Drug Rehab Centers in Marshfield, Missouri

In 2012, at the age of 55 I was in a car wreck in which a local small town policeman ran a red light with no lights or siren and collided with my 2003 Mustang, resulting in my vehicle being completely totaled. I am not a street person, I have a bachelors degree in Business/Marketing and a teaching certification. For several years I had been a grocery merchandiser traveling around southwest Missouri calling on Walmart stores to build displays, put up advertising and just do various forms of merchandising within the stores, earning about $13 an hour. I only had liability insurance on my car and the insurance company for this small town refused to pay for my vehicle. Thus I lost my job, I was unemployed, unable to pay my rent and in the meantime I became completely bankrupt. As I had to have a car to do my job and I could not find any work where I could take the bus. I was bankrupt and unable to pay my rent and full of fear as to where I was going to end up.Many well educated, good people find themselves homeless due to misfortune and not necessarily . I had heard of Recovery Chapel, and being in recovery myself, I called Farris Robertson and he explained their program to me. How I could become a resident of RC for about $400 a month, including meals and receive Spiritual Guidance, and group support through group studies and individual counseling with Mr. Robertson and other volunteers that came in to deliver a message of hope. If you have ever found yourself totally helpless, financially destitute and with no idea where to turn, then RC is truly a God send. Many good men and women find themselves homeless, jobless and with no place to go, through no real fault of their own. I was not drinking or using drugs, I just got myself into a hopeless situation I had gone through a double bypass in 2009 so I was already struggling financially. I did have another heart attack in 2012 while living at RC and the staff and my friends helped me tremendously after I had 4 more stints put in my heart. At RC along with the encouragement, housing and food I received I also got some assistance in renting a car so I could again get a merchandising job. As I sit here in my own apartment (self sufficient through Christ) in southeast Springfield, with a nice dependable car in the parking lot, and a great part time job with CROSSMARK merchandising, it is hard to imagine that my life has been restored, or better yet, not just restored but renewed and I live a better quality life than I have since my 30's and I owe it all to God, Recovery Chapel, Farris Robertson, Terry St. Clair and then rest of the staff and the board of directors. Philippians 4:13 paraphrased; "All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me".

was here from December 2022 until August 2023 (I don't remember exactly, but it was close to that). I was in Bruemmer. When I first got at the cottage, I was terrified. I've been to three 2 week mental placements before this, It was just scary knowing I could stay there for a long time. Yes, I did end up staying a long time, but would I say it was a waste of my time? No, I would not. When I first arrived there I was greeted by Ms. Brooks? I think that is how you spell it. She took my medication that I had previously from the last placement and did an evaluation with me. After all of that was done, I went to Ms. Maggie's office, we chatted for a bit. She's super nice and funny and really tries to make this a comfortable environment as much as she can. Keep in mind there's kids in foster care here with nowhere to go, or they are struggling mentally. I was there for struggling mentally. Anyway, fast forward a while later, I got comfortable quickly, there was a routine and boundaries set for everyday. Plus, some fun things we did like karaoke or just having free time where we drew, did each other's hair, or simply just read a book. My favorite part of being here was the outings. (Where you go out to public places). We also went to the Mermac Ranch. I had the pleasure of going with another peer and Ms. Anne to a mud run that was there. It was super fun. I'm going to shout out some of the staff that really knew what they were doing with their job and that really cared for the future of the kids. One of them was Mr. Monte. He was caring when I got to bruemmer. He made sure I was comfortable with my surroundings and got what I needed. Over time, he was the only one I really talked too, he didn't go through the same stuff as me, but he understood where I was coming from. I remember I was having a huge breakdown in the hallway, and he was the one who was in there with me. I was trying to act tough and be smart, but all I really needed was just comfort, and he knew that without me even telling him. The next one is Ms. Key. (Mr. Monte's sister). Ms. Key is exactly how her name sounds. She has the key to open your heart. She's a super sweet person. She laughs at everything. Even if it's not funny, she just will brighten up your day with one sentence. She always helped me set healthy boundaries with staff and peers, and on occasion, she gave me a piece of her food sometimes. I could go on more about all of the other staff that impacted my stay positively, but I'm pretty sure they don't work there anymore, and I've said way too much in this review already. Now, you may be wondering why just four stars if I had a good experience. I put four stars because being here can be super stressful. A lot of the kids I were with ran away a bunch, or the whole cottage got into three restraints in one day. I was a part of both of those things, I ran away, but I just got to the other side of the fence before I got caught by a track star. (Ms, Lillie). I actually respect her for catching me, even though the restraints were tight. I'm still really glad that she saw me. If you're planning to come here, PLEASE do not run, running does you no good. It puts you on lockdown for so long, and all of the staff have to watch your every move, which is not fun for you or for the staff. Then most of the food was really good, I mean not super good, but for being in this type of place for so long and forgetting what real food taste like sometimes, this is the best you got. The cooks were super sweet. If you want to come here, you should. I would totally just come back and talk about my experience about being here to shed a little light on the situation they are in. Yes, this place has its ups and downs, but that's every mental placement. I want to thank everyone who knew me while I was here. I never thought I would see myself so happy and thoughtful of my surroundings, I'm with my family, and I'm about to graduate therapy. It feels so joyful when you're healthy. You'll sucker punch the stuff you're dealing with into the ground. Thank you for helping me. -Jewel K

Synergy changed my life for the better. I can t say enough good things about the place and the wonderful people that work there. They help you build a foundation for a sober and mentally healthy lifestyle. They focus more on mental health, instead of just sobriety, which is the key to a successful recovery. I learned how to deal with my nearly uncontrollable anxiety and no longer use alcohol as a coping mechanism. I honestly can t say anything negative about my experience at Synergy. From the peaceful setting, to all the activities that help you relax and focus on yourself, to the amazing food and everything in between, my time there was enjoyable and truly life changing. They have built something special at that place and I can t recommend it enough. Don t waste your borrowed time and money at another lower class facility. This is the place for you.
