Review content:
My family and friends had somewhat of an intervention for me. I didn’t want to go to treatment, though deep down inside I knew that my drinking had taken over my life and had been for the past 3 years. At the time I was a 36 year old female and on paper, highly accomplished in my career. However, I was at a point where I felt completely lost. I had moved to a new city, lost a long term relationship, accumulated debt, and on top of that, had an overwhelming sense of shame and guilt that I wasn’t exactly where I wanted to be in life. With all of this, drinking became my only escape and it became my life, and there didn’t seem to be any hope for me. I was literally hopeless.\r

When my family suggested Klean I was very adamant about not being an alcoholic. I did not want to go to some treatment center that just pumped Alcoholic Anonymous into my brain, I wanted therapy. I truly believed that I had a lot of issues, both psychologically and behaviorally, that needed to be tended to. I knew I was a strong, talented, driven person…I just hadn’t seen that person in a long time and I wanted to know why I was the way I was. Klean seemed like a perfect option for me because of its Dual Diagnosis program. And it turned out to be everything I hoped it would be.\r

I stayed at Klean for 30 days. I went in a broken mess, I came out with a renewed sense of myself. I believe this program has everything necessary for recovery, however, one has to do the work in order to get there. It is obvious, since you basically are around fellow “clients” day in and day out, who is doing the work and who isn’t. I can’t stress this enough. You either want it or you don’t. We used to say, “You can’t bullsh** a bullshi**er”. I became very close to others in treatment and having those friendships became part of my recovery, having people with balls enough to call me out on my sh**. The therapy, both group and one-on-one, is top notch. I thought I would hate the group therapy, didn’t think it would actually be beneficial, but it actually turned out to be just as helpful to me as individual therapy if not more so. The therapists are AMAZING at what they do. They are highly knowledgeable within their field and really push everyone to dig deep. Each therapist has a different approach in getting to the nitty gritty, so there is always going to be a path that you identify with.\r

I will leave it at this. I loved this place. I would recommend it to anyone. It is what you make of it. I made it a place of renewal and awakening, and that’s exactly what I got out of it. I know some of the friends I made that were clients had been to multiple rehab facilities before ending up at Klean. They said that Klean was the best one they had ever been to. From the stories I’ve heard, I count my lucky stars that Klean was the treatment center my brother found for me. \r

I hope this helps at least one person out there. I am so thankful for my life now. I am still on the journey I started at Klean, and it’s so much better than I ever imagined it to be. I’m not a new “me”, I’m the “me” I always knew was in there.
