A better today recovery services Reviews

I don t usually write reviews when I m happy about something. I pretty much only do them when I m upset about something. But I m writing this review because I ve never been so impressed with patient care in my life. My mom has a chronic illness, so I ve been around doctors and hospitals my whole adult life. With patient care, you can almost always expect a mixed bag of bedside manner. That s not the case with A Better Today. I think every single person I worked with during my daughter s stay was answering his or her personal calling. Each one made us feel like they were born to help my daughter overcome her heroin addiction. They recommended that my daughter consider suboxone treatment. I was extremely concerned about it because I had heard that some people become addicted to suboxone. But they explained how it works to my husband and me and our daughter felt comfortable with it, so we decided to give it a try. Ultimately, it played a huge part in our daughter s recovery. But what s more, is that they knew exactly how to use it so that it never became a problem and my daughter was able to focus on therapy. We also did family therapy with A Better Today and it was the best decision we could ve made. At first, I felt bad making our son go to therapy for my daughter s addiction, but our family is stronger, healthier, and happier than ever because of our talented therapist. We truly have A Better Today to thank for the life we thought we d never get to live. If you are on the fence about going to addiction treatment, I recommend it at A Better Today. Their main goal is to help their patients overcome their addiction for the long-term and they re damn good at what they do!

I went through a 90 day program at A Better Today. I felt weak and hopeless when I first walked through the doors. I felt bad that people were going to waste their time on me because my addiction was bad. The people are so warm and friendly that I started to feel better and as I spent my days learning about addiction, learning about myself and doing what I called practicing sober life inside the treatment center, I got better. My days were structured, I ate really good food every day, and I remembered what it was like to feel like a worthwhile person again. It didn t happen overnight, it happened as I went through treatment. What they did that really helped me stay sober after treatment was help me make an aftercare plan. I worked it out with my therapist during treatment. I made a list of my triggers, ways to cope and 12-step meetings near me. I ve been hanging out with my neighbor s son who is also clean and sober. We both play the guitar and we ve been writing music together. I have a job, I pay my bills, I have a hobby. My relationship with my parents and my sister is a lot better, too. But most importantly, I have me back. That s something I thought I d never have. And it s thanks to A Better Today. It s not always easy, but in the hard moments, I have what I learned at A Better Today to fall back on. And it works.

I used to blame everything and everyone for my addiction. But then God led me to A Better Today Recovery Services. They changed the way I look at the world. A Better Today taught me how to live without alcohol and reconnect with my higher power. So thank you to everyone there. I couldn t have done it without you. Now I can say I m truly happy and I haven t had a drink in 331 days. I m coming up on my one year and it just got me to thinking about where I was a year ago and where I am now. During treatment, my counselors helped me turn my life around. They helped me to see which parts of me were the addiction and which parts were actually me. I was able break the habits that kept me addicted and whenever I feel the pull back to alcohol (usually during times of stress or nervousness), I just go back to what I learned in treatment during my individual therapy sessions and the group therapy sessions. I know these people know what they re talking about because I m living proof. The more people that go through treatment at A Better Today, the more people will be clean and sober for a long time to come. I believe that from the bottom of my heart. One word of advice though. I know some people go to treatment for 30 or even 60 days, but if you can do it, stay for 90 days. The whole 90 really gave me the time to establish some habits and break off old relationships. If you can t, use the outpatient services they offer. Because at least then you ll have the support of people who can help you for longer.

There are so many rehabs you can go to, it was hard for me to pick one. I didn t even know where to start. I don t know why I picked A Better Today but I did. I just called the number and told them I needed treatment. I had already lost my job and my girlfriend so I had no place to live. But I had an ultimatum from the judge after my third time in front of her. She said I could go to jail or rehab. I didn t want to do either one but I definitely didn t want to go to jail. At first my plan was to go to avoid jail. But after a few days, I started to realize that I really did want help. My therapist made me see that my mentality was being manipulated by meth. The longer I was clean, the more I wanted to be clean and A Better Today was there to support me every step of the way. I decided to go into their new sober living program after treatment. I live with people who understand what I m trying to do. I m working now and my mind is clear. I m sharing my experience in case someone else is where I was and doesn t know how to pick which rehab to go to. They all look the same online but A Better Today is the real deal.

