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.

“When my life became unmanageable and unbearable.”

“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.”

I had an incredible Experience at the recovery Village the staff were very professional. They treated me well when I was scared they made me feel better. I didn’t know what I was walking into because I never have been in recovery before and they made my time. They’re very pleasant.

Neesy M.
Probably one of the best experiences I've had in a inpatient rehab facility. The staff are so great and they treat you with respect and a caring heart. I felt as if I were at home but learning the right tools to help me be successful in my recovery journey. The tools I've learned here, I still apply to my life currently. I've been clean and sober for 1 year and the things I've learned from this facility play a big role in my successful recovery journey!
