Yellowstone Recovery

I could go on about the bad things about this place, but I just want my personal belongings back. But no, the people here continually ignore me and my mom.

In May of 2010, I got off the plane at John Wayne airport from AZ completely broken and unable to keep drugs and alcohol out of my system by myself. I entered Yellowstone seeking help, desperately wanting to stay sober and live a purposeful life. Yellowstone intervened on my alcoholism, gave me structure and discipline and supported my recovery as well as my family’s. The staff cares about the sobriety of their clients more than most programs out there, and the aftercare and continued support are second to none. The fellowship, the family atmosphere and the passion for sobriety are what set Yellowstone apart from the rest. Today I have a happy sober marriage with my wife whom I married in sobriety (both of us are sober and clean), an amazing 2 and half year old daughter who has never seen me take a drink or drug, a home and 2 cars in the garage. Most importantly, I have peace of mind and a life on the inside. I have come a long way since May of 2010, and the credit goes to my higher power, and to Yellowstone for showing me how to live life sober!

One of the cheapest and hardest drinking bars is located within a few houses of this place. It opens at 6am.

I walked into Yellowstone in October of 2004. I was absolutely hopeless and broken, my addiction was killing me. From the moment I walked through the doors of yellowstone I was surrounded by people that wanted to see me live and were there ²⁴⁄₇ to help me in ways I didn’t even know I needed. I spent 16 months here and was given a safe and supportive place to recover. I have been sober over 10 years now. I am a a daughter, sister, friend and Mother. The people I love don’t have to worry about getting a call that I am dead or in jail. I have been a drug and alcohol counselor for 9 years and am grateful to be able to help others the way yellowstone helped me. Yellowstone will always be «home» to me, no matter how many years go by. I am forever grateful.

PLEASE don’t send a loved one to this place…

I’ve been to numerous treatment centers and Yellowstone is the only one that makes me feel at home, the other facilities were cool but it seemed like they were just running a business to an extent where as Yellowstone is like a big family and they genuinely care about me and my recovery, I’ve had my bumps in the road while I was here and they still stuck by me, they were also hard on me which shows how much they care, now I’m 9 months clean and in Yellowstone sober living and I’ve made changes in me and in my lifestyle that would have never been possible without this place, words can’t describe how grateful I am for Yellowstone and the relationships I have found here. I just want to say thank you for giving me a chance to create the life that I have today.

I went through Yellowstone and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. By no means was it the easiest, but it saved my life. There I was given a safe place to get clean and sober and start life moving in a positive direction. I was given rules and structure that I desperately needed and tools I didn’t know I needed. It helped me address my addiction and always gave me a place to come ‘home’ to. Since my stay there I have become a college graduate, wife and mother. I have been able to stay sober through very difficult times and that is all due to the foundation I was able to build with Yellowstone’s help. I owe a great debt to Yellowstone and Honey. Without them I truly don’t know if I would be alive today. I have been sober since then and that was in 2004.

I entered Yellowstone in 2013. It was my 13 time in treatment and I lost hope after going in and out for years but i thought id give it one more try. Yellowstone was different from all the other treatment centers i went to previously. Not only did yellowstone save my life but the women who came back daily and carried me a message of depth and weight (the truth) A messaged ive never heard before. It was something i needed. I was never able to put 90 days together before entering. I stayed at yellowstone for a year and 4 months and it was one of the best things I ever did Yellowstone did not only help me stay sober but also taught me how to live life which I’ve never done before and I will be forever grateful to yellowstone and all the women helped me along the way and all the staff there.

I entered Yellowstone recovery in November of 2012 and have been sober ever since. Every recovery center will have people who don’t make it, thus explaining the upset reviews you’re seeing here. Yellowstone is strict, there’s no doubt about that, but they’re strict for a reason. Most addicts have lived their lives doing whatever they want, whenever they want, and Yellowstone provides structure to guide its residents onto a path that will help them live a normal life, getting up in the morning, doing what you need to do, following directions, and being a productive member of society. I honestly believe that if it weren’t for Yellowstone, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve a fraction of the things I have in the last 2 and a half years. If you’re honestly ready to work for your sobriety, and obtain a life that has meaning, then this is the place for you.

yellowstone is a wonderfully structured place to get sober, especially if you’ve been through so many treatment centers and your insurance cuts you off and you are helpless and broke with nowhere to go. the staff and residents are so courteous and everyone especially honey made me feel at home the moment i walked in. yellowstone helped me to obtain employment after detox and get me back on my feet. they kept me interested in recovery and involved with the 12 steps and always made sure my needs were met. this was my tenth time going through treatment and i currently have a year and three months sober, longer than i ever imagined possible. better yet, they allow me to come back anytime and talk to girls who are struggling. needless to say, yellowstone has saved my life and meeting honey was nothing short of a blessing.

