Key Recovery & Life Skills Center

I came to Key Recovery with my 5 year old on October 16th 2020. This program saved my life. I was using meth heavily for 15 years prior. I have been here for 9 months. I completed both phases of the program April 30th and now I am the family service live-in. I've learned so much about myself. Confronting my behaviors and setting healthy boundaries with myself and with others. I now have integrity when before I had none. I gained a good work ethic through the job training program. I have also regained a relationship with my family that I had lost due to my addiction. If you want recovery and live a healthy life the first step is here

I have mixed feelings with this place. I have state insurance so this place was free so you can’t ask for much if it’s free. I have only been through their detox phase, 5 times.. and only made it through the full 5 days once. The medication they give you to help get through the withdrawals barely helps. They give you what you could buy at your local drug store... I didn’t sleep the entire 5 days nor did I eat. The food is terrible and already having a very poor appetite there was no way I was eating that trash. I was throwing up the entire time I was there and the meds didn’t help at all. I couldn’t keep anything down including water. In my opinion after 5 days of not eating or drinking and maybe an hour or two of sleep I should have been admitted to a hospital but they acted like This was normal. When I had been awake for over 72 hours they refused to give me sleep aids saying that I had missed the time cut off. It was either to late or early In the day to give me sleep aids, so I just didn’t sleep. This place isn’t the best, but it’s free. Just my two cents.

Clean place, decent food, and Ben the counselor is the man. He really wants to help and is passionate about it. Nursing staff and the cleaners are super nice. Not an easy job but they are great at taking the worst of you and making you feel better. All of them just want you to succeed. If (and I hope no one ever has to go through it) you need detox this is the place. Never once was pressured to go to their long term program just straight forward - you need inpatient where should we go?

I finally got my addiction under control because of this place. Took me a second time through their detox program, but that second time was my last time! People need to realize that this is a state run facility and they’re doing the best they can to give us a chance at the quality of life we deserve. They aren’t without shortcomings but it’s a place to go and get taken care of while you detox and kick the Physical addiction. Thank you to the staff and mainly the counselor that was always supportive and never looked down her nose at me! It’s a hard and rough road, but worth it in the long run!
