Client Reviews and Testimonials

The counselors here are one of a kind, I love them. They truly care and have had an impact on my recovery.

This program changed my life, it opened my eyes to a whole new way of life. I never completed the program but ive realized the classroom was only just the beginning of my journey. This program changed my life and helped me find an inner peace i never knew existed.

I have just started my journey at Centered Recovey about 4 weeks ago and words can’t express how fabulous this place is. The program is awesome and I’m learning a lot about myself. The staff are all professional and friendly and most of all the owners Reid and Kristin are also involved in the process. I would highly recommend this place.This place has saved my life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Centered Recovery has saved my life! This may sound flippant and cliched but it's the truth! In January this year my life was falling apart and I was heading downhill fast. Centered Recovery was recommended to me and right from the beginning all the staff were fantastic. They are kind and genuine people. Their approach to solving your addiction is unique and very special. They have provided me with the tools to live in harmony with my mind, body and spirit. And because of this my anxiety has reduced significantly. My only wish is that I could carry on attending 3 days a week. I feel I still have so much to learn from this amazing team.Thank so so much Reed and the team. I will always remember this special time.

The counselors are real. They get to the who, what, when, where, and how of an issue while maintaining the focus on the Present. They help guide you into a greater understanding of yourself and the world in which we co-create. I recommend this program to ANYONE seeking a greater bandwidth of perception and comprehension in life. The information I have learned from Centered has transformed my life and the knowledge is priceless.

Centered Recovery has changed my life! The staff is so supportive and understanding, no matter where you are in your recovery. I love their holistic approach to understanding the mind and body, and would 10/10 recommend to anyone I know! I

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 a year ago 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 tools 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 CRP 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).

Centered Recovery (CRP) is a great place to work. The staff are kind, caring, generous, and passionate about helping clients recover. The attitude at CRP is that of non-judgment and lifting clients up to meet their potential. Clients arrive to treatment with broken spirits and they leave with the hope and confidence of sustained sobriety. CRP embraces the philosophy that there is more than a "one size fits all" to recovery. If you have tried multiple times to get sober with limited success, check out Centered Recovery's unique program. It might be the missing puzzle piece you've been looking for.

Centered Recovery brings back the humanity to individuals; remove all the labels and judgements that are created from thoughts, feelings, and reactions and come back to the original state of being. It’s never too late to come back to yourself and grow into the future with a new point of view and depth of wellness.

I wish I could give infinite stars! I don’t only owe my sobriety to this program but my SANITY. Where 12 step, counseling, hypnotherapy and even drug therapy failed me, Centered Recovery succeeded me. I am no longer bound to addiction, or an “addict” mentality, but I am reconnected with a sense of self control, inner peace, power in communication and tools to manage my mental and EMOTIONAL health. I call this my “trouble-shooting” school, as it is set up in a student/learner environment. The curriculum is not suppressive but empirically confrontational, informing clients about the relationship between the mind and body, which is integral to the foundation of the program. As someone who appreciates the wonders of spirit and the steadfastness of science, I found their methods of teaching were paramount to my recovery. Even the other attending clientele regularly raved about their constant progress made using Centered's methods.The owners, therapists, facilitators, medical staff and even clientele are simply delightful. The facility is clean, beautiful and accommodating. From the application process to my last day, I was respected and encouraged. I was on a first name basis with the staff, and I could tell they intently strived to get to know me and each attending client. I honestly always looked forward to my sessions, as I attended IOP. If you or a loved one are considering Centered for a form of addiction treatment, then stop your search. I will advise, for those who have tirelessly tried to recover, you must be ready for the resolution Centered has to offer. You must be willing to accept and learn about the reality that is and is not in your control. Just show up, follow your treatment plan, and I promise that your life will be permanently changed for the better.

