In October and November of 2025 I spent 60 days at Costa Rica Recovery. I’m happy with my decision. I got along great with the staff, they were very supportive and there when I needed them. The food was good and the weekly trips were a nice bonus. Like with any place, I had some minor grievances but hey, it’s rehab, not the Four Seasons right? The point is, is that it worked. I’ve previously been in 3 rehabs in Canada and was drunk within days of leaving each of them. After 60 days at Costa Rica Recovery something they did worked. It stuck and I’m VERY grateful to be sober today with no thought of going back to my old life. After leaving the treatment center I continued to travel through Costa Rica and continued to receive support from Don (center manager), my councilor and my sponsor. The combined efforts of all at CRR caused a radical shift in my life, attitude and future. Thank you!

Costa Rica Recovery saved my life. The staff is like my second family. I always felt safe, loved and being guided in the right direction. Of courser the program has the 12 steps included but the new holistic approach is also applied. The combination is powerful, take what works for you. For myself the extra things like Breath work, Yoga, early morning gym works put me back into routine. I will say it was needed because the food is so good I ate way too much. If you are on the fence but feel you need help… just make a call and speak with the loving staff… most of which have been where you are and recovered

Being from Louisiana and having suffered with substance abuse my whole life, I have been to a lot of treatment facilities .Yet at age 36 , I decided I needed to do this for myself and nobody else. So , I left the United States to have the privilege of attending Costa Rica recovery. I was totally outside my comfort zone. I was welcomed with open arms. After the first 30 days, I felt like I had a new family. I experienced the level of care that I have never ever had before. They gave me the tools to be able to fight this disease. I made many good friends who I still talk to on a day-to-day basis. Costa Rica recovery is a magical place and the AA community outside of the center in Costa Rica is phenomenal. I give all my credit to Uncle Rich
