Aventa

Aventa was amazing!! The staff were patient, kind and talked to me straight up about what I was doing. The doctor and nurses were helpful in getting me on the correct medications to deal with my mental health. Not many programs offers that kind of wrap around services. The trauma program helped me to start to heal from the years of trauma I suffered. I still have lits of work to do so zi am going to Phase 3, but I am more confidence, I found my voice. The addiction is not always in control of me. The facility is beautiful and the food is great. Thank you Aventa for saving my life. Treatment is the hardest thing you can do but you do have to surrender and trust the process.

Very unprofessional, unempathetic, and incompetent staff. Many staff members enable and flourish a mean girls environment. Jessica liked to play dumb and enable unruly clients. Maria likes to get emotionally out of control and rub in the clients faces about how hard she worked for her degree. Linda likes to talk about how she loves the rules but does nothing. Janet takes the sides of the catty girls in the facility. Most people are not truly physically or emotionally safe in this facility. I ended up risking myself of homelessness by leaving this facility, and because of that, I greatly benefitted my recovery. I have over 7 years clean now and I am grateful for many places that are amazing that have helped me along the way! I ended up having to go on sleep medication to sleep because of how toxic this environment is.

I had a great experience at Aventa I have been clean for 3 years I attend the Birthday celebrations last week it was great to se so many women celebrating their milestones. Staff are awesome it was great to see them again. Very caring and compassionate I am proud to be an Alumnae of Aventa.

My wife completed the long term program at Aventa, she has not used in over 4 years. Aventa helped to heal my wife so she could overcome her addiction, this helped to change and improve the lives of everyone in our family. We were all being negatively impacted by her drug addiction, we lived in fear daily of losing her to an overdose, now we are blessed each day through her ongoing recovery. I didn't know how to help her, our family doctor recommended Aventa. As a husband and a family who has lived through the impact of having a wife and mother who struggles with addiction, we are forever grateful.

My daughter attended Aventa 6 years ago she attended a couple other treatment facilities before going to Aventa but none had the expertise in trauma and was only for women. The Aventa program made a huge difference, she connected with other women who shared similar experiences, she said that she felt safe and understood. My wife and I attended the family program which helped us tremendously as a family. The counselling staff were very professional and compassionate. I highly recommend Aventa to any woman seeking gender specific addiction treatment. Thank you for giving us back our daughter. She is thriving, she is engaged and has a great job. She just celebrated 6 years in recovery. We are so proud.

At first I was impressed by the facility and they staff and the seemingly organized flow. However, that quickly unraveled. You will be heard like cattle from meal to group to meal. You are allowed to smoke, only at specific times and they purposefully do not allow these times to be after a meal, because they want to break that habit. I wanted to quit so bad, I was on the patch and the gum but was offered no other kind of talk therapy help. I was not successful in quitting. There are so many patients, unless you really stand out for one reason or another, good or bad, staff will never learn your name, and certainly not your story, or put any extra effort into helping you. There is an outrageous amount of strange rules and what times you can and can't do things. They pin groups of girls against each other, the girls that have been there for 3 weeks longer never talk to the newer groups, they pass down some resentment that then the now older girls resent the newer girls
