Much More than Recovery
The John Volken Academy’s exceptional success rate sets us apart from other treatment centres, because our long term program 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.