I went through A Better Today's residential treatment program and would highly recommend this program to anyone with an addiction and a will to change. The incredibly warm and caring staff made my experience at their facility amazing. They gave me the tools and knowledge that I needed to stay clean and sober long after I left their program allowing me to build a full life that I never thought was possible. My parents got their son back, my sister got her brother back, my friends got their friends back and most of all I got myself back. They truly care about each and every client and they changed my life in a major way. I highly recommend A Better Today if you or a loved one are looking for help.

A couple of years ago, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child. Beautiful Gracey Rose. She told me that I had to stop drinking if I was going to be in my granddaughter s life. I wasn t prepared for how hard it would be. I went into rehab, came out and relapsed 4 times in 10 months. I felt horrible when I relapsed, so I d tell myself that I d go on one last binge and start all over. My granddaughter is now 17 months old and before A Better Today, I had only met her twice. I decided to give sobriety one more try before giving up. and that s basically because I just needed a place to spend the night. Full nights of sleep in a warm bed were far and few between by then. Fortunately, she found A Better Today for me. I went through treatment again, but this time it was different. I realized that I also suffer from Bipolar Disorder II, which was making it harder for me to quit drinking because when I felt bad, I drank. The difference was that they treated co-occurring disorders and they have a strong independent living program. I ve never been sober for this many days in a row (151 and counting!) and I don t think I could ve accomplished it without A Better Today Recovery Services and their amazing counselors. Thank you, Charles and everyone in the inpatient program. You saved this happy grandpa s life.

Not an easy thing for any person or family to deal with. However ABT was there to support us all the way. Have never met such helpful people in a recovery clinic. Big shout out to Christi, Jade, Eboni, Ron, Charlie, and all the other smiling people that helped us out. You all with a diamond in the rough spot of our life. We know that our loved one got the best care possible with them. I would highly recommend ABT!

I didn t go through treatment at a Better Today but my daughters father my ex did. It was hard to agree to let them go to the family therapy because of some incidents when he was drunk that were traumatic for them. But it turned out to be the best thing for them and him. Their dad is actually rebuilding a relationship with the girls and they are so hopeful and happy after a session. Plus, their dad has been getting out and hiking with his friends. He said he learned about nutrition and strength training and how it helps him stay sober. But it has given him the energy to spend time with the girls too. They re used to watching tv while they visit him and now they go to the park and to the trampoline jumping place. It s like A Better Today gave them their dad back. It has been a journey as their mother but the girls deserve their dad. He has been sober for about 4 months now and he has moved into their new sober living program. With that much support around him and for a longer period of time, I think he has all the tools he needs to continue with this sober lifestyle. He has been going to 12 step meetings regularly and has a sponsor. He paid some child support for the first time in a long time because he finally stayed at the same job long enough to get a paycheck. He couldn t have done it without A Better Today.

At first I hated it. It was really hard to stay there every ounce of me wanted to get up an walk out. But I didn t and the staff helped me through it. Because of applying myself to my treatment program I have 10 months of no drinking. It s the longest I ve ever gone since I started drinking at 18. I felt like alcohol was the love of my life but really it was making me lose everything that was really worth caring about. ABT isn t a perfect place, but the people who are there care and are there for you if you want them to be. There are many residential treatment programs that offer alcohol rehab in the Phoenix area, but of all of those places I m really glad that I went to A Better Today. Alcohol problems don t have to rule my life anymore.

The living situation is comfortable, 2 bed 2 bath apartments (2 people to a room). The staff members are all in recovery themselves so they are easy to relate to and genuinely care - however some of the staff members play favorites and it is very obvious and can be extremely irritating. Sometimes it can feel a little like junior high school.
