Charles River Recovery has been a beacon of hope and healing for our family. Your overwhelming sense of compassion and dedication has been amazing. You provided not just professional care, but genuine support and understanding that made all the difference in my daughter's journey through rehab. Your personalized approach ensured that my daughter received the exact help she needed, and your constant encouragement gave her the strength to keep moving forward. Seeing her progress and regain her confidence has been such a gift. We are eternally grateful to Charles River Recovery for your unwavering commitment to her recovery and for giving us the hope of a brighter future. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being there every step of the way. We are blessed to have found you in our time of need and you will forever be family.

CRR is a very safe, effective, professionally operated environment to receive treatment from various substance abuse issues such as alcohol and narcotics. No matter where one stands in their addiction they can know that they will be given the highest level of care and treatment. I highly recommend CRR to anyone seeking treatment that truly intends to get control of their addiction and live their life substance free.

I went to Charles River a week ago and I loved it throughly. The staff is very hands on from detox to CSS. They would take the time to knock on our door so we could go to meetings, when they only had to check on us every hour. I am prone to having panic attacks and they would often hold my hand or do whatever was needed until it passed. The meetings are led by people who are former addicts which is quintessential to productivity. The food was better than expected and the beds were comfortable. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in the Boston area.

Charles River Recovery has all my gratitude and love for the Most supportive system, comfort, knowledge, healthcaring, and compassion with helping me have a successful recovery not only in the facility, but going forward once I completed the 30 day program. The experience I had at Charles river recovery was very impacting with the help from the staff members, and other patients who were also in a recovering process. Personally I felt like I was treated like family. I called the same day i decided to seek help and received a call less then a minute getting off of the phone with admissions and was told they would have a bed ready for me whenever I arrived that day. As soon as you do your intake, and meet with the nurses, your in good hands. All questions answered and any other inquiries regarding an outside of the facility was properly handled with my case mangers. The case mangers are very dedicated in helping you with any of your needs well you are in your recovery process. Even if some a case manger was busy, any of the staff members would go out of there way for you to help assist as best as they can. This helped a lot with my recovery knowing that the support system they had, made me worry less with anything I had going. In regards to the recovery process, they are very determined that you are getting the proper medication, well cooked and healthy meals, daily group sessions, 1 to 1 therapy sessions, and aftercare plans for when you have completed the program. Overall the experience I had at CRR was truly amazing for me especially for me as I checked myself in not having an idea about it. I truly believe I was in good hands and I received the best treatment to keep enjoying and living a healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally. I would like to thank Charles river for a wonderful treatment and recovery and highly recommend anyone seeking treatment to Charles river for the best recovery you will get!
