Burkwood Treatment Center

“If you are looking to be the best version of yourself, you have found it!!! Burkwood is a Tony Robins style boot camp. This centered based program is a master class on recovery, in my opinion, it's the one place you can really start over and begin the change so desperately needed for the road to recovery!!! The staff at Burkwood is second to none. The RA's and nurse's understand you and are amazing people!!! The cooks created fantastic food (Michelin Star grade) three squares and dessert!!! Also snacks on deck😉 The counselors are fantastic and each has a unique experience which gives better perspective on your journey! You can really emerse yourself in the program if you keep an open mind, don't get in your own way, and mind your bobber. With the community, you will feel like family, not only with the clients but the staff as well! People really care here and you will feel it! The comrodary you may not have known you needed is here and helps you become healthy, not only for yourself but in relationships and life over all. The best version of yourself is waiting to be realized!! Everyone I know has congratulated my achievements since graduating this program. I have no regrets and a much clearer pathway to my goals in recovery. After here, life really begins!”

“This place is fantastic. It is not like other places that coddle you and flirt with the idea of sobriety. This team asks the hard questions and focuses on what it means to “live sober”. Come with an open mind and a soft heart and give yourself the permission to leave the weight of the past behind.”

“Thank you to Burkwood Staff(from Admin to medical, housekeeping/maintenance, kitchen, aides, and of course the counselors). Team Cheryl!!! Residential was crucial for me to start my Recovery journey and IOP (shout out to Jaime and Cheryl)has been instrumental in reaching 90 days sober! Burkwood not only answered my call to “get sober” with compassion but also has guided me to start healing my mental health (Kelli). I could not recommend more highly!!!”

“I arrived at Burkwood with little beyond a few days sober, years of resentment, fears and enough anger to fuel a Virginia Class Submarine. Those defects of my character were then amplified by the very bright confines that is a part of life there. My first three weeks I somehow managed to avoid conflict and create the illusion that I was addressing the issues that brought me. Miss Kelly abruptly interrupted that. I was hoping for a spiritual awakening and ended getting a rude awakening by her firm, fair and factual assessment of me, my ineffective coping skills and my behavior. Our initial meeting was turbulent, intense and invoked the same old mentality in me that has crippled me for decade. I wanted to run. As I was planning to do just that I was prodded by a woman sitting next to me to consider that this “running” is what I always do. Perhaps actually working through it is a better plan of attack. That was the moment that change took root on fertile soil inside me. Miss Cheryl lovingly put the cookies on a shelf that I was able to reach them, digest them and allow them to work in and through me. Cheryl taught me, and others, that thoughts and emotions are not a call to action. Simple yet mysteriously evasive prior to being blessed enough to be her pupil. Cheryl and Kelly are irreplaceable as counselors as well as human beings. They not only sewed solids seeds of recovery in me but they gave two boys their father back. I am beyond grateful’”