I had begun to lose hope. I had been to treatment before. The same old stuff kept getting peddled to me: 12 steps, God, sponsors, etc. It seems irresponsible to promote "a way to get sober" that has so little scientific backing. I understand that method helps some people and that's great, but for me it just wasn't working. And it wasn't just the alcohol; if anything, that was a symptom of a greater problem with depression, anxiety, and other issues with which I had been poorly coping throughout my life. Then I found Centered Recovery. They took a scientific approach that worked to get to the root of why I choose to drink. They taught me the neglected skill of Awareness in my day to day life that truly began to alter my thinking for the better. For the first time, I was aware of the message my body was already communicating to me: "You're miserable. You know this isn't helping." I saw so clearly what alcohol was doing to my mind and body. So, I stopped drinking because *I* chose to stop. Not because I was chasing some delusion in 12 separate steps that a Power Greater Than Myself will suddenly turn my life around in a pragmatic way. I went to Catholic school all my life and already knew that wasn't true. Centered Recovery taught me realistic techniques to practice awareness in mind and body and (as corny or BS as it sounds), I am truly a better person and a proud non-drinker. I can't recommend nor commend this institution more highly. If you have the means and want to get better, please consider this a realistic and prime option to building a better life.

Centered Recovery helped me in the way that it takes a new approach to recovery which is logical and more calculated. Rather than putting the power in faith or religion as many programs do, and expect you just to "gain strength through faith", Centered takes an analytical look at how your mind works. They work with you to help you with what personally bothers you and give you solutions and tactics to handle life. This is why I have really enjoyed it over the dated "12 step programs" that I couldn't really relate with as I'm not religious. They also don't focus on you being an addict which many other programs love to keep reminding you of and rather treat you like a person that just hasn't had proper experience to build healthy habits, and thus helps you find and learn those healthy habits. I still check in once a week just because I feel I benefit from the things learned and shared there.

As I reflect upon my time at Centered Recovery Programs, I keep coming back to the same word…”Wow!”. The Centered program not only significantly helped me with my addiction recovery, but it also made me a better person in general. Their program is based upon addressing the root cause of individuals’ addiction, anxiety, stress, worry, depression, and almost any other thought-based condition. I can easily recommend Centered as a means for just about anyone to achieve awareness and happiness in their lives. Centered is not just an addiction recovery program…it is a life altering/improving program.I want to say a rousing THANK YOU to the founders and team members—Reed, Krista, Colin, Ash, and Susan—for all the education, leadership, and support that you gave me in my quest for sobriety. I hope to remain close to the Centered organization upon completing my formal program, and I look forward to the Saturday “alumni” sessions!

I do not know where to start. Centered recovery and the staff help you to have a shift in your perspective that allows you to see life in a totally different light. At centered the staff helps you along the way to realize you are not broken and in my experience that is the shift I was looking for .

Liberation and revolutionary change are possible with Centered. Giving them a chance was the best decision I have ever made for my sobriety, mental health, and well-being. Centered Recovery Program provided the scientific knowledge, tools, and support network that inspired me to invest in a life free of self-affliction.The culture and team at Centered are remarkable. No judgement, no guilt, no shame. They are accepting, supportive, selfless, and accommodating. CRP flexibly tailors treatment based on your needs. They offer collaborative in-person or virtual educational lectures. Topics range from neuro-linguistic programming to the philosophy of consciousness. You will learn real-world skills for coping with addiction, neural remapping, and mindfulness practices with functional applications.If you are seeking help, Centered is the answer. I was skeptical. I’d explored about every avenue there is for treatment. Then I found Centered. They shattered my expectations and helped me change my perception, habits, behavior, and mind.

I abused alcohol for twenty years. Hard drinking was a part of my life every day, all day. It sabotaged my physical health and negatively affected my relationships, my career and my marriage. I was totally addicted, physically and mentally.I connected with Reed from Centered a few days after completing a seven-day detox, thus beginning my first experience with addiction therapy. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I knew enough about 12 step programs to know I wanted an alternative. Centered is that alternative!The foundation of Centered Recovery's program is focused on behavioral therapy. Addiction is not viewed as an illness or disease but a learned behavior that is strengthened by physical and neurological repetition. No steps, sponsors or mantras. Self-reflection, mental rewiring, and self compassion are offered here. The classes range from abstract philosophical thought to factual information, and you can choose whichever style best suits you.Through working with Reed, Colin, Ash, Susan and Krista, I've made some incredible discoveries about my mind, brain and body. The lessons I've learned here expand beyond treating my addiction. My entire life has changed.The result is a "Me" that experiences real freedom and genuine happiness, unburdened by the concept that I am in remission from an ailment that could strike back at any time. If you're ready for things to get better, Centered Recovery will help you see it through.

