Centered Recovery is a well thought out, professionally run, and highly effective program. They help foster personal connections and growth in their group setting, while also helping each individual learn how to best manage their sobriety. The virtual IOP option makes the treatment more convenient, but does not lessen the effectiveness. Reed, Krista and their team have been an absolute God send to me and my family. I could not recommend this place any more. Ten stars!! read more

I have been involved in a couple of different approaches to recovery - I can truly say that Centered's approach has easily been the best and most effective for me. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the ideas and teachings I have learned here have been life changing. Unlike other (e.g. 12 step) approaches to recovery that teach the individual to view themselves as an addict, the curriculum that Reed and team have put together focus on the underlying processes and mechanics that are at the root of all addictions. A surprisingly little amount of time is actually spent talking about addiction directly, because the program is more broad and provides clients with a holistic new way of being in the world. Recovery from addiction is a natural secondary effect from this learning, but clients can expect to see meaningful improvements in nearly every aspect of their lives on their path to a life of greater peace and ease. The curriculum draws from numerous sources and is not dogmatic or limited by orthodoxy. Meditation, mindfulness, and a better understanding of one's true "self" stand out as cornerstones of the approach at Centered. I recommend Centered, without caveat, to anyone struggling with addiction, behavioral challenges, or mental health issues. read more

Centered Recovery has been great! They have been very instrumental to my recovery and I would highly recommend them! Their staff truly cares, and wants to help in any way possible! read more

I was in IOP at centered recovery about a year ago. At the time, I didn't feel others could feel how I did. I remember when I was discharged, being told to call if I ever needed help. I didn't think that was a genuine so I buried it away in my memory banks as an automated response. However, to my surprise.. I needed a little guidance, and I remembered that offer over a year ago. And I called. Someone I recognized picked up and we spoke for 25 minutes. I am very thankful for the individuals at Centered for having my back always. read more

The recovery community is dominated by a notion that addiction is a spiritual malady that must be repressed and controlled throughout life with rigorous study, meeting attendance, sponsorship, and more. While I will not try to convince otherwise someone for whom a 12 step program works in restoring a healthy and meaningful existence, this approach is not for everyone. Some balk at the requirements, both real and perceived, of a 12 step program and never get past the door. Others make extended, sincere efforts to engage but find themselves unable to make lasting progress within the 12 steps. For individuals in this situation, the near universally held belief that ______ Anonymous groups are the only path to recovery can be crushingly demoralizing. The thought may arise, "If this path is the only hope then perhaps for me there is no hope." I found myself in this devastated situation having engaged the 12 steps through sincere and extended efforts but no closer to lasting sobriety that allowed me to live life healthfully as I chose and without harming those I love. Extended efforts to find another path thankfully led me to Centered Recovery. In talking with Reed before intake, I became hopeful for the first time in years that I could conquer my addiction. Further, I understood that the program would not focus on putting one's trust in an external power but rather in recognizing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and through understanding oneself achieving a state of greater control. The gift of Centered Recovery comes in learning that recovery can be built from within by understanding thoughts and emotions are not you. A thought to drink or use, no matter how deviously clever, or an emotion, regardless of how cripplingly powerful, need not govern one's actions or alter one's equanimity. Our society reinforces a belief that thoughts and emotions are the essence of who we are and predetermine how we will act in the world. Centered has taught me a different way of understanding that frees me from destructive cycles of action that I had come to think inevitable. Learning through the lens of Centered, a person is exposed to a view of the self and our actions in the world that is shockingly simple. The baseline perspective is indeed so uncomplicated that it can be hard to digest. From the beginning, I began to sense the program was providing structure to understanding of the self and my actions that I intuitively knew as a child but let go of under the influence of societal teachings and my own thought and emotion heavy path in adulthood. I was reminded of what I had known and given a framework to consider and discuss it. Consistently, I have observed at Centered clients struggling to grasp the message but over time having it click in their understanding. Not only does this allow cessation of harmful substance use but often bears other beautiful gifts such as the removal of painful burdens such as anxiety, anger, resentment, paranoia, and other psychological pain. Clients report resolution of problem behaviors, mental health difficulties, and frustrations in their lives that seem not directly related to addiction and that they had no hope would be addressed when they first walked through the door at Centered Recovery. Such transformation would be beneficial for many in our society even without issues of substance abuse. However, it is often only reaching a rock bottom that opens the mind to the need for change. A further gift in this approach to sobriety and heightened equanimity is that it does not require daily struggle to maintain. The understanding is both simple and profound and once internalized universally applicable in living a healthier life. read more

I found Centered Recovery to be a harbor in the storm. I gained an understanding about myself through our group settings which allowed me to calm anxiety and become centered.

