This is the second time my son has gone into a sober living house after rehab. The first time was on the east coast where we live and there was very little supervision/support/accountability from that house. My son moved out and did well for awhile back home with us and then moved out on his own. Eventually he was back to his addiction and found Graceland on his own through Instagram. We are a very close family and were beyond hesitant for him to be on the west coast dealing with his issues without our physical support and presence. It has honestly been the best decision for our son despite how difficult it was to let go and let Graceland help. It might seem strange to let addicts direct and hold accountable other addicts but they know all about this problem and the hold it has. The staff have worked the program and can encourage and relate to what each new house mate is going through. We were able to attend Sunday family zoom meetings which were incredibly helpful realizing the similarities addicts deal with making us more aware and giving us a better understanding of our son's mindset. We were able to connect with an AA support group of other parents going through this with their own children. Not to complain, but to encourage each other. Our old way of helping our son was not working so Graceland was truly a Godsend. If you love someone who is an addict you know the constant worry for their safety and health. The staff responded quickly to any of our questions. My son was actually hospitalized twice while there due to anxiety/ depression. The staff could not have been more helpful. My son also has Crohn's disease requiring 6 month infusions. Even with covid, the staff got him to those infusions. He was even given help getting a job and lots of encouragement dealing with the stresses that go with everyday life. We are beyond thankful that our son has made it through the program at Graceland and is a graduate. We believe staying for the year and making those longterm connections and being held accountable, changing his mindset and habits is a good foundation to continue his sobriety. Praying all who maybe haven't had success elsewhere and get the opportunity at Graceland are determined to see it through to graduation and beyond to a better life. read more

Patrick Ridge has an awesome message, so much so I'm writing this from Australia without having even been there but I can say for certain the visibility of this place and the stories that I hear have honestly helped me to cut down on and eliminate some parts of my own addiction issues. Just great to be scrolling and be reminded of such an important part of not only my life but the lives of so many of my mates. It's so good and rare to see a genuine, positive example of what can be done, how you can think, what you can change. I've never even reached out and their online content has genuinely helped me in a bunch of ways, even just literally as a positive, entertaining, relatable distraction for a craving which I have used many times. Nothing like a bit of good advice, and visibility of people in recovery just like me to get your head back on the straight and narrow. I live in Australia, in the last 6 months I've gone from heavy poly-drug use to medically controlled and monitored use for the purpose of reduction to safely stop. I have not been to this ranch nor have I met Pat but I am so grateful for their existence from the literal other side of the planet, I have full confidence that Graceland is doing exactly what it was built for and changing peoples lives not only on site but as an idea to many others. Online judgement is far from helpful at times, and there is no way to know either way, but to say that this place is not helping people is just to ignore evidence - I haven't even been there and I have benefitted. People that say its bad, rate it 1 star etc., have not had their lives worsened, their addiction strengthened, they've just seen a method they don't agree with or a situation that makes them uncomfortable. The existence of this place has helped me and as shown MANY others. Any place on earth doing that these days is faultless to me. Thanks to Pat, Veronica and all the genuine legends in your videos. Wish everyone the best! read more

I am a beyond satisfied & grateful resident here at Graceland Ranch. The staff here offers so much love, support, and excessive amounts of time to save our lives. It's teaching me to have integrity, to live honestly, to be accountable for my actions, and helped me discover & strengthen my relationship with God. They guided me to salvation from my dark path of addiction which was leading me to death. I had lost myself, my family, and everything in my life..but here they are loving me back to life. I am not perfect or cured, because this is a daily reprieve that I must practice everyday, but if it wasn't for Graceland graciously opening their doors for me and allowing me to develop these skills to rebuild myself, my relationships with family, and finally start to love myself..a mother would have had to bury her daughter, they have saved my life. Today, because of Graceland and the staff (Danielle, Pat, Mikey), I have found love, they are loving me until I fully love myself, and I now have a new family who understands and supports me everyday. God has done for me what I could not do for myself by placing me here to be with them read more

Graceland Ranch pulled me from the depths of hell and breathed such life within my lips that i revived and survived. Graceland Ranch helped me find employment and drove me to work each day. Pat and Danielle genuinely care about each and every person who comes into the house. If you are trying to get and stay sober...they will meet you where you are at and love you until you can love yourself. This is a life changing one year program that has granted me a second and third chance at life. It took me months to surrender my old bad habits and Graceland never gave up on me. Ive seen the toughest cases...people who everyone else gave up on....grow into happy competent capable citizens. Graceland ranch is like a great sculptures shop...and people come in here like broken down statues...there is a rumor going around...that one day...some of us...will be brought to life. Thats whats going on here. -LIVING PROOF read more

I'd like to clear something up. This is a DIY sober living. The folks who are bashing this place don't know how recovery works. This is simply a group of alcoholics/addicts who live together and are helping each other maintain sobriety. If you're in recovery you know how important this concept is. It seems like it's not an accredited sober living so they can't take insurance so, no they are not body brokering. The dude Pat is making a living off of something he is passionate about (sobriety). Who cares? Mind your business and stop trying to bring down something just because you don't like how your mind interprets it on the internet. I wish I could quit my life and come here to be honest. Keep it up, Pat. read more

