Aquila continues to help save my life. As with all groups, it depends on the group size and participation and this place does not disappoint. I have enjoyed this group so much that I continue to attend even after completing all my treatment goals. I would highly recommend this place to anyone struggling

The services I have received at Aquila have been probably the main reason I have made it to my year and a half of recovery. I cannot recommend them enough. The counselors I have worked with take the time to make personal connections and really care.

I was able to achieve what I didn’t think was possible.

The therapists here are professionals. They make group therapy fun. I look forward to attending every week. Emmy rocks like a panda at the D.C. Zoo.

I have recommended Aquila to others and will continue to do so. I have had a very positive, life-changing experience here.

My third try at sobriety started like the others, checking a box for others. 2 ½ years later, I’m still here and still sober.

A card will never be enough, nothing will ever be enough for the gift you gave me. Today, I am six months, one week and two days sober. I found out in mid-December that I no longer need a liver transplant because mine was able to recover with the amount of sobriety I maintained.You gave me a place to go that wasn’t a happy hour and then you taught me how to cope with my self-medicating. Thank you for helping me. I was miserable, had no sense of self and was so deep into an addiction problem that I couldn’t see the problem. I am now active in the recovery community near me. Because I am a journalist, I document what it was like to go through the transplant evaluation process – that project turned into a documentary about coming to terms with being an alcoholic. Again, thank you for everything.

I found that Aquila met my needs precisely where other programs have not; integrated individual counseling, group therapy, and sober living. Also the fact that the program was tailored to my individual, high-intensity needs was extremely beneficial. All of the counselors and staff are great!

My most positive memory about Aquila was the young person's group because I felt it was the most relevant to me. This group was more egalitarian with sharing time, so everyone felt accommodated. The men's group was also very good; I liked Dave's mediations because it helped get everyone channeled from the start, which led to more cohesive sessions.