This has been without a doubt the single most impactful recovery treatment I've ever had the opportunity to take part in. This organization got it right and has the true treatment to sobriety through this mindfulness treatment. Reed is absolutely amazing and it's a blessing that I called one morning and had the opportunity to speak with him. He let me know them that if I could grasp this, that I would experience the enlightenment and consciousness that Bill W. experienced when he first got sober. When he had the experience with God. Reed said that it could happen fast and could change my life and that's absolutely what happened. Every time I step into the room I can see and feel it. And I've been taught by Reed and the team members I've met (Krista, Robert, Branton, Lauren, Kelsey, and Maureen) how to incorporate this into every moment of my life with no effort. It is amazingly enlightening, powerful, and effective. No other method could have the impact that I've experienced on this journey. And the most amazing part is that this mindfulness and consciousness approach applies to every single area of life and allows me to tap into the power that is innately inside of us without effort or painful toil. This program has blessed my life so much. I would not only recommend this to people who may have a struggle with addiction, but I would recommend that all people go through this curriculum. It would greatly benefit our society if it were woven into our common core classes in our educational institutions. These are the types of curriculums that make the world a better place because they make us better people. I feel I'm at the best of educational institutions every time I'm there. Words probably can't tell the full story. I know they don't. It's an experience that blesses you every moment of your life. I'm forever grateful and thankful to you Team! Anonymous read more

In my search for peace through the years, substances were all I could ever find to quiet down the destructive thoughts in my head - thoughts of inadequacy, of not measuring up, thoughts of being alone, of always being behind, and on and on and on...not anymore. The Centered Recovery program and the incredible team that work there helped me discover the relief I've always been looking for. There is no other program or tool or means of finding inner peace out there, that I'm aware if, like the one that Centered allowed me to find. Centered is not just another program helping to overcome addictions. It is a unique place that is the difference between a life spent chasing external means to fix internal problems and a life lived from a place of peace and fulfillment. If you're skeptical like I was, give Centered a try, you will not regret it. read more

While I am not personally enrolled in this program, someone very close to me is. I thought it may be helpful to post a review from a different perspective - from the perspective of the "loved one of an alcoholic." This program's healing benefits don't just stop at the person enrolled. It has had a transformative butterfly/ripple effect throughout our lives as a family unit. Through instilling the practices of presence, awareness and self-love, my loved one has found a sense of inner peace and has become more centered and grounded; being thankful in the sacredness of each and every moment. Much appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to the Centered Recovery Team! read more

I was a client at Centered and successfully completed their PHP, IOP, and outpatient programs. I had been in multiple recovery programs over the last 3 years yet still struggled mightily with addiction. The mental shift that Centered Recovery brought about has completely changed all aspects my life, including total freedom from my addictions. The holistic and mindful approach advertised is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what they are able to offer and provide. I can finally put everything that used to plague me aside and live life with an unimaginable mental framework that has positively affected personal relationships, my career, my recovery. and much much more. I highly recommend their program for anyone struggling with addiction. read more

Okay. Here's what you need to know. I've pretty much done it all over the last ten years. I mean, all the substances. Jail. Homelessness. Inpatient. Outpatient. 12-step. All the steps. Therapy. Psychiatrist. Medications. Yoga. Journaling. EMDR. Running. Read books. All told I've spent over 2 years in treatment. This is a lot of things, folks. I've now been to 6 consecutive Thursday night sessions at Centered. And there's a reason I haven't missed a single Thursday, even though it's a long drive. What I am learning with the help of Centered Recovery is absolutely a game changer. And I don't even understand how it works. But by sitting and talking and puzzling and asking questions in these sessions, I have come to some powerful realizations that will forever change the way I see myself in the world, and I have found more peace per hour spent with these guys than any other route I have tried. I'm not saying those other treatment modalities didn't help me. They've all helped me, and I continue to participate in some of them. My recovery is made from many pieces and they all work together. But I have to say that for me, what I'm learning at Centered Recovery is the special sauce that ties the whole dish together. I am forever grateful to these wonderful souls. But don't take my word for it. Investigate for yourself. Which is strongly encouraged here. read more

