Where do I start, well Jesus take the wheel. I was a client/ Resident at Hickory Treatment Center at the Downtown Campus 2926 N Capitol avenue, and I want to say it's amazing man was I a hot mess and I didn't want to stay so I went to talk to Andre the facilities Director and told him how I was feeling and this Man said I understand but will you give it a week and if you still feel that way I will personally take you wherever you want to go. Well I never went back to him instead I stayed and it was the best decision that I have ever made. I was given the best care I ever imagined the staff is first class professionals the care of treatment was astounding the respect of staff is ten star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I felt like I was dreaming just it was real. So with this Said. If you are looking for recovery and want to get clean and sober I personally support and suggest that you go to Hickory Treatment Center and want your recovery and want to change nothing changes if nothing changes group meetings are the best peer leadership is those such as me knowing I need the help and tools to become a better person. The groups you are put in outside of the peer lead have case managers that are top of there professions and are people just like us on the same level and they know what they are doing so with that said if you really want recovery Hickory Treatment Center is the best.
Now I have to give the team a shout out.
