Renaissance Recovery Center – Gilbert

As a wife, watching someone you love struggle with alcoholism , it can be heart breaking. There were days filled with fear, uncertainty, and sadness. Today, because of Renaissance Recovery and most importantly my… husbands hard work , I can honestly say my husband is a new man. My husband completed the 90-day Intensive Outpatient Program and continued with nine months of aftercare. The man standing beside me today is not the same man who walked through those doors. He is present, compassionate, accountable, and full of hope. Our marriage has been restored, our family has been healed, and we are building a future together . There simply aren't enough words to thank Steve and the entire staff. They saw something in my husband that he couldn't see in himself. They loved him, challenged him, encouraged him, and never gave up on him. Their support extended beyond recovery—it gave our family a second chance. I am forever grateful that my husband chose Renaissance Recovery and that God placed these incredible people in our lives at exactly the right time.Steve and staff always made themselves available for not just my husband but also for myself. If your family is feeling hopeless, please know that healing is possible. We are living proof that people can change, marriages can be restored, and families can be made whole again. Thank you, Steve, and everyone at Renaissance Recovery, for giving me my husband back. It is a gift I will never take for granted.

Renaissance Recovery Center is the reason I am here today and able to write this. I cannot thank those who work here enough for every ounce of life saving effort they put into this program. Id recommend anyone… struggling with addiction to RRC.

Steve is an incredible addiction counselor. He is straightforward, genuine, and truly cares about each and every family he works with — and it shows. From his thoughtful and timely outreach, to the daily positive quotes… he shares, to the family group forums he hosts for loved ones of those living with addiction, every interaction is intentional and supportive. The forums have been especially meaningful. They helped us understand what to expect, how not to internalize behaviors related to addiction, and how to better navigate the challenges that come with it. His guidance brings clarity during an incredibly confusing and emotional time. Steve is truly a blessing to anyone who has the opportunity to meet and work with him. I am deeply grateful for everything he has done for us.

Renaissance and their staff have changed and saved my life- something I could never repay. The heart and care involved here is unmatched, and I’m so grateful and thankful for being led to Renaissance. I felt loved by… the group as well as the staff, and now connected to recovery going on 8 years. Thank you Renaissance!!! Love you all ❤️

For substance abuse and trauma recovery. This place is amazing! Lindsay is absolutely fantastic. She is incredible at what she does (trauma therapist) and has a heart of gold! I don't know where I would be without her.… She helped me out of a really dark place and I am forever grateful.

Renaissance Recovery is one of those places that that you will never forget. To call it special, or helpful would be the understatement of the decade. The director of RCC is named Steve, but it really should be Life… Saver. I do not say this lightly. Not only did Steve help save my actual life, but my family life as well. I have heard countless testimonies of him doing so for hundreds if not thousands of others. Steve is one of those guys that is absurdly passionate and loves what he does. He also treats you with the utmost respect and is brutally honest. As a matter of fact, the entire staff at RCC handles themselves in this manner. At RCC I was able to not only work on myself, but I was able to work towards finding the root cause of my issues and dealing with them head on. I would HIGHLY recommend RCC to anyone that is struggling and needs help. If you are willing to put in the work, RCC is the best place around.

Renaissance Recovery – When “Accountability” Stops at the Staff Door I came to Renaissance Recovery genuinely seeking help and stability. What I experienced instead was a program that talks about integrity but doesn’t… model it. During my stay, there were serious issues involving my prescribed Gabapentin medication and how it was handled by staff. After that situation, I went through over three weeks of painful withdrawal, which led to a brief relapse. I was honest about it—hoping for understanding and support—but the response I received was punishment. They threatened to take away my phone and car, instead of addressing how the problem started in the first place. When I returned to collect my things, the house manager, Mark, refused to release most of my belongings and made unsettling comments suggesting he was “untouchable.” It was an extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional experience. Renaissance Recovery claims to stand for “honest recovery,” but I witnessed a culture that protects staff and shames clients who speak up. Real recovery is built on compassion, accountability, and trust—none of which I found there. I’m grateful to now be in a healthier environment where my recovery is supported, not manipulated. If you or your loved one are considering Renaissance, please think twice. Recovery should be about healing, not punishment.

Renaissance recovery center is a great and very helpful and understanding community/family they have helped not only my fiance but me as well though her recovery and they have helped her help me so I wanted to give a… big thank you to Steve and the team for everything they do they truly care for your recovery and take care of your loved ones!!! (Highly recommend them to anyone seeking treatment!)

