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.

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
Justin Walker, The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper Alumni
The Staff was phenomenal. A lot of them are in recovery as well so they know what you’re going through.
Peer Support
Isaiah Richardson, The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper Alumni
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
Joseph McDermott, The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper Alumni
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
Justin Walker, The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper Alumni
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.
