The Recovery Village Reviews

I was particularly struck by how customized the care was. They didn't adopt a one-size-fits-all strategy, which enabled me to advance significantly. The team is very supportive and the atmosphere is serene.

Are you itching for a great place to start a new era of sobriety? Recovery Village Columbus (RVC) is full of that "itch factor"; the facility offers many suites with bedbugs to keep your mind from thinking about your problems. Also there are educated professional clinicians. These folks thrive on helping others and it seems to be working as the proof is in the banana pudding. The clinicians and facilitators are genuinely here to embrace others during difficult times of need. Their efforts are commendable to say the least.

Many patients who do not attain long-term sobriety often return here for another try. This is certainly beneficial for "newbs" who often rely on the veterans to acclimate to the facility and many nuances of RVC living. Much of the orientation process is peer-patient led with lots of self guidance.

Food is an oft-contemplated consideration when selecting a rehab facility. This review focuses on the dining offerings that cannot be articulated on the corporate website or when calling Advanced Recovery Solutions (the parent company of RVC).

The food is reminiscent of familiar venues such as one of those large-scale chain buffet restaurants (remember Ponderosa?) which is comforting. Ever dined in a cafeteria with a stellar view AND a buffet with outdoor seating? It’s like that! But, as a colossal twist, there is no buffet, view or patio!

Meal efficiency is paramount; meals are served in just 45 minutes), the facility has conveniently streamlined the food choices to a single entree selection.

Accordingly, the carnivore line moves quickly and pescatarian, vegan or vegetarian folks can meander around the salad bar, engaging in conversation while searching for new ways to make the same salad different. This arrangement inspires a high degree of creativity and serves as a distraction to typical rehab monotony. Not much time passes before this nightly activity's requisite creative spirit will supersede Clients' normal addictive urges.

Kosher items are not served by default, but the facility's website suggests reaching out ahead of time for special dietary considerations or concerns. Additionally, non-plant-based chicken is periodically offered as an alternative to daily meat and fish selections.

After dinner, Clients can pass a little wind on one of the two elevators (often one is operable daily). Relax at the smoker's gazebo to digest your small, but delightfully chewy meal. Try the burrito and there is no doubt that your jaw had a great workout. It's like a Peloton for your face, with many Clients appearing at least a year younger after dinner!

The cafe (this is the term used at RVC for cafeteria) offers two snacks...almost every day! In fact, one of the snack choices is often a delicately sized portion of freshly bagged and preserved fruit. Choose wisely for the evening snack; this is the last opportunity to eat anything without extra fees until breakfast is served the following morning. Hoarding of food items, especially perishables, is strongly discouraged.

For those who miss the 15 minute snack opportunity, there is an automated vending option. Retain a credit card after your intake process as it's needed to operate the cashless vending machines. Clients like the many food and drink options. Pricing can be confusing, but they are posted in USD. Some clients assume there is a currency conversion such as pesos to dollars. Be sure to plan for the price of convenience. A debit card or low-interest credit card is the best way to fund any snack urges satisfied by the vending machine.

TIP: Groups may find one of the snack options is deleted in the event of unwelcome behavior(s). Peers should manage themselves internally as to not lose this privilege. Additionally, the vending machine is a privilege, thus rubbish must be managed appropriately. If excessive/problematic, the vending machine becomes part of the "Learn-with Leverage concept" to realign the group and regain cleanliness and order.

If you're thinking that you MIGHT need help, YOU DO! THIS IS THE PLACE. GO.
Awesome staff. You will leave with the tools for RECOVERY.

Very nice professional facility. Very pleased with the experience. Thank you very much for your time and help!

This place was great. I met a bunch of cool people that were going through similar stuff I was. Everyone was really nice and they made it as comfortable as possible for everything. I did detox first and then moved to residential. Where we learned a lot about stay sober and stuff like that. Thank you everyone that helped me. I owe you my life

The place is absolutely beautiful the gym is very nice and all the amenities there was just a few techs that I didn't get along with too well other than that it's a beautiful facility

I’m really disappointed, my first case manager did such a poor job. He rushed through everything he did and took as little time as possible. I ended up having to be moved to Troy. Troy is amazing and the only reason my discharge was planned as smoothly and timely as possible. My therapist was the most amazing therapist I’ve ever had Robbin is truly incredible at her job. Pat is also so truly amazing, he went above and beyond for everyone and always had a smile that brought me up even in the dullest of times. Although communication is poor through the facility. Groups are very informational and helped me a lot. The biggest problem being that I was receiving MAT treatment and it took a month for the sublicade shot to be ordered, trying to receive my second shot there was an issue with insurance and I never received it; I was going to another treatment the next day and they said I had got it making it almost impossible to receive suboxon while I’m waiting on my new mat clinic to get my second shot. I had to go through insurance and have them send the cancelation of my second shot to get it cleared up. They also don’t rely on the severity of the case to decide who stays in detox, res, or php they rely on the amount of time insurance pays. I was in residential for way too long while I saw others be moved up way sooner. Seems a bit like an insurance scam and when I said that Chris (my first case manager) said he feels like it’s more of a homeless shelter which was disgusting of him to say. Chris deserves negative stars. Not cool.

I’ve had nothing but good experiences with this place.. but this last one really gave me a lot of motivation to try changing my life.
