Through The Archway

I have worked in the addiction treatment field for 33 years. The owners of Through The Archway, Peter and Marion Marinelli are exemplary members of the treatment and recovery community. They have dedicated their lives to helping addicts and alcoholics find a new way to live. I have referred people to Through The Archway, and would not hesitate to entrust one of my own family members’ to the care of the Marinelli’s and their staff!

I was a mess. A very big mess when I showed up at Above All, a 56-yr-old alcoholic who was on the verge of losing her job and her life and her everything. I am leaving now with a heavy heart as it is my time to go out in the world and be a big girl now. A big SOBER girl now. The therapy there is fantastic, they know what they are doing. Special kudos go to Jill, Stanley, Tyrone and Dina, all of their sessions provided me with resources I will use for the rest of my life. The nurse, Laurie? One of the best nurses I have ever encountered in my life. The shop is fun, too, so thank you Tim for your hard work in helping this woman find her creative side.

The techs are tough at times, but I now know why. My only true hard dislike is that the residence is not in the same building as therapy. So much wasted time hauling in and out of vans. The residential facilities are a dump. There is no kinder way to say this. Mold and bacteria led to several illnesses, and I was a victim who paid the price a few times. Plus, having the therapy and residences in the same structure means more therapy time, and let me tell you, EVERY single minute is valuable. The selection of AA meetings as well could be better researched and organized.

With that said, would I recommend Above All to someone in need to help? Every day, all day long. And I am a tough critic, very tough. These people saved my life. Period.

Thank you to the staff and owners. I owe you so much.

This is the very best program I have ever completed. Every staff member is dedicated to recovery and well informed. I learned things about myself and my disease that I'd never heard before in other programs. Amenities are perfect, food is good. This time I believe I have the best plan to maintain sobriety that I have ever had. I love this place, they save people's lives here and truly care about recovery for every individual with individualized attention.

Above All was my first treatment center I've been to after 26 years of addiction. It's was exactly what I needed. The therapists are amazing and it's very structured. They definitely helped save my life. I highly recommend it. I am now sober and living the life I was always meant have.

Above All Recovery is the best treatment program I have been involved with hands-down. The staff and therapists at above all are top notch and truly care about recovery. They take the time and effort to understand each individuals struggle and work hard to prepare you for the world of sobriety. I'm leaving treatment here very happy, confident and excited about my future.
