With only positive interactions with every staff member, there is help anywhere you turn at RU!
I work more one on one with Samara and she always makes the communication and comfort for the clients her number one priority.
I would highly recommend Recovery Unplugged to anyone seeking a solution to their struggles.
I agreed to participate in PHP after my therapist, Dave—who was nothing short of amazing—recommended it. In the past, I had never been down for php, but there was something uniquely special about RU that inspired trust in the staff. For the first time, I felt safe and genuinely supported. It was clear to me that their priority wasn’t anything about money but a sincere desire to see me succeed and thrive.
Naturally, I was apprehensive about it because it was unfamiliar territory. It was a significant change, but exactly what I needed. It helped me maintain a healthy sleep-wake schedule after adopting one in residential, remember to take my medications at all and on time, and relearn the basic routines necessary for daily functioning—skills that had slipped away during my decade-long struggle with active addiction. While it was humbling to realize how much I had lost, the atmosphere at RU was one of mutual learning and compassion, where no one was made to feel ashamed. RU became family.
The php schedule is thoughtfully designed and despite the long days, I found myself feeling fulfilled and at peace when it was time to go to sleep. Theres a profound sense of joy and community throughout the program, and I wholeheartedly recommend completing the full continuum of care.
Unfortunately, I did relapse. But this setback was not a reflection on RU—it was about my own choices and actions. The program equipped me with every tool necessary to succeed, yet I failed to utilize them fully and communicate when I needed support. I wish it was different because I am missing this place so much. I remain deeply grateful to this place and the incredible people who make it what it is.
Special thanks to Stephen, both allys, christine, Douglas, Tracy, and above all, the incomparable Toni—the most amazing, badass person you’ll ever meet. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
I feel extremely lucky to have ended up here and presented with the tools and support needed to build and maintain my Recovery and life.
The staff was caring and down to earth, which I really appreciated.
I liked the programming and how different it was compared to past experiences. I needed something new and a fresh perspective on how to find sobriety. The PHP program was essential to me maintaining sobriety outside of residential.
Im forever grateful for my time here and glad I took that first step into those doors.
Thankyou Recovery unplugged.
Thankyou Recovery unplugged.
The best part is that they refused to sign my return to work form even after they guaranteed me that they would, and now I've lost my job and are unemployed.
Thanks for nothing Recovery Unplugged![]()
