Forever recovery is really a rehab that is a bit different from other places. They have an open ended program, which means you got to stay as much as you need to finish your program. In my viewpoint this is much better, than if it would be only 30 days, since you really only leave when you and the counselors are sure about that you gonna be ready to face tour life when you leave. There is a huge percentage of people who come out of the rehab and get back to drugs in months or less. I was one of those, so I felt that this was a good option to stay as much as needed, and we don\'t have this pressure that we gonna have to be ready in like 30 days and than out of the door back in life and we have to be perfect and deal with all these emotions and situations. 30 days are way too short, you still have withdrawal issues, and any time you still have these urges to use. So yes the pressure is high and you are already in this horrible state. I think it is really good you can even stay like 60 days in case you need to stay. I stayed 50 days, and it was good, when I got through detox all i was thinking about was to leave cause it was just horrible, and I just didn\'t care about getting clean, i just wanted to get high again, but the nurses helped me through and all the other staff members who were working with us. They really had a hard time with me, I think I was the hardest probably, maybe not but they helped me, they gave me vitamins, and meds when I needed, and so on, so I got through the hard part, I started on the program, which i quite enjoyed cause I could chooses between a few things, you got your usual 12 steps, Cognitive and faith based. I think this is good, cause if you don\'t like one, or don\'t believe in like god or something you can do more traditional paths. Besides the program, group meetings and counseling There was possibilities for group activities and music therapy, not a bad idea by the way. But one thing that i really liked, was that how nice the are was where the center is. It is on a huge land, really calm, you go out take some sun, relax, listen to the little birds, and you just calm down and I loved that. It was so nice to go out like that in the nature. Now that I am back home it is going really good and i am 97 clean. I think its going well. I recommend afr.

I marked "unsure" only because my daughter is still in treatment at this facility. So far it has been an outstanding facility and she is thriving there. The one on one interaction between staff and the patient. I think they should incorporate more meetings and information geared toward NA, not just AA