I just spoke to Danielle, she was a consummate professional. She returned my phone call right away and she really took the time with me to talk to me, answer all my questions and took the time ask me questions and was very genuine. The reason I called was that I knew someone that went there and told me it was the best decision he ever made. That the staff was professional and caring. Everyone is held accountable, that it's very structured, and they really make you put in the work. After seeing and talking to my friend and witnessing the positive impact that Graceland has had on my friend and speaking to Danielle, I will be making arrangements to send a family member. read more

Absolutely the BEST rehab you will EVER go to, hands down! Not only do they care about their residents and their sobriety, but they care about their families, their needs, and more! They constantly show love, consideration, compassion, and GUIDANCE!!! Not only do they help people within their living environment, but those who are struggling on the outside as well. So do I recommend this place? I couldn't imagine a more well designed rehab with any better people to run it than the Ridges, and the others... in other words, yes I HIGHLY recommend this place to any and EVERYone struggling with substance abuse and seeking help out of the lifestyle. read more

The person running this place called Patrick is on social media and records everyone, make the tell there past. Patrick yells at people very aggressive, he dosnt let people talk. When he acts like he is trying to help someone he bullies them makes them crash out and blames othe people that was in the battle on social media. To make people feel like they are nothing so you can get them to come to graceland is just absolutely wild. These people are not you toys or puppets they are human and normal people. To belive them a second chance and to get them the right help is not how you are doing it. read more

My son has been at Graceland Ranch Sober Living for almost a year! It has changed his life for the better. Graceland has given him the tools and understanding of how to use them to stay sober for life, it will now be up to my son to decide how to use them! I have total confidence that he will stay sober because he chose to go to Graceland. This past year at Graceland has not just taught him how to get sober, it's taught him how to live a clean life in all aspects of living, how to be responsible for his own actions in life and how to respect others and himself! It's a fantastic place! read more

I've been exposed to addiction treatment for over 30 years and Graceland Ranch is doing more for my loved one and than any other place has done for them. The warm and loving environment welcomes family and support systems for the recovering addict. The vibe has provided the time and space for miraculous transformation that is ongoing! They have a sincere open line of communication. I wish all those desiring sobriety would consider Graceland Ranch for their long term recovery solutions. PS: I'm not a paid reviewer. Those claiming 5 star reviews to be "paid" are unfounded and bogus. read more

The way that Pat, Veronica, Danielle, and Madison just to name a few of the wonderful people that make Graceland the ideal place to get sober. They are hard but super nurturing and positive. They will call you out on you're downfalls, you're big ego what ever it is that is holding you back from being a better version of yourself, as addicts this is what we need to strive and grow and move forward. They all have this wonderful way to make everyone feel like it's a home, not just a rehab/sober living. It's a family. Forever, thankyou helping from afar. Peace and love read more

These people are doing God's work. They help addicts get sober. It's not easy work, addicts are some of the best manipulators, and to love an addict is heartbreak. I am a recovering addict myself, and I follow this facility on YouTube and I love to see not just the good stuff but the hard stuff, too. Seeing these people help heal others gives me hope that there is more to recovering than just the suffering. They have an awesome community, and they are there for their residents in a way you don't see from most facilities. Keep up the good work, Pat and Veronica! read more

These people are here to help. people who can't get in or can't get funded seem to get upset and leave startling horrid reviews and haven't ever set foot in the estate. Patrick and his staff does all he can to help the best way they know how. and it's very effective. no excuses need to be made for anythin. Results speak for themselves. Saving our youth in America is very important. People who have never known anyone who had ever been through this process or program are saying things they have no idea about. great people here. Doing very important great work!!! read more

Coming to Graceland has positively changed my life in many ways I came here for this program from northern Virginia and it has helped make me into a better person all around it has positively changed my health physically and mentally and spiritually it has straightened my relationship with my family to a new and profound way, I have come to know Jesus in a much more deep and powerful way and I am extremely grateful for the staff here and all they have done for me and my family I recommend this house for anyone trying to make real life changes. read more

This is a really special, safe, structured sober living. The team is absolutely amazing and are truly interested in helping people struggling to build lives worth living. This place is not like any other place I have seen or been to. The care and support right there on the ground is real. The home itself is stunning. There's a real sense of healing that you can feel and is being proven by the lives being transformed there. If you or anyone you know is in need of help I would highly recommend giving Graceland Ranch a call. They'll answer. read more

I have been living here at Graceland Ranch for almost 6 months and I am absolutely amazed at the results so far! I have been struggling with drugs and alcohol for over 20 years and I have been to over 10 different types of sober livings and programs. Nothing has gotten me so far in my sobriety and closer to God than this house and structure has.... it is truly a miracle! I am so blessed to have found this house and this amazing support group. For once in my life I truly feel like I have an honest chance at staying sober and being happy! read more

Love what you guys have done for so many people and proud of how far everyone has came! Pat's story has changed my outlook on life and I love seeing updates on how things are going at the Ranch! Any type of rehabilitation is a battle but you guys go up and beyond to show how much you care and understand what your tenants are going through by continuing to try to lift them up instead of showing any type of negative judgement. I think you have an amazing thing going and wish nothing but the best for each and everyone at the Ranch! read more