It is hard for me to explain in words how this place saved my life. I used to be addicted, not just to substances but to how I viewed the world. I had attented two "traditional" 12 step rehabs before finally landing at Centered Recovery. Centered Recovery helped cultivate insight within myself to move onward from my negative thinking, or more accurately put to be free from it. And once that happened, I was changed forever. I am now married, own a home have two dogs and a job that I love. I would not be where I am now without Centered Recovery and my friend Reed. If you are reading this review, if you feel lost, if you're not sure what your next move is, all you have to do is pick up the phone and give them a call. You will be transformed.

Centered truly saved my family. My husband, the father of my child, is with us today because of what the amazing folks at Centered taught him. Now, I will give credit where credit is due - he did a 40 day in-patient stay prior to Centered and it was certainly the catalyst to his recovery. He had to get away from the substance to then learn how to process the day to day and live a healthy and fulfilling life. Once clear headed, he connected with the Centered group leaders in a way I believe he never thought possible and discovered a new, positive way of thinking. A new way to live. He remembered how to appreciate the little things in life and what’s most important. He had completely lost sight of this when he was consumed by a substance. He’s more focused, more appreciative, more honest and more sincere than he’s ever been. Centered helped set him free and for that, I’m forever grateful.

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 of, 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. There are no tricks, no steps, no gimmicks and no working to the program...all that is necessary is a willingness to listen - that's it. And, somehow, unexplainably, relief and peace comes.If you're skeptical like I was and think "I'm sure the program worked for some but it won't for me", just give Centered Recovery and the team a try, you will not regret it.

Excellent program & excellent staff. Concept is simple and life changing on many levels. It helps put "you" back in control. No sponsors, re-living the past or being under the thumb of an invisible uncontrollable power. Discover an understanding of your thoughts and how they affect your mind and body. Learn to identify your thought created self and start living as your present self. It takes a little open mindedness and willingness to listen. The rest sort of takes care of itself. It is pretty surprising.

I only gave this place 5 stars because 6 stars wasn’t an option. 😂 Honestly though, this is truly a one-of-a-kind place. If you’re searching for an IOP that looks at the topic of addiction from a different angle, then THIS is the place for you. Mindfulness is definitely a “trending” word these days, but the classes that Reed & the rest of the staff at Centered teach go far beyond the average persons idea of what mindfulness is. Ifyou’re disillusioned with the same ol classes you’d get at a standard IOP, give this place a try. If you are open to new concept & ideas, then this program & it’s concepts will not only help deal with the drug/alcohol issues, but help change the way you interact with everyone in your life, for the better.

I'm a a huge fan of Centered Recovery. The staff there is warm and welcoming. The program at Centered has made a huge difference in my outlook on addiction. The classes and coaching have been a huge help for me overall.

