What reviewers said

Reviewers frequently praised the staff, many of whom were in recovery themselves, for their understanding and connection with clients. The facility's affordable, peer-led model and supportive environment were also highlighted as strengths. However, some critics described the program as too permissive or short, and others expressed concern that some clients were unmotivated or court-ordered, which negatively impacted the therapeutic atmosphere.

<p><strong>ABOUT EDGEHILL RECOVERY TREATMENT CENTER</strong></p> <p>Edgehill Recovery Center, located in quaint, history-rich Winchester, Va., offers an individualized, abstinence-based <strong>residential treatment program for adults</strong> struggling with substance abuse. Detox services are not offered on-site. The rehab is among <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/VA16.pdf" target="_blank">9.6 percent</a> of treatment facilities throughout the state that provide short-term, non-hospital residential care.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Treatment at Edgehill Recovery Center addresses all affected areas of an individual’s life — social, mental, physical, and spiritual. The residential program <strong>typically lasts for 30 days</strong> and is tailored to each client's individual needs, which is determined by initial assessments.</p> <p>Residents attend <strong>daily Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings,</strong> along with participating in relapse prevention groups, meditation classes, and educational lectures or workshops.</p> <p>The weekends are more relaxed. The program <strong>emphasizes healthy family systems</strong>; therefore, residents can have family visits while they enjoy some down time. Phones and television, while allowed, are restricted to certain times.</p> <p>The facility provides clients with an <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare plan</a>, which includes allowing alumni to return to support current clients through the facility’s “open campus” policy.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Information regarding staff credentials is not available online, however, the facility’s website notes <strong>all staff members are in recovery from alcohol or drug addiction</strong>. It also mentions that community members are invited to speak to the residents about the 12-steps and living a sober life. There is <strong>no physician on-site</strong>, given that Edgehill Recovery Center provides care in a non-medical setting. </p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Edgehill Recovery Center's facility is an early 19th-century building, which originally served as a nursing home and women’s college before becoming a treatment center. Photos posted on the website depict a stately complex nestled on a hill in a lushly landscaped setting. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The 12 alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date offered mostly positive opinions of the facility. All six alumni surveyed extensively by Rehabs.com would recommend Edgehill Recovery Center and gave the facility <strong>highly positive reviews</strong>, specifically for the facility's staff and for its accommodations. However, alumni felt the facility could improve in the amount of holistic offerings.</p> <blockquote> <p>Staff Experience and Training: 4.75/5<br /> Facility Cleanliness and Upkeep: 4.6/5<br /> Holistic Offerings: 2.8/5</p> </blockquote> <p>Alumni felt the staff, all of whom are in recovery, helped them significantly, such as Tamara, who wrote: “It was exactly what I needed. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and very supportive." One anonymous alum added: “This place saved my life. Very friendly accommodating staff, tons of AA and NA meetings and an abundance of love and education in twined together.”</p> <p>On secondary review sites, the facility also received <strong>favorable feedback</strong> to date: 4.1 out of five stars based on 15 reviews on Google and 4.7 stars based on 22 reviews on Facebook, which the organization can manage. <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> Reviewers (alumni, loved ones) referenced the benefits of engaging with staff who had similar substance use experiences and were “kind,” “patient,” “supportive,” and “loving.” Lori Ann, a five-star reviewer on Facebook, wrote: “The staff &amp; volunteers take their clients’ recovery seriously. I highly recommend if you have someone struggling with addiction!” </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The five loved ones polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave <strong>mixed reviews</strong>. Milton, the father of a former client, reported the facility was “very personal, friendly, and laid back." Offering a four-star rating for the amount of family involvement and five stars for the facility's leadership, Milton added: "My son was happy and enjoyed the time he was in treatment." </p> <p>However, another loved one provided a neutral three out of five stars for several metrics, including treatment effectiveness, its costs, and for the likelihood they would recommend the facility. "Was not enough to help my friend stay sober," the loved one wrote.</p> <p>A father of a client reported that their son completed the 30-day program. However, after the facility reported to authorities that the former client stopped attending court-ordered aftercare meetings, he relapsed. The parent blamed the staff for this outcome and the lack of information regarding aftercare requirements.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Edgehill Recovery Center does not provide information online about its fees, other than the facility "provides an affordable environment in which to begin recovery from addiction." <strong>Insurance and other third-party payments are not accepted</strong>.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=edgehill+recovery+retreat+center&oq=Edgehill+Recovery+Retreat+Center&aqs=chrome.0.0.425j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x89b5ee52054abb69:0xfa39d5d6666415e2,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com.pages/Edgehill-Recovery-Retreat-Ctr/117133321679476" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com.pages/Edgehill-Recovery-Retreat-Ctr/117133321679476</a></small></p>
