Red Oak Recovery® Testimonials
ROR was referred to us by a trusted friend. After multiple relapses and a stint in jail, we presented the Red Oak Recovery® option to our son, and he agreed to go. The son we dropped off at ROR one January was not the son we picked up 95 days later. His physical, mental, and emotional transformation was obvious. And in those 95 days, we were transformed as well. Our son is sober and thriving. And the relationship we have with him today is better than ever! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

I brought my son to Red Oak to stop his substance abuse. They provided so much more than that. The family counseling helped change our entire family, and my son was confident, accountable, and focused at the end of his time at Red Oak. Thanks to everyone at Red Oak for changing our future.

Red Oak has had a profound effect on my life. I have grown tremendously – mentally, physically, and spiritually. The staff is very supportive and understanding all the way through. I have become a better person than I ever thought I could be with the help of Red Oak Recovery®.
– Alumni, age 21
I came to Red Oak Recovery® broken and angry. I had been to four previous inpatient treatments and had relapsed over and over. I am a heroin addict. I had been fighting the disease for about 8 years. I learned to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and to deal with life on life’s terms. I learned how to be strong. I also had to be open, honest, and willing in order to get what I got out of Red Oak. It wasn’t always easy, and it could get very difficult, but it was so worth it. I started by getting honest and vulnerable with my therapist, and she helped save my life.

Red Oak gave us our son back. The methods used, and the in-depth therapy figuring out exactly where our son was coming from and what he needed was amazing. Thank you.

Red Oak Recovery® is an excellent facility with top-notch personnel. My son left with amazing skills and a willingness to continue his growth. I attribute his success to his therapist working and guiding him in the right direction. This has been a very positive influence on my son’s sobriety. I am very grateful for ROR. I would highly recommend ROR to anyone seeking a healing place.

When you get here, it will be normal to feel a wide range of emotions. Some good, some bad, but if you push through, do the work, and follow the suggestions of the staff/therapist, I am most certain you will be happy you did.

Red Oak Recovery® changed me for the better despite my constant aversion to doing so. It made me realize how much fun I can have sober, as well as helped to bring out the real me. This community is a second family.

We drove up to Red Oak full of anxiety, but as soon as we parked, we met warm people and a therapy dog. We left feeling our son was in a safe place. Red Oak supported us through the process, and when we picked our son up at graduation, our son looked healthy and happy. We feel grateful we found Red Oak.

ROR was referred to us by a trusted friend. After multiple relapses and a stint in jail, we presented the Red Oak Recovery® option to our son, and he agreed to go. The son we dropped off at ROR one January morning was not the son we picked up 95 days later. His physical, mental, and emotional transformation was obvious. And in those 95 days, we were transformed as well. Our son is sober and thriving. And the relationship we have with him today is better than ever! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Jordan, Lynn, and the entire ROR team!
– Tracey & John
The Red Oak program was ideal for my son, even though he initially was resistant. He came as a heroin-addicted young adult and left a more confident, self-aware individual, capable of having the life he is meant to live. The therapists were amazing; the activities and life skills taught my son so very much and will serve him well as he moves on to transitional living. He made good friendships and gained valuable insight to help him navigate relationships and many other situations in the future. The family workshop was insightful. In short, we have our son back and have Red Oak to thank for it from the bottom of our hearts.
– Mom of 22-year-old
Our experience at Red Oak, from check-in to check-out, was amazing. From enrollment to accounting, guides, group therapists, and, most importantly, our incredible therapists that we worked with. We are forever grateful to Derek Rutter and Lynn Wadsworth. Lynn taught us how to communicate with our son, and gently guided us through a very difficult journey. Derek, a kind and caring person, gave our son an opportunity to be vulnerable and to share his issues from drug/alcohol abuse, behavior, anger, and insecurities. Derek was able to hold our son accountable and teach him the skills to start managing his life which was a huge feat as our son was not a willing participant at the beginning of the program. Red Oak is remarkable at transitioning its clients onto an aftercare program. We were shocked our son agreed to leave Red Oak after three months and continue to a six-month program afterward.
– Mom of 19-year-old
I am so eternally grateful to Red Oak Recovery® for their sensitivity and ability to truly SEE my brother for the individual person that he is and for ultimately returning him to both himself and us. As a family of an addict, we each experienced varying degrees of panic, helplessness, frustration, and ultimately relief at the transition we saw take place in my brother. I think that the solitude of the mountains, coupled with the emphasis on activity and meditation, truly creates a haven for healing that is so necessary for the chaotic past of a person struggling with addiction. Red Oak empowers the individual to learn survivalist techniques, gardening, nutrition, meditation, and self-assurance. We are amazed, excited, and so proud to see the difference in my brother. We can’t wait to see what he does with his life now, and that is a pretty amazing place to be, considering where we were 95 days ago. Red Oak is a great place to heal and recover, and I would recommend it highly to anyone with a family member struggling with addiction—nobody is helpless. My brother is proof that anyone can struggle with addiction and anyone can get better with the right help and guidance.
