During my time at Roaring Brook, I built friendships, learned more about myself than I ever knew, healed parts of myself I didn’t know were broken, and developed a community of people to surround myself with upon completing the program. The staff here are all dedicated to helping others who struggle with addiction. They all have big hearts and help their clients more than they may ever know.

Roaring Brook is a top notch facility. I started my journey there in late April of 2023 and was very reluctant and hesitant at first. Roaring Brook is very unique in that their highly educated, empathetic and knowledgeable staff has been where you may currently be. Their backgrounds aren’t strictly academic, they bring their own experiences coupled with their education to provide first class help. Their phased plan approach with hands on group and individual sessions guide patients to achieve their own successes. The assignments Roaring Brook has created as a part of their overall program helps patients to realize what their core problems are and how to successfully address them now and for the future. Roaring Brook is truly focused on helping people who suffer from substance issues and I would highly recommend them based on the experience I have had there.

I’ve been to a few rehabs in my life, but none of them compare to Roaring Brook. The staff is genuine and actually cares about your well being. The men in the group develop a bond over time and do their best to help each other succeed in their sobriety. I was unaware that I was on the wrong medication for years until they put me on the right ones. I have a sponsor now and have gotten to know a lot of great people in the AA community because of my 3 meetings a week requirement. Roaring Brook has changed my life and I am forever indebted to everyone who works there.

A true place for recovery. What makes this place a destination for help is it's people. The staff, counselors, and therapists at Roaring Brook all understand recovery from either first hand experience, higher learning and most often both. I have found in my experience that addiction was and is a cycle that could not be broken by myself alone. Roaring Brook provided the grounds for me to understand recovery on terms I could finally accept and showed me practical application in my life. I have benifited greatly from the services provided, but maybe even more so, I see the changes that have affected all that surround me. Truly grateful to not be alone any more.

Wonderful and knowledgeable staff who care for everyone and have a passion for those recovering. I feel very satisfied with the program, and I feel blessed to have made relationships and get to know the staff at Roaring Brook. Amazing program overall!

Roaring Brook has played an instrumental part in my recovery. I look forward to the weekly group sessions. I often have things going on that I can share with other Alcoholics that can relate. It’s a safe environment with staff members I trust, that have my personal well being at their forefront. I always leave learning something, and leave feeling much better than I did walking it. I owe so much to Roaring Brook and the entire staff. I plan on joining the Alumni group once I graduate the program soon.

I cannot speak more highly of the individuals working in Roaring Brook’s program. These folks are genuine in the care and effort they put forth to provide clients with a safe, encouraging, and empowering environment for growth and freedom from addiction/alcoholism. Their program puts an emphasis on addressing mental health with a multitude of therapeutic treatment options, which, in my opinion is unmatched. My experience at Roaring Brook has provided me with mentors that guide with compassion and understanding, fellowship with peers, and a safe place to explore the core of my alcoholism.
Hats off to Roaring Brook’s staff! I am forever grateful for the impact that you have had on my journey with recovery.

I truly adore this program and the staff, and I always will. The therapists and peer support who lead the groups in Intensive-OutPatient are all equally as amazing and all bring something different to the table. I’ve been through this program twice and I’ve recommended it to all of my friends who are trying to get into recovery. This program has so much to offer, has taught me SO much and was TRULY a beautiful gem to stumble across. Special thanks and much love to Alison, Jarrod and Carl.

I can't say enough about this place. The facility and the staff here are second to none. I was at a completely hopeless place personally when I found Roaring Brook. They restored my faith in myself and gave me the tools to recover and start my journey. Every single person here cares about you. I knew that from my very first conversation with the clinical director. I felt that care in every interaction with every staff member. They treat you with respect and dignity. They create a safe space where you can work through the issues you face with their professional guidance. I will be forever grateful to Roaring Brook and it's staff. This place changed my life.

I am currently a client in the intensive outpatient program at Roaring Brook. After a couple of recent hospitalizations an addiction team specialist recommended that I consider an IOP in Lexington and I liked that the regular Roaring Brook program is spread over a longer period of time three days a week for approximately four months. I have been in inpatient treatment in the past, but I have struggled staying clean and sober. The combination of group meetings at Roaring Brook plus AA meetings is helping me…a lot. I can’t believe how many professionals are on my care team. Each week I have direct contact for group plus multiple individual counseling sessions which are helping me in ways other programs I have tried in the past didn’t. I have great gratitude for the Roaring Brook team and would recommend them to anyone looking for help dealing with addiction and substance use issues. I have found peace and serenity here that I can take with me into everyday living and it all helps add up to a joy in living I thought I could never get back…and actually it’s a better more authentic life than I’ve ever had!

Recovery is a unique journey for the individual sufferer, but it can’t be done alone. It takes a village. Roaring Brook is my village. Simply put, I wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for their (sometimes tough) love, their respect, kindness, and the sense of belonging I was shown. I’m forever grateful for each and everyone there!

This place is amazing, truly. The staff is amazing and helped me in so many ways with my recovery. I came in broken and defeated with walls up so high I thought no one would get threw, and they patiently start knocking bricks off and helping me to be a better person. I graduated from their program with a sense of pride and outlook in my life. I’d like to thank jarrod for being such a patient and moving therapist. To Allison for showing so much love and kindness and amazing bear hugs. Last but certainly not least, to Carl, for inspiring me every time and pushing me to meet my goals, for giving me wisdom when I needed it, your compassionate and caring nature, and for a being a friend i can rely on. I can’t thank you enough for all that you guys have done for me.

I am a veteran of some two dozen treatments over the 35 years since my first AA meeting. I truly believed I going to drink myself to death and nearly did. After 6 days in the ICU and a blood alcohol level that should have been fatal I came to Roaring Brook. They believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. I feel rooted and supported in a way I couldn’t imagine. It’s not hyperbole to say Roaring Brook saved my life.