This is an absolutely incredible program. People talk about things that "Changed their Life" or that something was life-changing. Usually that's hyperbole or temporary. Centered has changed my way of living and my understanding of life. Centered has permanently opened a door to a different dimension for me- I cannot unsee what I have seen and for that I am incredibly grateful. Furthermore, I now has a way of living where I can see infinite possibilities for growth and awareness.I tried to make a go of it on my own for years searching for a solution to my severe drinking problem and only found temporary reprieves with AA and self-imposed will. I thought there was no way that I could escape my drinking to cope with what I perceived as life challenges and stress and that frankly I was a lost case.What Centered has helped me to see and comprehend about my life and the world around me has been nothing short of miraculous. It is as though a switch has been thrown and I now have no desire or obsession to drink and alcohol has simply become a neutral thing. My view of life has completely shifted such that I no longer see the things that used to drive me to drink as problems or triggers. i've come to realize that it is not life that is messing with me but rather that it was my own interpretation of things and self-created persona that was causing a need to seek relief from suffering of my own creation.My relationships with my wife and family are vastly better and improving regularly, my outlook on life and career have gone from negative to positive, and I am experiencing more authentic relationships with people and the world.I came in ready to try anything, was completely open to whatever it was that would be taught or shown to me, and that I had to force myself to be patient with any kind of change or results. That mentality for me at least has allowed my investment in Centered to bring riches to my life that I never thought possible. One interesting and appealing thing to me is that discussion of alcohol or addiction is somewhat rare at Centered during the sessions and rather the focus and emphasis is on understanding and practicing a different way of living and perceiving life and which the natural by-product is to remove the things / thoughts that cause a person to drink, struggle with addiction, or generally be unhappy or stressed out. And as such, I would suggest that this program could be of enormous benefit for anyone whether or not you suffer from substance abuse and/or addiction.Thank you Centered for ensuring that I will live a full, connected, and meaningful life 🙂

I am so grateful for finding Centered Recovery. Reed and Colin have opened my eyes to a new way of life. They have helped me discover a side of me I never knew I could be, helped me communicate with others better, and have overall given me peace in life. I never thought I would be happy with myself again whether I was drinking or not drinking until after a few group sessions every bad thought I had about myself was progressively disappearing. I have learned to flip the switch from telling myself all the bad to all the good. My relationships with my friends, family, and significant other have dramatically gotten better. I can not thank the Centered staff enough for everything they have done for me. Thanks to them, I will forever live a healthy and mindful life!! Would 100/10 recommend!!!

My husband struggled through traditional 12 step programs for years. Centered Recovery provided a roadmap and a strategy that really resonated with him. As a result, he is sober and our family has been helped tremendously. I wish we had known about it sooner as we are all so much better off today than we have been in years.

Centered Recovery has literally changed my life. After years of alcohol abuse with some rehab and counselling along with the way, I was still completely lost. I was recommended Centered Recovery and right from the beginning I knew I had found the right place. It's completely different to anything I had ever been exposed to before. Their approach to addiction is phenomenal. I am into my 4th month with them and its become a part of my life. I feel at peace!Thank you to Reed and his amazing team for always being there for me.

It was evident from my first experience with Centered Recovery that they are truly invested in their clients. They have helped me to see my recovery with curiosity and I've learned to approach life with an inside-out perspective rather than being at the mercy from outside influences. I've gained confidence in myself again and learned that the power has always been inside me, I just needed some gentle guidance and mindful reminders to get back on track. I whole heartedly recommend Centered Recovery for anyone that is ready to take a REAL look at their lives and make a lasting change.

Centered, has been a real blessing for our family. My wife entered the program in May of 2018. The staff at Centered helped her to stay focused on the now and helped her release some of the pain of the past. Through a holistic approach Centered expanded the tools for coping with addiction with tools like meditation that are available right now and at any time it is needed. She also deals with chronic pain and Centered has helped to lighten her pain through mindfulness exercises. I would highly recommend Centered to anyone that is seeking direction on making themself whole through time tested techniques. Thank you Centered!!

A unique approach to recovery, Centered offers an awareness and mindfulness based program. By recognizing the nature of the mind, clients are empowered to transform introspection into action, and positively change patterns of perception and behavior.

Where do I even begin... I was hesitant coming into Centered Recovery at first because I have tried just about everything to stay clean and sober. I had just gotten out of a 90 day intensive, residential program and immediately relapsed about a week after getting home. I knew I needed a new approach and I’m so happy I found Centered Recovery. I did group outpatient sessions with Reed, and they have been a game changer. I now look at recovery as everyday living and not so much as a checklist that needs to get done... I don’t feel the obsession to drink anymore and feel like my life is managed by me; not by a 12 step program like I have in the past getting sober. I have been sober for 8 months now, and I cannot recommend Reed and Centered Recovery enough. It has changed my life, and I’m so grateful to be apart of this wonderful program!
