Avenues Recovery Center at New England's Online Review Report Card

Excellent drug and alcohol rehab program run by some really genuine and caring people. I have had several friends and a sponsee that have gone through Avenues/lived at the housing and they have all had nothing but good things to say about the program and staff. If you or a loved one are struggling with drugs & alcohol, give these guys a call and they will do whatever they can to help!

I have currently been here at Avenues for five months. My experience thus far has been fantastic. When it comes to recovery, community is the most important factor to me because it's what is going to keep me sober. The community here gives me the chance to help another alcoholic which essentially helps me. The staff is amazing and truly is here for me. Any staff member here would be more than happy to hear me out when it comes to concerns about myself or another client. They have helped me in so many different ways to help me realize that I am capable, lovable, smart, and ready to find the person that my Higher Power has been waiting for me to find my whole entire life.

This was my first time in treatment so i was unsure what to expect. I am a month in here and its been a really positive environment. I have my ups and downs but there is always a staff member or therapist around to talk it out. The men's house is very including and the men here truly care about each others well being and success. The days at the center in Concord are good as well and so are the various weekend activities. The staff is very knowledgeable about addiction and recovery and are willing to work with you in the best of their abilities. It is not intimidating and it is a very safe environment. Many people will stay as long as they need to be sure they will have a successful recovery and overall this is a great place to start their recovery.

Avenues has saved my life. The program is excellent and the staff are even better - they truly care about each and every client. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone.

This program is unlike other programs I have attended in the past. It has pushed me out of my comfort zone, which was necessary to help me realize what I really needed to change about my old behavior and thinking patterns. Also, the structured housing model has helped me to practice discipline and responsibility, that I did not have before.I've tried a million times to get off opiates/dope in the past and nothing worked. Detoxes, spin dries, a halfway house, and my own will did not work. The Avenues Extended Care program has changed my life because the groups I attend during the day are on so many aspects of recovery, they are different from the normal generic groups at other places I have been.The staff are exceptionally compassionate and use their own experiences from their own recovery to help clients in their journey. For example, on my first week here, group facilitator Vincent used his personal experiences in early recovery to help me in my darkest moments, when I thought I wouldn't make it. There is also a facilitator who is very knowledgeable in yoga and mediation, so there is great variety in the daily schedule. Now I am 54 days clean and I have never been happier. I am eternally grateful to Avenues for their unique approach.

Avenues is the one thing I was missing during two previous attempts to get sober. They provided me a safe structured environment where I could bond with other men in recovery and dig deep into the underlying causes and conditions preventing me from staying sober. My only other focus at first was to establish a healthy recovery routine and little by little, slowly feather life and all of life's chaos into that routine.The staff is absolutely top notch and the Clinical Director in particular is a huge part of what makes this program work so well. I'm forever grateful to all of them. - KC

Avenues has changed my outlook on life, my confidence in my ability to stay sober and provided me with the tools I need to live a successful and happy life. I had no idea what to expect when I arrived here but it didn't take me long to feel at home. The various groups and activities helped show me ways to live a sober, exciting and productive life. I am extremely lucky and grateful to have had the opportunity to go through this program. This experience has completely changed my life and put me on a path I am proud to be on.
