Testimonials
Real Words from Real Alumni
We can talk all day about our programs and how convinced we are that they’ll change your life, but nothing compares with hearing directly from those who have benefited from them. That’s why we’ve asked alumni of our programs to share their treatment experiences and how their recovery continues to impact their lives.
During this year’s National Recovery Month, I’ve have had the chance to reflect on how grateful I am for the time I spent at The Meadows three years ago and how their expert therapists saved my life, as they guided me towards recovery from overuse of benzoids, marijuana, and alcohol. I learned the importance of affirmation cards, journaling and meditation, tools that have been instrumental in changing my life. The Meadows also taught me acceptance, especially of life’s many imperfections. My participation in the Meadows Alumni Association, along with the support of new alumni friends who have helped me on this journey of recovery, has made my life so much better. I will be forever indebted to the many wonderful professionals at both Wickenburg and the IOP in Scottsdale.

The very first moment I stepped onto the property, I knew something was different. I told myself this was the last chance. I was done. I was challenged to do something every day that made me uncomfortable because seeking comfort and escape was what brought me here. I trusted the people and the process, and embraced the pain that was being set free. The peace in that desert, and the dedication by the staff to help me regain my life. I truly found that trudging that road to happy destiny, together is available at The Meadows. I just needed to believe in myself to try.

My time at The Meadows was the best thing I have done for myself and those who love me … I have never had a sip of alcohol since! Today is my 11th sobriety birthday! I am so thankful for that little town in Arizona's desert and the competent and caring staff members who helped give my wounded inner child a voice. I am deeply grateful.
