I was accepted in to 12 south 2 years ago and absolutely thrived. I started building meaningful connections with others in recovery and started to become the man iI wanted to be. Since then I have accomplished many things and. A couple months ago I decided that i needed a little more therapy because Its always better to have a professional to talk to. I knew exactly where I was going to go. Their therapists and clinicians are very knowledgeable and the have a wide range of different knowledge when it comes to recovery. The housing is clean and there is fellowship. Words can’t express how grateful i am for 12 south. They have played a huge roll in my success.

I feel truly grateful and thankful for the staff and facility for changing my life. I entered to do 90 days and ended up almost 5 months because it is what I needed. I felt supported with both case management and my personal therapist. I was given the tools I needed to be successful. I left feeling prepared to take on my life again and support from facility if needed. If you want to change your life and willing to do the work and take suggestion this is where freedom from addiction can be found. Thank you for my life back and my family is truly grateful as well to have me back.

I am extremely grateful for my life changing experience at 12 south recovery. They gave me the guidance, hope and education I needed to tap into the best version of myself. Ownership is very hands on and they do a sensational job at making you feel like a part of the family. I would recommend 12 south my own family or close friend. If your reading this and struggling with addiction or mental health, give them a call. It will be the best decision you ever made.

Coming to 12 South was the absolute best decision I could have ever made. All of the staff genuinely cares about their clients and teaching them a way to live and thrive in life sober. I learned a ton of tools in dealing with life without alcohol and found my self worth through the process. They are an exceptional group of caring individuals who truly changed my life.

Hi, I just wanted to take a minute to thank 12 South Recovery for saving my life. My whole life was a total wreck and I was super scared of going to treatment. First, thank you to Tj and Sean for calming my nerves. They were the first ones who helped me admit and get settled. I would also like to thank my therapist and case manager for helping me open up and face things head-on for the first time Ever! The therapy was top notch and the staff made you feel like they genuinely cared and rooted for your success.

The staff. I’ve never seen staff at a treatment center work as hard as they do to make sure that all of the clients are well taken care of. Every time you’re struggling with something, they always pull you aside and look for all the ways they can help, make light of your situation, and help you resolve your issues. Which was very important for me because I was facing heavy criminal charges, along with the emotional trauma from the wreckage of my past and bridges I’ve burned. As cliche as it sounds, I came out the other side with a complete new life than I had. Failure was never an option for anyone who works at 12 South.

Our daughter has been to countless treatment centers so I would like to think my wife and I have seen it all. The day our daughter arrived, we received a phone call from her case manager introducing themselves as the point of contact going forward. From there we knew our daughter was right where she needed to be. We gained an overwhelming sense of peace. There was no smoke and mirrors from the admissions representative, and everything they assured would happen did.
