!

I love this rehab center because they treat like a person not like a addict and the food is great ass well it always bout your first step walking in to the room that your first step to get better and recovery village has help me out so much and my counselor Ashley help out with you with anything you got going on in your life

What can I say besides The Recovery Village saved my life. Superheroes like Sonya, Sausabel, Brittany, Terri, Najee, Phil, Denise, Beth, Jordan & Judy all made my stay manageable. I am now able to reinvent myself and become Victoria 4.0. Would highly recommend to anyone in the struggle. ❤️

The recovery village provided me with excellent mental health treatment! All the staff and personal were very kind, professional, and held each patient with the upmost respect. The center was an open place to share and it encouraged me to open up and heal within its walls. Thank you for helping me get my life back!

Mia Parks had a wonderful connection with me. She was very intentional with her presence on the call and made sure I was heard and at home. The peace and understanding was the encouragement needed to know I can do this with support of my family and the program.
