Addiction & Mental Health Treatment Center in Columbus, OH

A great place to start a new era of sobriety. Recovery Village Columbus (RVC) is located in Ohio; the facility offers phenomenal experiences with mostly well-educated professional clinicians. These folks thrive on helping others and it seems to be working as the proof is in the banana pudding. The clinicians and facilitators are genuinely here to embrace others during difficult times of need. Their efforts are commendable to say the least.

Many repeat Clients are found in every group...most have received treatment here on many occasions and they keep coming back; that speaks volumes. Patients who do not attain long-term sobriety often return here for another try. This is certainly beneficial for "newbs" who often rely on the veterans to acclimate to the facility and many nuances of RVC living. Much of the orientation process is peer-patient led with lots of self guidance.

Food is an oft-contemplated consideration when selecting a rehab facility. This review focuses on the dining offerings that cannot be articulated on the corporate website or when calling Advanced Recovery Solutions (the parent company of RVC).

The food is reminiscent of familiar venues such as one of those large-scale chain buffet restaurants (remember Ponderosa?) which is comforting. Ever dined in a cafeteria with a stellar view AND a buffet with outdoor seating? It’s like that! But, as a colossal twist, there is no buffet, view or patio!

Meal efficiency is paramount; meals are served in just 45 minutes), the facility has conveniently streamlined the food choices to a single entree selection.

Accordingly, the carnivore line moves quickly and pescatarian, vegan or vegetarian folks can meander around the salad bar, engaging in conversation while searching for new ways to make the same salad different. This arrangement inspires a high degree of creativity and serves as a distraction to typical rehab monotony. Not much time passes before this nightly activity's requisite creative spirit will supersede Clients' normal addictive urges.

Kosher items are not served by default, but the facility's website suggests reaching out ahead of time for special dietary considerations or concerns. Additionally, non-plant-based chicken is periodically offered as an alternative to daily meat and fish selections.

After dinner, Clients can pass a little wind on one of the two elevators (often one is operable daily). Relax at the smoker's gazebo to digest your small, but delightfully chewy meal. Try the burrito and there is no doubt that your jaw had a great workout. It's like a Peloton for your face, with many Clients appearing at least a year younger after dinner!

The cafe (this is the term used at RVC for cafeteria) offers two snacks...almost every day! In fact, one of the snack choices is often a delicately sized portion of freshly bagged and preserved fruit. Choose wisely for the evening snack; this is the last opportunity to eat anything without extra fees until breakfast is served the following morning. Hoarding of food items, especially perishables, is strongly discouraged.

For those who miss the 15 minute snack opportunity, there is an automated vending option. Retain a credit card after your intake process as it's needed to operate the cashless vending machines. Clients like the many food and drink options. Pricing can be confusing, but they are posted in USD. Some clients assume there is a currency conversion such as pesos to dollars. Be sure to plan for the price of convenience. A debit card or low-interest credit card is the best way to fund any snack urges satisfied by the vending machine.

TIP: Groups may find one of the snack options is deleted in the event of unwelcome behavior(s). Peers should manage themselves internally as to not lose this privilege. Additionally, the vending machine is a privilege, thus rubbish must be managed appropriately. If excessive/problematic, the vending machine becomes part of the "Learn-with Leverage concept" to realign the group and regain cleanliness and order.

Amazing staff, great environment for healing

By far the best and most compassionate staff! They tend to your needs and treat everyone equally. I love them all!! I’ve been here 4 times and I always miss them when I leave. Cafeteria is amazing! No other place compares!! Because of them, this time I will recover. Love, Haley Smith

RVC really changed my outlook on life. I want to begin by saying that I was at RVC for Thanksgiving and Christmas. As soon as I stepped foot in the door, patients around my age(27) took me under their wing. And shortly after, all patients did! So the patients really made a difference during my time here. The counselors were also fabulous! Andrea and Mel were so amazing. Both have made a lasting impact on me!! The kitchen staff were always in a good mood and the food was great. The BHT’s and nurses made sure we had top of the line care at all hours of the day. When people take the time to carefully explain your medication, you know you’re cared for. Nurse Chris, Heather and Diego always went above and beyond to make RVC feel like home! I have to say a HUGE thanks to staff and patients at RVC. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for my recovery. I am from OOT and i’m coming back for my 2 month coin because of how amazing AA was as well. Thank you all so much for taking such good care of me and making me feel loved!! ❤️

I’ve been looking for a new program here in Columbus i need one that accepts couples. Do yall accept couples or do you know a program that does?