If you want a place that sincerely is there for you, and is there to help better your life and you're willing to do whatever it takes to keep your sobriety, this is the right place for you. The staff is amazing. Their… focus is their clients and how they can help. You also create lifelong relationships with other people that know exactly how you feel and you know how they feel. I truly don't know where I would be if I hadn't gone to Renaissance Recovery Center. They have helped me stay sober and have helped me create a healthy lifestyle and create a social network to keep my sobriety. An environment that's all about helping and never about how much money they can make. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for them. If you need help or a family member or a friend needs help reach out to them because they truly care!!!!!

Steve is the best at what he does. If you or a family member is seeking treatment, you will be grateful you called Renaissance Recovery Center.

This is the ideal place for those committed to achieving and maintaining sobriety. The staff is highly professional, bringing a wealth of knowledge not only from formal education but also from real-life experience.… We're not bad people trying to get good, we're sick people trying to get well. They administer the treatment for our sickness at Renaissance.

Steve was the exact guide we needed. In a situation where you have no idea what to do, he was able to understand sympathetically and offer guidance—and hope! As a family member getting my loved one into treatment was… the hardest and Steve always knew when to call me and offer support (and I also felt this helped hold me accountable to my responsibility to my loved one). My loved one completed his program and the change in our life is night and day. A light in the dark! There couldn’t be a holier work. I only have gratitude.

There aren’t enough words for what this recovery center has done for me and countless others! Best in the valley!

Renaissance Recovery was a godsend to our family in a time of crisis. Their compassion, dedication, and deep knowledge of addiction and recovery was evident in every aspect of the program that was a salvation to my… family member. Their intensive group program and individual counseling elicited honesty and dealt with past trauma, to give my family member the tools and insight and solid footing on their path to recovery. The openess and compassion of the family group meetings and invitation to participate in counseling sessions as desired kept me involved, hopeful, and supported as I healed in my recovery. Their dedication to after care and commitment to be there for clients and family to support any future recovery needs is a great comfort as we move forward in our lives. The Renaissance strong legacy of hope and recovery is evident in their program graduation ceremonies and alumni AA meetings, and open door to family members of past clients. We are filled with gratitude to be in this circle of hope and recovery created by Steve, Lindsey and the Renaissance team.

Does this place accept 17 year olds with a marijuana addiction

Just when I felt hopeless from a life of addiction, I found this place! The staff truly cares and save lives! I’m proud to be part of the Renaissance Family! I couldn’t imagine life without them, I thank them from the… bottom of my heart for everything I’ve learned from them! Life is Beautiful! I strongly recommend this place to anyone that’s ready to make the move!

As the spouse of someone who has been in long-term recovery for 11 years, thanks to Renaissance Recovery Center, I can't recommend this program enough. While my partner was battling addiction, I felt lost and unsure how… to best support them. That's when I discovered Renaissance Recovery Center's friends and family program. For 18 months, I learned invaluable tools and gained a deeper understanding of co-dependency and how to navigate the complexities of addiction recovery. It wasn't just about supporting my partner; it was also a journey of self-discovery. Steve, the program leader, is an absolute gift. His expertise and genuine compassion create a safe space for growth. He masterfully guides families through the recovery process, not just focusing on the addict but on the entire support system. This program transformed my life. I learned how to set healthy boundaries, prioritize my own well-being, and ultimately, become a happier person. Today, I am eternally grateful for the positive impact Renaissance Recovery Center has had on both our lives. If you're seeking a spiritual and holistic approach to addiction recovery for yourself or a loved one, look no further than Renaissance Recovery Center. It's a life-changing experience.

The work being done at RRC is life changing. I was NOT a fan at first. Went there kicking and screaming. After a little bit Steve and his staff's teachings really started to reach my heart and those dark places in my… mind. While I cannot say I was a star student, now, several years removed, I am still recounting some of the teachings and tools I learned there at RRC. I am sober and my relationships, job and life are better than ever. Steve you were and remain a blessing to me and my family.

