Let’s make this clear!!!! I am a mother of a former resident! This place is horrible! They don’t have the right programs in place to help the recovering residents!! It’s about the money! So many residents relapse because they don’t have the proper programs. The building is not clean. The food is nasty!!! See I’m going to tell the truth. The right program helps the residents!! The right program builds them up! Showing you care helps them! Don’t belittle them! Could Affordable be a good place? Yes, with the right staff in place. Change is needed! That recovery home is needed! So make the changes so it can stay around.

Sure. They give you a place to stay and three meals and even a job. However, even if you are just homeless you are "forced" to go to the drug and alcohol meetings. You are forced to pay $285 a week. You have chores which are mandatory. You also restricted on transportation. If you get mail it is not private and you have to open all mail and parcel in front of them, granted this is for the contraband. Could this place be ran better, absolutely. Will they run it better? Absolutely not.

I have a problem with the negative reviews of Affordable Recovery. I know both of the owners they have struggled in the past also and are trying to give people help and to have a better life. In my opinion some of the people on here sound ungrateful and don't want to put in the work to have a better life or to get clean and sober. Complaining about how much you are charged , do you have a roof over your head ? Are you fed ? Are you working ? Stop spreading lies about people that are there to help YOU ! Appreciate it people stop your whining.

I have been to this place, and they will work the shot out of u. They say we want u to save your money, but they charge so much, and the owners are still drinking, and gambling. This place is a place to go as a last resort, and u have no where else to go.
