"Living at Middle River Asheville Sober Living has been a great experience for me. Middle River made transitioning from a treatment center into a recovery environment very easy. The structure of the halfway house allows you to make your own decisions while having rules that hold you accountable. It has helped me grow into a productive and respectable person, while teaching me the importance of being responsible. I owe a lot of my happiness and recovery to the structure that Middle River Asheville Sober Living has helped me build."

"Until 9 months ago, I had used every day for about a decade, so living life on life terms was foreign to me. While in treatment, my discharge planner and I began coordinating things with Middle River Asheville. I spoke with Lisa on the phone and we discussed various procedures and rules regarding living at Middle River. When I arrived, I was greeted by Lisa, one of the owners of Middle River Sober Living. She was extremely kind yet very serious, which is a difficult and impressive temperament to have. The house was very nice, that I could hardly believe 6 male drug addicts/alcoholics had been living there. She showed me to my room and was very pleased about my situation at this point, on my bed laid a really soft blanket and bedding. After I got situated, I went to an AA meeting right up the street. Every day for the first few months, Lisa would leave extensive lists of places that were hiring in Buncombe County pretty much. Thanks to her, it was unnecessary to enter vocational rehab, because I already had a caseworker more or less finding me potential work. Adam and I, the other owner of the houses, connected right off the back, and he, like Lisa, had been brought to our knees by the same stuff. Throughout the 7 months I was at Middle River Sober Living, they became my friends, and that's something that in the 2 years prior of me bouncing around halfway houses, I had never experienced. They provided me with priceless insight and guidance that only a fellow addict, and individual actually living a spiritual life could give. I am eternally grateful for the two of them."
