My husband went to Andy’s House in September of 2020 and for me, it was the moment I had always hoped for. We had lived in chaos for so, so many years and finally, finally we were reaching out for help. Our relationship was hanging by a thread and we were both physically and mentally exhausted. I guess you can say, we had both reached rock bottom…
- Nelie’s story , 3 Years Sober -
Andy’s House changed my life. When I walked through those welcoming doors on September 14 of 2020, I had no idea how my life would change; for the better! I was anxious and felt defeated and broken but the staff at Andy’s House helped me heal and recover one day at a time…
- Bento's story -
My name is David and I am an alcoholic. The date of my last drink was October 6, 2011. I’m writing this to tell you a little bit about life before my alcoholism, where my alcoholism took me and how Andy’s House changed my life…
- David's story -
Although my stage experiences are extremely important to my growth as a social worker, my personal life challenges are equally important to my professional development. I understand that personal life experiences often shape individuals’ beliefs, morals, and approaches to life…
- Sean's story -
It’s been a year since our son’s life completely imploded. If the staff at Andy’s House hadn’t worked with us to get him into treatment, he would either have been arrested or died.
Andy’s House arranged for an intervention, but unlike television, it did not immediately succeed. He refused treatment. Notwithstanding this, Andy’s House continued to offer us support and guidance. Together, we got him to enter the program…
- C's story -
As the addiction progressed, it became harder for him to hide. He had become a master of deception, and although I had my suspicions, I didn’t have any proof. In retrospect, it was clear as day. I eventually lost all interest in living that way with him, always worrying if he would return and managing his life without him. So, I told him he better find help or I would be gone…
- Partner of an addict -
Drugs and alcohol have been a problem in my life since I was young. When I used, all my insecurities and fears disappeared. I felt invincible. It wasn’t long before everything began to fall apart. I dropped out of school, lost all interest in the hobbies I was once very passionate about, and was kicked out of home. There began my troubles with the law…
- Rick's story -
My experience with the staff at Andy’s House was very helpful and healing. I learned a lot about my character during my three month stay. The counselors taught me how to cope with getting sober and remaining sober. There were some amazing group activities like art therapy, yoga and going to the gym. I had daily discussions with my counselor to help me find solutions for staying on a sober path…
- Danny's story -
This place is truly amazing. This was my second time in treatment, and the services and care of Andy’s House were incomparable to the first time around. Their humanistic approach made me feel like family rather than a statistic. The unique approach used at the facility helped me address more than my substance issues…
- Jessica's story -
Andy’s House saved my young daughter’s life. From Intervention to Aftercare, her recovery program changed her life and ours when we thought there was no hope. She is passionate about her sobriety, successful at work, has made new friends, and gained life skills that will help in all facets of her life. For the first time in a long, long time, she is finally happy…

There are no words to express the respect, gratitude and love I have for all the staff. They are knowledgeable and patient. They taught me how to cope with issues in a realistic way. I continue aftercare for 2 years and I'm in contact for however long I want to.
The staff and, old and new residents are truly a big family. My family is also able to call the house if needed. The 90 days I spent there were by far the best decision I ever I made. I desperately wanted a disciplined program with knowledgeable staff, and I got much more.
Waking up is wonderful now, I thank Andy's house for this life changing experience everyday!! My family does also!!
Andy’s House gave me the tools, strength, and confidence I needed to rebuild my life. I will forever be grateful for the time I spent there. One of the best things about this treatment center is their incredible aftercare program. Recovery doesn’t stop the day you leave, and they truly understand that. The ongoing support, check-ins, and resources have kept me accountable and motivated long after treatment. Knowing I wasn’t left on my own made all the difference.
He was definitely at rock bottom . And I felt at the time that there was zero hope of him getting better or of our 29 yrs marriage being saved . It felt so traumatizing and honestly so scary and hopeless. I remember the first call to Andy’s house - it was me calling to get info with my husband right beside me . We had called several places and heard all about their great food and their horseback lessons and their spa services between group meetings .
None of that was interesting or useful or needed
He needed help . And so did I and our kids … quickly
It felt like that first call when Andrea answered the phone … was like an angel .. truly
Between the few days of intake and admission Mike was available to us constantly and remained that way throughout the program . I personally needed this and I will be forever grateful for him answering my dozens of questions and concerns
The program is not for the faint of heart . It is not easy or fun or relaxing . It’s for people who want and need to get better ! And their approach in my opinion is unparalleled
It is simple outstanding . And effective
Everyone is treated with respect and dignity but it’s a direct aapproach and when dealing with people who struggle with addiction this is what they need in my experience
They need to be proactive themselves and not enabled and Glenn and the team make sure this happens !!!
