My time spent at Avatar has been nothing short of life changing. I came in simply expecting to work on my sobriety, but I am leaving with such an abundance of a renewed view of myself and what my life can and will be. I am leaving with confidence, with new friendships, and an inner strength that I forgot I had. Steve and his team have cultivated an atmosphere and culture that promotes mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health and growth. To say that I am grateful for the exceptionally supportive team of individuals that work here is an understatement. The nurses (shout out Rebecca and Steph!) treat every patient with such care and attentiveness. The team of techs and support staff make the days fun and entertaining. The kitchen staff is phenomenal, and the cleaning team is unmatched in their diligence to keeping the facility on top notch condition around the clock. I could go on! Five stars. Thank you, Avatar.

Came here with my boyfriend after he talked to his friend growing up that works at Avatar now. Coming up from Philly, unless you have private insurance, you don't get into places anywhere near as nice & luxurious as Avatar. You may not like all the things you see or all the people that you deal with, but it's very easy to find someone at Avatar that's more than willing to help you! For us, it was my boyfriend's friend that did a lot for us clients when we were there. Thank you Andrew for helping us out from the start and thank you Avatar for your accomodations that make it easy to stay.

I would never have come here without getting referred by a hometown friend that works there. Very happy with the decision my girlfriend and I made. Now we're back home at halfway in Philly living better & sober than we've been in years! Thanks to my close dawg from Philly! You always looked out & I definitely never would've came here without me talking to you about it! Thank you

From detox to my stay in housing doing PHP all the way though OP. Avatar was exceptional in catering to my needs, helping me on my journey in recovery. Tatyana, Steve, Mel, Andrea, Glenn, Lenny, Caitie, Sammy and many many more individuals who aided me in my process. Thank you to everyone at avatar, and for giving me this gift called recovery

I got recommended this place from a friend from Philadelphia and I couldn't be happier with the decision of coming to Avatar for established help when all I've been used to was state-run facilities. Avatar offered clients so much in accommodations that its easy to overlook the excellent treatment you really do receive from the whole staff working in cohesion as a group project and the clients' Recovery is the thesis. It's also a plus to have your own room and bathroom with the ability to use your phone and laptop for work. They also took care of our self-care needs of a haircut with a legit barber that cuts some NY Giants players and Andrew takes people to the nail salon. I'm so grateful for my stay that goes beyond just these memorable accommodations that will never let me look at another rehab the same way. I would rather wait for a bed to open up at Avatar before i go somewhere else! Take that how you will!

Got referred by a longtime family friend Andrew that looked out the whole stay. Avatar by far offers more than any other place around. Check it out!
