My experience at Aventa was warm and welcoming. The Staff and Counsellors are extremely friendly and helpful, making the time at Aventa as comfortable and pleasant as possible. I have learned and grown so much in my time here. I am confident leaving here that I can make healthy choices. I encourage anyone dealing with hurt, frustration, and pain to try Aventa; to take the time to work on yourself and heal with the help of peers experiencing similar traumas. I am forever grateful that I decided that I was worth recovery; thank you Aventa.

I’ve tried many different treatment centres and couldn’t figure out why they weren’t working for me. I was very apprehensive about going to an all-woman treatment centre, but I’m sure grateful I did. I now understand why co-ed facilities don’t work for women. From Staff to Addiction Counsellors to the groups and programming, it’s all designed and run so well! I came into Aventa so broken with no hope. I’ve graduated and walked out of here with self-esteem for once in my life, knowing who I truly am and really loving me. The experience at Aventa was a blessing. I highly recommend Aventa to any women out there struggling with addiction.

Aventa has changed my life completely. I came to this program broken and alone, afraid of my own thoughts and feelings; I am leaving Aventa a completely different person. For the first time in forever, I feel like a strong, confident woman. A woman who as a voice, and who is not afraid to use it. Aventa has given me the tools that I need to succeed in life and in my recovery. I am forever grateful for this program.

I can honestly say that Aventa saved my life. The staff were amazing! I have discovered so much about myself and now look forward to my future with hope, not fear. The completion of this program is a huge hallmark in my recovery and I am so thankful to been given this opportunity of self-discovery. Thank you for the tools to move forward and the ability to live the life I’ve always wanted!

Aventa is an awesome program for women suffering from addictions and trauma. I felt like it got more to the root of my problems and why I was drinking so I didn’t have to deal with my feelings. That was what I hadn’t dealt with in other co-ed treatment centres. I would recommend this center as an excellent place to work on recovery.

My experience at Aventa was life changing. I’ve gained valuable knowledge and real-life tools that I will utilize in sobriety. The staff were accepting, tolerating and patient which allowed me to open to my true self, and begin my healing journey.