Here’s an update on my experience. I was about 2 months into my program last year. Lost my high paying job and all my medical benefits last August. The team would not work with me on any sort of payment structure to… continue my program and I was let go from the program—not my choice. Since then I’ve done very well and am currently 8 months pregnant! However, this past week I received a bill charging me $2,400 for clinic services with invoice dated April of this year…. I haven’t received anything from this place in close to a year and now I’m being charged $2,400?! Ensuring everything is prepared financially in anticipation of my baby is already stressful enough but now I have to contend with this also??? Thanks team!!! Huge help. It’s pretty apparent this place doesn’t care unless you’re paying them!! I even reached out to Steve for help when I was struggling to find work and never got a response back... This place couldn’t care less about you once you or your insurance are no longer able to fork over cash!! Pray none of you ever experience ANY financial hardship while trying to recover—not with this place anyways. Watch out folks!!

This place helped save my family member. That family member has tried close to a dozen other places for over a decade with minimal success. The staff here helped create a community they could connect with and a… structure to do the actual work of recovery. It allowed them to dive into the recovery process in safe but effective way, not judging, and leaving NO room for excuses. Update on my family member, a little over one year after entering the program they are now over one year sober, thriving in their career, in a stable relationship, and have grown in multiple ways. The road to recovery is life long, but they are on a solid path forward. My family will forever be in the debt to the good people at Renaissance Recovery Center.

Steve Brown is a very experienced and professional clinician in this specialized area of treatment! I would highly recommend him and the Renaissance Recovery program.

The program at Renaissance is amazing. Steve Brown and his staff care for and support not only the recovering addict but the family as well. The family group that is offered to family members throughout the program… makes such a difference. We don't have the family and life we have today without the help of Renaissance. I can't recommend this program enough.

I can’t say enough about this place. This place and the amazing people that make it up helped save my life. It was the absolute best thing I could have done for myself. My life and my family are so much happier and… healthier because of Steve and his crew. Kindest man ever. ❤️ Thank you to all of you at Renascence Reccovery

Please do not… hesitate to reach out, you will find yourself in one of the most loving and helpful environments possible with people who have been where you have been. There is hope! Don’t give up!

Renaissance is everything and more when it came to my recovery. Steve, Dan, Nils, Chad & Lindsay are the real deal. They care about you, they care about your well being, they care about you untangling and un-rooting… what causes us to use. I was a highly functioning alcoholic for the better part of 20+ years and through their guidance I was able to dig deep, self reflect through their teachings to understand that I didn’t have to hold onto my personal shame, turmoil, anger, anxiety and every negative adjective that describes what we go through as addicts and was able to work through and release that pain so I didn’t keep running back to the bottle. They saved my life and I mean that literally. I had the pleasure of making some great friendships and create a brotherhood with some of the men I was in recovery in as well and we are active in our community still and it all stemmed from Renaissance. Thank you Steve for everything. Phenomenal leader who leads with love (but not weak) and truly cares about you and helping you lift every burden that we’ve carried for all those years. I’m forever grateful.

Renaissance Recovery saved my life. I was at a point in life where alcohol to my body was as essential as air, and I couldn't stop. I was powerless over alcohol. My body was failing and my relationships with family,… friends, and coworkers was crumbling. Out of desperation for help, I found Renaissance Recovery with an online search and decided to just make a call. I felt like it was my last call for help at that point. I was immediately greeted with love and compassion with an urgency to help me. Throughout my recovery at Renaissance Recovery I learned how to change my life. At 43 years old, my life now is completely different to how I lived before. I've learned how to be open and honest, how to build and maintain meaningful relationships, to find gratitude and joy in every moment of life, and how to fill my life with happiness. A lifelong weight was released from my shoulders when I finally got to the point in the recovery process of accepting that I was powerless over alcohol and understanding and doing what was needed to live a happy life while maintain sobriety. The program at Renaissance Recovery works! You just need to be willing to do the work they outline for you and be willing to participate. It's a miracle what they've put together here. It not only saved my life, but the lives of my children, not having to grow up with an alcoholic father. I am 641 days sober today and this is the happiest I've ever been in 43 years. My health is good now and my home is full of love and stability. I literally owe my life to Renaissance Recovery, that is how impactful they have been to my life. If you are struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, this program is THE solution to help you get your life back. The people at Renaissance Recovery are my family now, I have developed life-long friendships from there, that is how connected you become through the program. Thank you Renaissance Recovery!!!

Renaissance Recovery Center helped me so I could heal and get back to the real me. I can honestly say they saved my life. Steve is very caring and compassionate and loving and he and his team are there to help you get… back to being a whole person again. All of the staff was and is wonderful. Alumni are really encouraged to take advantage of RRC’s active ongoing healing community. I hope I can make it to the next graduation!
