Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coming from the experience of being stuck in Florida for 8 miserably years, to the holistic haven and atmosphere Avatar presented truly changed my life. I always had an action-oriented work ethic willing to do everything that put me in a position to succeed in treatment, but also upon discharge, and was always set up for failure in Florida. Here at Avatar, I volunteered to help clean at night with the owner's wife, did any outdoor work that needed to be done, cleaned up the basement after renovation, while also working on my Recovery and treatment with my therapists Curtis & Ed.
Everyone saw me come in angry because the immoral place I left at Morelife, whose staff stole 85% of my clothes and 100% of my bathroom products. The owner at Avatar Pinal, did everything in his power to help right Morelife's wrong and contacted people to help replace the stolen stuff. From that moment on, my attitude and willingness to be in treatment medically changed!
That's when I started going to groups and working with my Counselor during our one-on-one sessions. That's when I really started volunteering for anything staff needed help with and humbling myself to ask for help when needed. And for most of my stay I was stuck with a roommate that was not the most hygienic. I was finally moved to a single private room with its own bathroom, and I couldn't have been more grateful at that time! I was here during Christmas and decorated the entire facility myself and put 3 different Christmas trees up. Hence, Christmas is my favorite and in my opinion, the best Holiday!
Avatars accommodations were also very surprising and welcoming. They took us Allen to an activity every week, and sometimes two. They had a barber that came in every 2 weeks, so a haircut could at least help us feel better about ourselves for a short while. The food was extremely delicious when factoring in that I was in her rehab facility. Nonetheless, it was absolutely restaurant quality! Every staff member Fair whether it was BHT's, nurses & Doctors, counselors, or people in admissions... it seemed everyone enjoyed their job and coming into work to help the next suffering addict and alcoholic get better in their life. This was absolutely a fantastic experience I didn't have in my many years being stuck going from rehab to rehab.
What really changed my life was that Avatar set me up with a tremendously opportunistic discharge plan where I lived and managed a halfway house while attending iop. So I gained additional clean time, and continued the work I started in rehab. Not all the people that were in the house with me were able to stay clean & sober, but thankfully I was. I started working and still have the same job years later. I'm very thankful to everyone at Avatar that played a role in my treatment no matter how big or small, you made a significant difference in my life for the better! I'm writing this review years later to hopefully show the newcomer that staying clean and sober for a lengthy period of time is possible for you! Surround yourself around positively influential people that are like-minded and goal oriented. Having a sponsor, home group, and people that understand your struggles will only benefit you in the end and help keep you accountable daily!
I absolutely would recommend Avatar to anyone looking to change their life, but also a place that treats you like an actual human being and not an insurance policy number!
Below are pictures of some of the therapeutic rooms at Avatar where group is done, meditation, trauma group, the cafeteria and all the stocked food and beverages, an open seated TV area, and the new gym. I hope you enjoy the pictures and they give you a glimpse of what to expect and Avatar!
