The Blanchard Institute

I must say, the support I received here truly saved my life! From the moment I stepped in, the staff—who have personally navigated their own recovery journeys—made me feel right at home. Their approach, especially the blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Recovery Yoga, was just what I needed to start shifting those negative thought patterns. And can we talk about the BioSound Therapy? It's like a mini-vacation for your mind and body! If you're seeking recovery support, trust me, this is the place to be. ❤️

What amazed me during my time at The Blanchard Institute was the undeniable passion and dedication of the staff. As an intern, I got to witness firsthand how invested they were in their clients' journeys. The blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and unique approaches like BioSound Therapy created such a comforting atmosphere for all who walked through the doors. I mean, watching someone transform through Recovery Yoga was inspiring! Every session felt like a step towards healing, and the supportive interactions among the team and clients made it all feel so genuine. It's definitely a place where you can feel hope, and I can't recommend it enough!

It wasn’t long after I started attending the substance abuse treatment program in Charlotte that I began to feel a sense of disappointment. My hope for long-term sobriety and personal growth felt stifled by my experiences there. While I appreciated the idea behind the therapy sessions, the execution left much to be desired. The staff interactions sometimes bordered on threatening and unprofessional, which is the opposite of what someone in recovery needs. I think there’s a significant need for more focus on individual work and growth here; it’s easy to feel lost in the process. If they could better educate clients about what to expect and how to engage effectively, I believe it could lead to more positive outcomes. Until then, I leave feeling a little disheartened rather than empowered in my journey.
