It feels almost impossible to express my gratitude and love for Eden Hill--the program, the staff and the house. I went to Eden Hill convinced I would leave after 30 days, but within a week I knew I was going to stay longer and ended up living there 5 months. Before arriving at Eden Hill I had spent the last decade of my life in a hopeless and unmanageable state. I was debilitatingly depressed, unemployable, and incapable of functioning even on a basic level. When I was doing my intake, the director, looked at me and told me I was going to be okay. And I believed her. I arrived there in January of 2016, and this coming January I will be celebrating three years of sobriety. At Eden Hill I learned that I was worthy of recovery, and that my past does not need to define me. I learned that I could have fun in sobriety and form the meaningful relationships with women that I had always craved. In making my bed everyday, I got to begin each day with an accomplishment, which I would build on throughout the day in the groups. I have never felt more safe and loved anywhere in the world. It changed my life, and helped me become the version of myself I always wanted to be. Eden Hill will always be a home to me. I know that any time I need, I can simply show up at the door there will be someone to welcome me in lovingly and tell me that I'm going to be okay, just like my very first day there.
The group meetings were excellent at helping the patients deal with our emotions. I am very thankful that I went to Mountainside. So many different cases of drugs and alcohol addiction get treated here; and yet no one is bunched together as just an addict. Everyone is a person and the counselors make sure to help each one according to their needs.

While there are many peer support group meetings, the most popular include Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA).7 Both follow the philosophy and practice the 12-Step guidelines based on spiritual principles and the assumption that addiction is a disease, not a choice.7 Anyone can join AA or NA meetings in their local communities without the need to sign up or pay for a membership.7
