Discovery Institute for – Marlboro

Absolutely the best inpatient recovery program. If you are looking to actually get clean and sober, this is the place to go. Special shout outs to Counselor Julia, Discharge Doug, Charge Nurse Sam, Tech Marc, and MAs… Marissa and Janet! You guys/gals saved my life.

Aftercare started early. Left with a written plan, local meetings, and a crisis protocol. Still referencing it months later.

Getting there was low-key. Quiet area, easy parking, calm lobby. Didn’t feel intimidating walking in.

Money stuff was handled up front. Insurance check and cost breakdown before I started. No surprise bills later.

Six weeks in residential here. The days had a rhythm: group, one-on-one, skills, then some actual downtime. Staff remembered details about me, not just my file.

My family is so grateful for Kiersten M, one of the counselors at Discovery institute. What stood out most was her patience and willingness to go above and beyond to help. Her compassion gave us much needed comfort… during a difficult time.

What I liked about the men’s track was that it didn’t feel one-size-fits-all. All guys in group made it easier to open up. Marlboro is quiet and simple to get to.

This has been the best experience I ever had the staff was super amazing and the place was very clean and organized I would recommend anyone to check out Discovery they are changing lives one day at a time and for 50… years at that and shout to our the Greta Counslers mines was Katherine she is super amazing and made my journey so Much so grateful For this amazing staff

My name is Jason Yingst. I have been alcohol free since March 19, 2025 the day after I went into Discovery Institute. I would like to thank the staff for their help and support on this journey with me. I was an active… alcoholic for 35 years. I am now an alcoholic that chooses not to drink. I am truly blessed. I don’t go to meetings (sorry). I work out at the YMCA 5 to 6 days a week. My lil sister Jen passed away from stage 4 lung cancer and alcoholism on July 4th, she was 51. My fifth sibling to pass out of 11 children. We all have the same disease. Thank you again and have an amazing day

I appreciate any institution that is helping anyone with addiction. However this particular institution robbed me of my petty cash. I had a 10 dollar bill upon entry that wasn’t returned to me and no one has returned my… call on the situation. On top of that, because there are court mandated people there they treat everyone like an inmate.

I recently completed treatment at Discovery Institute and wanted to share my experience. The nursing staff was excellent, attentive, professional, and genuinely caring throughout my stay. Group therapy was one of the… highlights. The mix of peers was diverse, and the counselors leading sessions were insightful and patient. My primary counselor, George, went above and beyond helping me navigate communication with both my family and the court system during a difficult time. That support made a real difference. The extracurricular offerings were a real strength of the program. Meditation, yoga, and sound bowl therapy were unexpectedly wonderful additions to treatment, and having access to basketball and the gym helped a lot with staying grounded. I was even allowed to bring a keyboard and guitar and play music with other clients, which meant a lot to me. Food was simple but perfectly palatable given the circumstances. Overall, this is a place that treats people with dignity and gives real tools for recovery. Grateful for the care I received here.

Solid outpatient program, flexible hours, staff that actually answers the phone.

Discovery is a miracle place!!!! Bobby was very good at setting me up to go home!!! All the counselors were nice and patient!!! Very pleased with everyone!!!! Plus the food was amazing!!!!

Decided to get help before I lost everything completely. The facility is professional and the program is well organized. The IOP program let me start treatment while still working which was important to me. The group… sessions and individual counseling complemented each other well. The staff knows addiction and knows recovery. I'm six months sober and feel like I finally have control back. Would recommend to anyone serious about getting clean.

Not going to lie, I was skeptical. I'd heard all the promises before. But from the guy who did my intake to the therapists who ran the evening sessions, everyone just seemed to get it. They helped me figure out why I… kept relapsing and gave me a solid plan for when I walked out the door. I'm still putting one foot in front of the other and it's working.

I didn't want to be here at first but the staff didn't force anything. They let me come to my own conclusions about my substance abuse. That actually worked better for me than pressure would have. The IOP program kept… me grounded and connected to recovery. Been sober for several months and feeling more stable than I have in years.

The alcohol had me in a bad place mentally and physically. Came here desperate and the medical team took care of the physical withdrawal safely. Then the real work started with therapy and understanding my triggers. The… group dynamic helped too. You realize you're not alone in this. I'm almost a year sober now and wouldn't be without this place.

My dad brought me here because I was heading in a bad direction with drugs. I was resistant at first but the counselors didn't force anything on me. They let me come to my own realization about needing help. The program… is structured but not rigid. The guys in group were honest and didn't let me minimize what was happening. I got sober and it's sticking because I actually understand why I was using. Been clean for five months and things are getting better.

Amazing program all the staff were amazing and made me feel welcomed with opened arms. Thank you for helping me find myself in this new life of sobriety!

I went through detox here and it was rough but they managed it well. The medical staff knew what they were doing and made it as comfortable as possible. After detox the counseling helped me understand why I was using in… the first place. That's where the real work happened. I'm a few months sober and it's sticking this time because I actually understand what I need to change.

Heyyy it’s the Chief from 1995 at Discovery House Discovery is my home up until now at the age 69. Approx 40 yrs no drugs. My counselor Mary once said,, “Dare to Dream”. I’m here today the living proof of recovery. As a… Retired nurse and Sexual Assault Advocate/Criminal Justice has given me a great life. Discovery House taught me the tools so that I can become a productive member of society. I had the Desire to Change. I give thanks for the tough Love given through councilor Jimmy D and staff. He showed me the path to become happy and live life. Keep your Faith! It works if you work it!! 🎉Don’t give up!!🙏🏼 Respectfully Rosemary Diaz🌹🌹 Recovering addict I ain’t ashame!🤪

Needed help and didn't think I'd actually get it here. They made the process straightforward and the staff actually knows what they're doing.

I was using for years and thought I was done for. Got admitted to the IOP program here and it gave me structure I desperately needed. Being able to go home at night but get serious treatment during the day worked for… me. The counselors are real about recovery, not preachy. Been sober for eight months now.

My brother finished the program back in March. The staff kept our family in the loop without overstepping. They got that this thing affects everyone around the person, not just him.

Did my research before choosing. Quality varies a lot and I knew that going in. The reviews were right. This place takes the work seriously.

Four years of heavy drinking and I kept telling myself I had it handled. Did inpatient then outpatient here. The handoff between the two was smooth, no gap in support.

A guy I work with went through this place and told me about it. I was too embarrassed to even make the call at first. The intake guy made it easy to just talk. That first step was the hardest.

Just call them. I wasted two years thinking I could handle it alone. The intake team was straight with me from the start and didn't treat me like a number.
