Samba Recovery Reviews

Great program for people who are recovering from drugs & trying to stay sober. Drugs are bad, samba recovery is great 🧏🏼‍♂️

I have been addicted to everything under the sun over the past 24 years. I starting dabbling with substances the night I graduated highs school…just alcohol and weed. I had found my out! When I was treated for a kidney infection and prescribed Vicodin I thought I was in heaven!! I finally found my way to numb the pain and dissociate from everything and just move through life on cruise control, completely ignoring everything I needed to address the underlying pain and trauma that had been affecting me since child hood. Over that first year of using, it quickly progressed to not just weed and alcohol, but also cocaine, ecstasy, MDMA, whippets, GHB amongst other stuff to boost the current highs that I had. I was deep in the throes of addiction, just that fast. I tried to move away. I tried constantly to go to school and focus my attention on something else, but it never lasted. I was stuck and I didn’t know how to get out. I tried so many times to quit on my own for my kids for myself for my family. I wanted to be done but I wasn’t. Now 24 years later, I look back at all the wasted time and it saddens me. This past October I found myself in a very dark place mentally emotionally and even physically as my body showed me, it was about to be the end that it couldn’t take this life anymore. I was so scared. I finally realized I had to get help or else I was gonna die so I went to rehab thinking that was all I would do, but I realized I was terrified when it came time to leave, so I checked into Samba in Savannah for an aftercare program I got here on December 5, 2024. This is my first time in a sober, living environment and doing PCP and capital IOP… I’m currently in IOP and I have a sponsor I go to meetings. I am looking for work and I am actually working a program. I’m actively seeking God to see where I can change And I am so happy and excited for life ahead. It had been so long since I actually was excited about life. That’s a gift!! I am so grateful for Samba and the people here and what this place has done for me in my life. I would recommend it to anyone! I will say, you only get out of this program what you put into it; so if you want an actual change and you’re ready to let go of everything you know and grasp onto everything they teach that can help you make a better life then, I definitely recommend you come here and be a sponge and absorb it all with an open mind . This was the life change that I needed. This place has helped me find my footing in recovery and has giving me the tools I need to be able to live clean and sober. I know now that I have other ways of coping and getting through hard times, or even happy celebratory times, without drinking or drugging. Life can be amazing!. You just have to be willing to unlearn what hasn’t worked and work hard to learn and take suggestions as to what will work! Come willing and openminded! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

It is great so far they care about you

I've been with Samba's pr6for quite sometime now, The professionalism that the staff brings is amazing!
Through out the months I have been here, I have really grown as a person
Thr therapists, House managers are very knowledgeable in what they do

The Director Lisa is by far far the most concerned and living Director I have ever met in one of these programs

I recently had the opportunity to work with Samba trying to find a treatment option for a client that didn’t have many. This team worked diligently to meet this individual where they were and help them continue on their recovery journey. I Was impressed with the patient advocacy and flexibility of this program.

Excellent facility with an amazing staff! Highly recommend to anyone looking for help!
