REVIEWS

Alum A.R. gave low one-star ratings for the facility’s exercise and leisure options, holistic offerings, and counseling options. While she did find the faith-based approach helpful, the alum felt that “the food, the staff, the groups” and the poor incorporation of 12-step principles hampered the facility’s effectiveness. When asked if she would recommend the facility, A.R. gave a poor two out of five stars, indicating that she would not recommend Jefferson Reaves House.

  • This treatment center is just what I needed. It may not have all the fancy acupuncture or gourmet meals that other places do, but it was exactly what I needed. The staff here showed me nothing but love and were stern with me. From the techs to the nurse and another staff member in particular, I owe them for the rest of my days for letting me into their program and showing me the straight and narrow. Thank you Reaves House, and Koinonia Worship Center who brought me to my faith. I'm going on 3 years sober because a built a strong foundation here.
