Really like this app! Keeps me connected to the people I was in rehab with and employees of Recovery Works, who did an AWESOME job with me during recovery. Employees REALLY care and are very knowledgeable about addiction. They've become my extended family! Seeing people I friended at Alumni Meetings is great! I still keep in touch with a lot of people I met at RW Merrillville. Also making friends in other States. If I travel to those States, I can reach out & find meetings to go to. It's reassuring to know that if I need anything, I can always reach out. THANK YOU RECOVERY WORKS MERRILLVILLE! You're a very BIG part of my continuing recovery!

As I sat here and read all of the previous reviews it probably would of stopped me from going. Recovery is what you want to make it. If trivial stuff like the age of the staff or phone time, not seeing a family member stop you from turning you life around you might as well stay sick. This was the FIRST rehab I've been to where I can say staff does care and I did the follow up with 3 extra weeks at PHP and that's where you learn the most. The time spent at inpatient is to save your life management of crisis mode. Now, if you want to go to a bad rehab try out the Salvation Army on Tibbs in Indy that right there is bad. I'm glad I went they do tons of activities, games, contests, prizes ect. If u do go take a coloring book markers any kind of mind distraction bc yes there's alot of you time in there its nice to have something for your hands to do. You can smoke there the food is decent. I'm happy I went!!! Thank You to all the staff! I hope I don't see ya again!! Lol!

Excellent facilities, staff and curriculum. Been to Hazelden, Gateway, Ashley Addiction Center and Recovery Works stands heads and heels above.

I came here and was amazed by the staff. The facilities were clean and comfortable. Of course you’re going to get people complaining. Detox Is an extremely uncomfortable process, both emotionally and physically. You’re getting emotions back and that is not fun when you’re use to suppressing them with chemicals. However, I found that the staff made themselves available at all times and went out of their way to make sure you knew you weren’t alone in this process. The staff is also there for encouragement and support even after you leave and genuinely cares and celebrates your milestones. I highly recommend Recovery Works!

They changed our lives. 1. They let my husband and I attend together. 2. Your allowed to smoke! 3. The saff truly do care about each and every person that comes through the program. 4. Hands down the BEST rehab in INDIANA. 5. Food is great. 6. Facility is very clean. 7. The curriculum was good, along with the groups. 8. The nurses are AMAZING!! IF i could give this place 100 stars I would. Be yourself. Remember that you are there for you. Bring a blanket and pillow from home, it does get chilly in there, don't forget a coat because you do go outside to smoke. And remember easy does it, recovery is a process. God bless. -The Klawons
