Our son had been through 2 rehabilitation programs and 15 very long years of addiction, resulting in homelessness, desperation, estrangement from family members and much, much more when we found Charleston Recovery Center. Their staff members drove across two states to pick him up when we had no place else to turn.

Two months after he arrived at Ashley Hope, I visited with him over several days and seeing him was nothing short of witnessing a miracle. For the first time in 15 years, I felt like I was seeing my son again. I attended an evening meeting conducted by Ronnie Byers during my visit and got a glimpse of their highly successful and structured recovery program. Their care, compassion and community spirit is unlike anything I have ever seen.

Charleston Recovery Center gave my son back to me. They have saved his life and showed him another way to live. He is now 7 months sober and is becoming the person he was always meant to be. I am eternally thankful to Ronnie and his team for the miraculous blessings they havegiven to my son and to our family.

 

 

 

Addiction plagued my life for almost two decades before I set foot at Ashley Hope Recovery Community.  Lengthy stays in detoxification units of mental hospitals accompanied by repetitive thoughts of suicide had become normal aspects of my life.  I could not quit using alcohol and drugs on my own power, and the instructions I received at various addiction treatment centers did little to help either.  I was engulfed by despair. 

 

The program of action practiced at Ashley Hope was a strong departure from any type of recovery I had experienced in the past.  At first I was skeptical that a spiritual-based experience could restore me to sanity, however, in only a few short days I had a glimpse of a better life and decided to place all my faith and effort into the program.  The results have been nothing short of miraculous.  I have not only completely recovered from addiction, but relationships I thought were beyond repair have been restored and my outlook on life cannot be characterized as anything but ecstatic!  The recovery program at Ashley Hope has truly done for me what I could not do myself.

We found Ronnie Byers and The Charleston Recovery Center to be the answer to our prayers. As a parent we were at our wits end on how to help our son. My son had some psychological issues from a traumatic brain injury received in an automobile accident. He became involved with the wrong group of peers and addicted to drugs and alcohol. After numerous attempts to change things around we found Ronnie and his program. Unlike other facilities that we tried Ronnie has a 12 step, no drug, faith driven program that really works. It was tough at first but the “ love” and commitment to the program pays off large. If you are tired of those sleepless nights worrying and the costly legal nightmares we highly recommend Ronnie and The Charleston Recovery Center. THERE IS HOPE AT ASHLEY HOPE!

Living at Ashley Hope has changed me . The new freedom I have found through this program results from helping others to recover from the same problems I faced in the past.  The countless miracles working at Ashley Hope are undeniably changing lives! I would like nothing more than to see anyone suffering from alcoholism and addiction experience for themselves this life changing program!

Having been a resident of Ashley Hope Recovery Home for the past ninety days, I have been thoroughly impressed with everything the program has both offered and delivered.  The recovery provided is second to none.  Others, including myself, have been through other recovery programs but none have had such an impact on addicts’ hopeless condition as this one.  “Back to the Basics” is the approach – the same as practiced by Alcoholics Anonymous groups in earlier years when they enjoyed an incredibly high success rate.  Without a doubt, there is no way I could have recovered from addiction if not for my experience at Ashley Hope.  The program has restored my peace of mind and instilled a serenity in my life that was unknown the past.  Those of us who have given ourselves completely to this program have recovered from alcoholism and addiction.

My name is Robert Todd Schlick, and I am proud to say that I am an addict who is recovering at Ashley Hope Recovery Center under the care and direction of Ronnie Byers. This program has shown me how to stop using drugs and given me a set of spiritual tools to maintain a sober way of life from this moment forward. The program has also showed me how to enjoy myself without alcohol or drugs. I believe this to be the keystone to my recovery. I have learned that in order to help myself, I must help others constantly.

I can honestly say that without the Ashley Hope House I don’t know where my life would be.  I am so thankful for Ronnie Byers and everyone I’ve met during my time there.  Prior to entering Ashley Hope, I went through two inpatient addiction treatments that came nowhere close to the experience I’ve had at the house.  I’m definitely experiencing the complete psychic change needed for recovery and personal growth.  For the first time in years I don’t feel that a piece of my life is missing.  I look forward to everyday because I can finally say I’m truly happy.  Ashley Hope and my family there will be a part of my life forever.

If you’re reading this, someone you know is in need of help! It may be a family member, friend or even yourself. My name is Scott. I have been a alcoholic for the last 36 years and have tried to stop many, many times by self-will, going to church, or just thinking I could control it this time but to no avail. Now there is hope where there was none, happiness where there was despair. Make no mistake, this really is life or death, and I choose to live. This is a serious recovery community! The director and staff really care about your sobriety. This is what I had been needing in my life for so many years. With the tools and knowledge they have given me. I look forward to a useful and meaningful future.