As a family we also got support and vairanja is there to help us through our own issues and traumas
Our three young adult children came for the first couple of meetings and I was so happy they had a place to land in their grief
I continue today 5 months post Andy house to attend the family support group weekly . I feel taken care of too . The team knows us all - the kids included and they are an anchor we can reach out to for life
Knowing Glenn is always there for my husband means everything to me . He is an incredible professional who will ensure if your person is ready for help .. they get it . He will call them ( and you ! ) out of everything. He even told our three young adult kids they could reach out to him anytime and that is such a precious gift as it’s hard on families . Very very hard
My husband is active in his solid recovery and also in the extensive aftercare program. If he completes the 2 yrs he will have lifetime access to Andy’s House . You don’t find this anywhere trust me . This is gold .
My husband is doing well so far . Very well . I hope he stays that way for himself and our family too . That being said recovery is a choice you make one day at a time and you have to keep choosing it . He has been taught every single tool in the book and has every support system available to him including a very strong sponsor and supportive fellowship which he has learned to nuture on a constant basis .
I have also been taught my own boundaries in my support group and very clear what I can accept and what I wil not . The program ensures that family members are aligned
I know if he would ever struggle - Andy’s house will be there for him and I completely and this is such a blessing
I hope each day he chooses this amazing place and caring team with massive expertise and professionalism for the rest of his life
If you or a loved one has an addiction problem .. RUN ..don’t walk to Andy’s house
Feel free to ask the team for my coordinates (if ever they feel appropriate) if you want more info from my perspective as a spouse . It’s a way for me to pay forward the great support and help from so many around who have shown me the same kindness when I needed it most
Thank you for helping us to save ourselves Andy’s house !
Gratefully

//Like Night and Day in comparison//
I was welcomed with a warm, family style environment with incredible, caring staff members. Comfortable beds, proper meal plans and terrific ambiance. Full gym, amazing outdoor space with a pool.
This isn't just a place to "dry out". The program helped me work through traumas under the surface, rebuilding me, now with a reason to live again.
The family support is a big part of the program, as well as their 2 year aftercare programs which keeps you accountable and a part of the house & fellowship; something special for anyone broken and feeling hopeless.
Now, almost 5 months sober, I enjoy going back frequently to visit staff, join in on groups and speak to fellow residents and newcomers.
A priceless experience regaining self worth, enjoying laughs, shedding tears, human growth and sober living.
You guys rock!! \m/
Everything I have learned and gained in the house is incredible information and tools that I can carry with me for the rest of my life. Even after completing my stay in the house, I still continue to work with them and get to learn and grow everyday with support from all the staff. I also get to be on this path with my fellow residents as well who are also in the aftercare alongside me.
Along with everything I learned, I was also shown so much love, care, and support from every single staff member in the house. I am eternally grateful and have so much love for everyone there. They are truly amazing at what they do and they taught me exactly what I needed.
Everything about my stay in the house was wonderful. They make sure you are on a productive schedule for your recovery. With many groups and meetings - which is what really helped me understand so much about myself and also to learn the program. Which all helps me continue to stay sober today. Included in the schedule is also yoga, which is taught by an amazing instructor, I’m really happy I got to see how much I like yoga because I probably wouldn’t have ever done it had I not gone here! They also have art therapy with I also loved very much. It was super fun getting to express myself and also very eye opening at times. They also have a really great psychotherapist who helped me work through a lot of stuff. Also, the food was great, the menu is healthy but also really delicious! I was never dissatisfied with a meal.
In all, I can say Andy’s house saved my life. I came in not knowing anything about how to recover what so ever. I thought I was coming in just to stop drinking. What I gained was much, much more. I was taught how to live sober, how to do the inner work. I got my true self back. I also gained so much knowledge on what I need to do to continue on the right path. 10/10 🫶
I am deeply grateful to Mike, Joanne, Glen, Varainja, Andrea, Amy, Alexis, Brian, and Laird. Each of them played a unique role in my recovery.
Andy's House helped me get sober—but, more importantly, it taught me how to stay sober. I learned the essential foundations of recovery and how to fully engage with the AA program.
Before this, I had been to three rehabs—and I always relapsed. This place is different. It’s not just a rehab. It’s a complete, intensive, personal therapeutic journey.
Yes, it’s a gift—but it’s also an emotional roller coaster. It requires a deep dive into yourself. It hurts. It’s painful. But it opens your eyes.
There are group sessions, but also many one-on-one meetings with your caseworker to go through your assignments. All the staff and caseworkers are available, supportive, and truly invested in your growth.
The program includes yoga, gym sessions, art therapy, and access to an incredible therapist. Everything you do in the House has a therapeutic purpose.
This place taught me how to live a new life, how to change old patterns, how to love myself, how to become a better version of me and gratitude.
Most importantly, Andy's House helped me to finally surrender—and trust the process.
It introduced me to a fellowship and a Sponsor, which are absolutely priceless.
90 days might feel endless, but they’re not. The program is intense and exhausting.
There’s no sleeping in, and yes—the beds are comfy!
Only one cup of coffee in the morning. No sweets. No soft drinks. No music. No phone. Living 24/7 with other addicts isn’t always easy. There are lots of rules.
But this House works—if you work what the House is showing you.
