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! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Samba's dedication and empathy towards patients and their care is some of the best I've seen from working professionals in this field. Patty and his staff provide years of knowledge related to substance use and offer individualized care for those who seek sobriety and long-term recovery. I would recommend any of my family members to seek services from a Samba location.

I can't say enough good things about Samba Recovery. Not only was it a great place to get sober but I’ve also met many great friends here who continue to support me in my recovery journey today.

Great program ran by an excellent team of staff, therapists, and counselors. This program is giving me the second chance to get my life back on track and to be the person I am and is supposed to be.

I love Samba it has changed my life, and Ethan is amazing

this place changed my life forever, thank you so much

Great staff, great people, great recovery. They truly care. This is the place to get your life back. Having a guy with as many skills as Cole H has is also a huge plus.

I've only been here for 2 weeks but I have no complaints so far. The staff is very caring and hands on. The group sessions are the best. My therapist Dr. B is a true man that words cannot speak of his talent. You get out what you put in and I'm putting my all in my recovery.

My uncle made an incredible recovery after his time in rehab. At first, it was tough—he struggled with the adjustment and facing the reasons he needed help—but over time, he fully committed to the process. Through therapy, support groups, and a lot of inner work, he started to rebuild his confidence and health. The structure and encouragement he received at the rehab center made a huge difference, and he stayed focused on his goals every step of the way. Now, he’s doing much better—he’s healthier, more positive, and back to enjoying life with a clearer mind and stronger sense of purpose.

Samba Recovery is amazing! The staff is super supportive and knowledgeable, and they really care about helping you get better. The programs are solid, and I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. Special shoutout to Ethan, the house assistant manager – he’s always on top of things and makes sure everything runs smoothly. He’s got a great balance of being firm when needed but also knows how to keep things chill. I mean, he’s almost too organized, but it definitely helps keep the house running without any issues! Highly recommend Samba if you're serious about recovery!

Party O really helped me when I needed. He has a vast knowledge of recovery and the best way to Navigate it. He's very honest and a very caring guy. He definitely will do his utmost to help anyway he can!