I loved yellowstone in the beginning. I was happy to be sober. After awhile i saw what a money hungry place this was. I earned my way to working in the office… and on the board i saw different prices for everyone’s stay. They put you on «house silence» for no reason. The employees tend to sleep with the clients. They never give you any answers. and the employees treat you like shit. I went there 90 days… and i broke down when i got home. They treat you like crap and it did not help me stay sober. stay away from honey. stay away from money hungry yellowstone.

My husband found this place after the sober living he was in closed without warning. They took him in right away and even though he has 5 months clean are trying to put him back in rehab. I’m sure this is so they can get the insurance money. They took his cell phone the moment he moved in and will not allow him to talk to anyone. I was told his counselor would be calling me but I have to hear from anyone. After leaving numerous messages today I finally got a call from Honey the director. She was very rude. She said that my husband was not there and could not be reached on the weekend. Even after telling her that there is a family emergency and I have a flight booked for him to come home she had no empathy or sympathy and hung the phone up on me. I called back several times before she answered and when she did she put him on the phone. He proceeded to ask for money so he could eat!!! Wtf. I gave him the flight info and he said he would talk to her and call back but he never did. I will be contacting the bbb and my insurance co. This is ridiculous.

If you like drama and to be treated less then human call honey I was there for over 7 months. My mom got sick and is now on life support. She wanted me to watch her client’s for her. I could not make it, so she decided to roll my things up and kick me out. This is all the same day my mother is taken into ICU and the day I paid rent for the month. No sympathy and no way she will refund this months rent. Honey is an ego maniac who keeps those in favour if they kiss ass. It about money not about helping people.

This place is the real deal. There are so many rehabs that are in the business for the bottom line. Yellowstone saved my friend’s life. I never thought I would see him sober again. He had been to several other rehabs unsuccessfully. They offer rehab, transitional living and sober living. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to get sober

My diabetic daughter was admitted there and they denied her insulin and testing of her blood sugar for two days until she was able to find a way out of there. She was in diabetic ketoacidosis which is a deadly condition by the time she got out of there. Complete medical negligence they were told about her condition and denied her anyway. If you have any sort of medical condition do not step foot in that place. I had to give Yellowstone 1 star to be able to post this to keep consumers informed but truly they are at sublevel and don’t deserve any. Oh and you might want to check them out on the Better Business Bureau they got a D -.

This place saved my life in 2007. I can’t recommend it enough. If you really want help for your addictions you will find it here. I did.

I went threw Yellowstone and now have close to 2 years clean and sober. It took me many many other rehabs to finally get to this point and Yellowstone was my last stop on the rehab train. Every rehab has problems, its a place full of people that are sick. No matter where you go people will be kicked out, there will be rumors and drama. But what I found made Yellowstone speical and effective for me was the back to basics method. One addict helping another. NO where else do they have recoverd men and women come back daily who have gone threw the center on a regular basis to show how they have recovered and how to live. I belive that people have
the idea that the treatment center its self is what saves the person. That is not in the slightest bit true. The addict themselves need to be ready to accept help and if they are ready then Yellowstone is a wonderful place to be. I know many many people who have recoverd as a result of what they experinced going threw there and from personal experince (and mind you it wasnt always perfect) that if I had to suggest a treament center for anyone this would be the place. And last on the $ scale, treatment is not cheap. I have spent 20,000 on a 30 day center then got drunk the day I left. For the resutls and the life you can build the price is very realistic, but again it is a hit or miss wherever you go. God bless and good luck!

I went through Yellowstone in December of last year and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. The program is very structured, and for good reason. As addicts and alcoholics, a structured schedule is very necessary to regain a normal lifestyle as a newly sober person. The staff and residents at Yellowstone actually care about one another and it really is like a second family. I stayed for around 6 months and I’m still in contact with a large number of the people I met there because we became so close. This really is an amazing place to get clean and sober and learn how to live life on life’s terms through the program of Alcoholics Anonymous (even if youre a drug addict, like me.) This really is a great place.
