i cannot begin to describe how thankful i am to Touchshone and how it saved my life and restored my relationship not only with my family but the way i feel about myself. I love the staff and many of them have become a huge part of my recovery even 7 months after. I am so grateful I took all the suggestions that were offered/ shared with me and continued to stay in sober living to keep myself accountable. I will forever be grateful to Touchstone and everyone I’ve met along the way. I love this place so much, feels like a second home❤️

I cannot express enough gratitude to Touchstone Recovery Center and its staff. I have struggled with addiction for almost 20 years and thanks to TRC I’m now sober and living a life unimaginably better than before. Here I was educated on what addiction is, where it stems from, and how to recover from it. If you or a loved one are struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, and are seeking help, I highly recommend Touchstone Recovery Center

Touchstone Recovery Center truly made a difference in my life. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, supported, and understood—not judged. The staff goes above and beyond to genuinely care about each person’s recovery journey. They don’t just treat addiction; they help you rebuild your mindset, your confidence, and your life. The program is structured but also flexible enough to meet you where you are. The counselors are knowledgeable, compassionate, and real—they’ve helped me see things about myself I never recognized before. The group sessions created a sense of community that made me realize I’m not alone in this. What stood out most to me was how much they focus on long-term recovery, not just short-term sobriety. They give you tools you can actually use in everyday life. I’m grateful for my time at Touchstone and would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about changing their life. It gave me hope when I needed it most.