Words can't describe 118 days inpatient if you want a new life walk thru there door 24/7 the staff are Amazing ❤ it works if you work it they gave me a road map to a substance free destination much love 💘 to everyone that keeps the lights on at Recovery village 😘🙏miracles happen there 🙌🥰🎈

This was my last hope and I can’t say enough good things about this place. I came here at the lowest place in my life and after a month of treatment I am better than I’ve ever been mentally, physically, emotionally. The staff are all very helpful and any concerns you may have are taken very seriously. If you need somewhere judgment free to heal on anything drugs, alcohol, or simply mental health this would be my top pick. They also make sure you are set up with appointments, housing, etc before you leave. As long as you complete your program you will be taken care of even after your time there.

I've been here at The Recovery Village in Groveport since September 16th. Its been the best experience of Recovery I've ever experienced, the staff is great, food is great and the rooms are awesome. Mel Timberlake and Rochelle Sparks are Awesome! I really enjoy joking around with Ann and Hislord from the nursing staff. Anyways all around great place for Recovery!!! Mel has alot of knowledge and is just a solid person. Thank You... Paul Babcock

The Recovery Village Columbus is truly a remarkable place for anyone seeking help with mental health and addiction recovery. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels safe, supportive, and comfortable—an ideal environment for healing. The staff is absolutely top-notch, always taking the time to provide care tailored to each Peer’s individual needs. Everyone—from the friendly administrative team to the compassionate facilitators and counselors—makes it a point to listen, guide, and offer encouragement every step of the way. The Recovery Village Columbus gave me the confidence and tools to embrace sobriety one day at a time, and I’m deeply grateful for the genuine compassion and dedication of everyone there.

Staff was wonderful food was just okay therapists were awesome and my overall stay was great

Very professional, very caring, 3 meals a day prepped, snacks to. Everyone's very friendly, listens well and very attentive to patients needs for a growth mindset.

RVC is an amazing place with amazing staff I can honestly say they changed my life. The facility is old and needs a lot of work but other than that I would recommend going there.

A great place to heal—staff is wonderful and professional.

I just spent 60 days here and it was absolutely life changing. The groups were very informative and the individual therapy was very in depth. Recovery is possible. ✨️ Thank you recovery village for giving me a second chance at life.

RVC is a great place to be when you need help recovering from drugs and alcohol. The staff is amazing and they really listen to you. I wouldn't trade any of the clinicians even the one's that I didn't work with one on one.
The staff at RVC made me feel like my thoughts and opinions mattered.
If you need a place to go for help please please please check out RVC, you won't be sorry.

The staff are the best and the environment creates a community of people that are passionate and supportive.

Every psych facility is bound to have problems but this facility makes an effort to constantly improve and actually listens to patients. They maintain rules while still allowing patient freedom. The patients who come here actually want to improve and the staff do a great job facilitating that. More often than not people finish in a much better place than when they entered. It lives up to the name and is focused on helping people with recovery of all types. For those jaded by the poor state of mental health treatment this facility may be a breath of fresh air and allow you to begin to make progress on the root cause of problems beyond just slapping a medication on you.

This is my first time being in a Recovery Center and the experience I had was wonderful. The people I met are friends for life and the staff were amazing and helpful when I needed them. Jessica did my intake and I had a great conversation with her and it truly helped me feel better about my decision. The BHT’s and nurses work hard to help everyone when we had questions or needed things. The clinicians that ran groups know what they are talking about and help to get the patients to open up as to why you are there. They have all helped me to become the person I knew I could be.

The staff and counselors are fantastic. The program will your life. I strongly recommend RVC.
