Much More than Recovery
The John Volken Academy’s exceptional success rate sets us apart from other addiction treatment centers, because our long term addiction treatment center gives the brain the opportunity to re-wire itself. But that is only the beginning.
Program participants also:
- Advance in education
- Receive extensive career training
- Develop strong character
- Adopt a healthy new life-style
Program participants advance through stages until they are able to live sober, happy and successful lives – for life!

The person I had become because of drugs was someone who felt empty inside and disconnected from everyone I cared for and loved. The feeling I felt was so dark and evil that I can’t explain it in words. It was such a sick, empty, hollow feeling. The John Volken Academy has changed everything for me… I truly know I will live a life of sobriety… my family is so proud of me… they can’t believe how strong I have become.

Before coming to the John Volken Academy, my life was a mess. As a heroin addict, I would wake up every morning in pain, drenched in sweat, alone… I grew up in a family with good, strong morals, yet I lost mine while living in this world of darkness… my life has a purpose now. I have learned to have a good time without the use of drugs and alcohol.