It's been well over a year since completing Centered, here is my take: After decades of substance abuse, I turned to the team at Centered for their guidance and support. It wasn't easy to admit that I was broken and that my abuse had taken a significant toll on my physical/mental health, career, and meaningful relationships. I was steps away from the precipice of taking my own life due to my addiction, I was very sick and I hid it very well, I'm forever indebted to the exceptional people at Centered. My introduction to Centered began with Reed, he clearly outlined the program and shot straight with me from day one, noting that the process wasn't going to happen overnight - there is no 'magic pill' to recovery. Reed is the type of no bull shit you want to hear from when embarking on making a meaningful change in your life. He merely suggested that committing to being an active participant in the process was my opportunity to learn a new viewpoint as it related to my major substance issues and how to overcome these challenges. At that time, little did I know that I'd learn so much more about myself, how to manage recovery, and how to think through my thoughts-to remain sober. Reed's discussions are amazing - words cannot begin to explain his ability to share a simplistic concept of thought and how it can be translated/viewed/perceived. His friendly and kind demeanor is his key to being such a great facilitator. Upon my introduction to Reed, he took the time to have multiple conversations with my wife to ensure she was okay as well as making sure I was getting the help I so desperately needed. My next interaction at Centered was with Colin, he facilitated my intake after my stint at a local detox. Colin is an amazing man - he himself, admittedly had worked with Reed to recover from similar challenges. He was instrumental in getting me situated with the program and resources Centered provides to its clients, from scheduling to program topics. Since I've arrived at Centered he's checked in on me, made sure I was tracking with the discussion topics and has been my go-to resource when I'd get stuck during the healing process. I know he doesn't know it all - nor does he claim to - but you'd be hard-pressed to find another resource who has been in your shoes and had a similar thought, feeling or reaction during the healing process. He has introduced me to countless concepts, ideas, and tools to support me during this journey. He'll engage with you as a human being, with an honest intent to help you through the darkest of times. He pushes you when you need a push - he also lets you have the space you need to heal and grow. I've spent countless hours with both of these gentlemen and can say they'll be a part of my life going forward. They've guided me on a journey I never thought I could embark on. Look - I've read these reviews before I was ready to make the change, for years! I'm writing one now that I never thought would happen. I am a real person who can tell you that Centered truly saved my life, my marriage, my career - all the while helping me grow as a person. I've had people come up to me and say 'give me some of what you're on' and for the first time in my life - being free and clear from substances, I'm not on anything other than a path to freedom from the toxicity of addiction. Seize this opportunity - stretch your mind, it's so resilient you'll astound yourself and anyone who knows you. You CAN do it - and when you chose to do it, let Centered help - this team of amazing people can help you find your way to a better life and the freedom you deserve. read more

I have been dealing with alcoholism for years and this is the first program that addresses "me" as the root problem. Centered's approach is unique. They teach you that alcohol is not your problem, that is is a solution to a much bigger issue, our thinking. I am actually out of state, and during this pandemic, they where able to assist me in my recovery through Zoom group interactive classes. Even though I have never meet any of the instructors in person, they provided a personal touch and wonderful insight! I would highly recommend Centered. They made me understand things in a simplistic way so I may continue on my journey in sobriety. read more

What can I say about Centered Recovery and the wonderful folks that have dedicated their lives to helping people overcome addiction and live their best life. Looking back at where I was before going to centered vs. where I am at now is astounding. The program for me was more than just dealing with substance abuse issues but it has provided me with tools and an understanding of my thoughts, mind and body that extend into daily life. The mindfulness teachings and practices have given me ways to deal with stress and everyday life outside of recovery. The structure of the program was not intimidating nor did they ever make me feel like I was less of a person for having taken my life down a path that was not healthy or productive. I cannot thank the team at Centered enough for being there for me and providing this wonderful program. The class structure is set up to allow you to be in a safe space with wonderful staff and I made several new friends with other participants and we continue to support each other. If you are reading this and think you may need help please give them a call. They will listen, answer questions and support you from the 1st conversation. Please get the help you need from somewhere, but Centered Recovery's program will give you so much more than recovery from addiction. If nothing else come to one of their support group sessions that are open to the public and ask the folks for their opinion of the program and how it has helped them. I am grateful every day for having gone to Centered Recovery and continue to be thirsty for knowledge to continue deepening the understanding of my mindfulness practice (life). read more

I can't say enough great things about Centered Recovery. After years of struggling with my alcohol addiction and white knuckling a 12 step program with no sustained success, I am finally at a place where I am not only sober, but free from the dark cloud of my addiction. After a terrible spell where I ended up in detox and rehab and spending almost 30 days at an inpatient and a sober living facility, I was not making any progress. I drank mainly to deal with crippling anxiety that made it difficult to get though the day without alcohol to quiet the never ending story in my mind. At Centered Recovery, I was shown how to recognize and deal with my anxiety and after three sessions went from not being able to get through the day due to anxiety to being anxiety free. The drinking naturally stopped as a result of learning how to deal with the anxiety. The entire approach was to focus on my thinking and how I viewed the world. Very little time was spent talking about alcohol and instead time was spent on the root cause for me - anxiety. The wonderful side effect of their approach is that not only am I happily sober, but the ability to be present in the here and now, mindful, translates into every aspect of my life. I now know I can handle any situation, good or bad, and not rely on a substance to get through it. I feel better now than I have in 10 + years and the beauty is there is no effort to my sobriety. There is no reason to change my thinking, or try to resist certain thoughts - it's simply a function of accepting that which is and not resisting life as it unfolds in front of you. Centered Recovery saved my life and I will be forever grateful for their help. If you are struggling with addiction please reach out - help is available and it can change your life. It sure changed mine. read more
