Before my Daddy went to Edgewood he was never home. That made me sad. When he came home there was lots of yelling and crying. That made me sad too. I pretended that I couldn’t hear the fighting, but I had to plug my ears.
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.

Family Education Day is offered to friends and family members of our residential patients. Interested members of the community are also welcome. This 3 hour educational seminar provides information about the nature of addictions and the recovery process. There is no cost for this program.
They say it is a House of Miracles. People suffering from addictions and their families get well at EDGEWOOD. Sometimes, against all odds. But don't take our word for it. Here are some experiences that our patients have had at EDGEWOOD, and you can decide...Is EDGEWOOD a House of Miracles?

Over dosing became too frequent, people died. read more...

Adrian's Story
I believed that because I grew up in a healthy environment, and because I came from a successful family of scientists and doctors, and because 'everybody does this anyways,' I was just experiencing a silly 'youth phase,' and I'd outgrow it. read more...

Ken's Story
I like to think of myself as a "practicing Alcoholic in Recovery". Lord knows I practiced being an Alcoholic for long enough, I should be entitled to practice this recovery thing for just as long. read more...
