At the Agora House for Men, I did more than learn how to GET sober. I learned how to LIVE sober. In the months previous to enrolling in this residential treatment program in Gainesville, Georgia, I had been attending many AA meetings around the greater Atlanta area and working through the 12 Steps with a handful of sponsors. Despite staying away from alcohol and drugs for periods at a time, I still did not feel comfortable with myself without them, which I knew from experience would eventually lead to a relapse. In fact, I was at the Agora House once before from Oct. 2014 to Feb. 2015 and chose to leave because I was not court mandated and believed I could live properly with the relatively short amount of sober time I had. Inevitably, I fell back into the same patterns of addiction because I lacked the proper sober living skills and support network. Thus, I chose to return and fully invest myself in my recovery, and completed more than two years in the program. In this time, I participated in countless AA meetings, community support groups, fellowshipping events, sponsor sessions, and classes (which were mediated by professionals with years of counciling experience and were a HUGE help). Through the combination of accountability, responsibility, service work opportunities, and supportive feedback provided here, I grew spiritually and learned to live sober while helping others do the same.

I still am in almost daily contact with many Agora House graduates, who are continuing to give back to the recovery community and provide me with incredible inspiration and support. Through their example and by using the tools learned i the program, I was able to take responsibility for myself and, in turn, lead a fulfilling and meaningful sober life. I am approaching three years sober in August 2018, and I am immensely grateful for the time I spent here at Agora.

Wow Weeezy that doesn't sound like the place I am at. My drug court sent me to Agora as a only choice. Really glad they did though. I am living with a great bunch of guys and staff is helping me with my demons and to get my kids back. Hope your clean man and in a good place. I know I am at Agora House.

This place saved my life. It was not easy, but I learned to not only live sober, I learned how to live happy. I have my kids and my family in my life again too. I would recommend Agora to any man who is serious about their recovery.

Please go and visit the actual location before you enroll into any facility. I would have had my associates go and actually tour this facility before I committed to a one (1) year contract with this business. I had no previous experience with residential treatment and just expected it to be a professional therapeutic atmosphere since it was court approved by my county. I had no idea what questions to ask and what to look for before I entered a program. Just go and tour the facility where you will be housed and then look at the other facilities in the area. I can assure you that they are not all the same quality. I lost a lot of my financial assets trying to complete this program and working a minimum wage job while paying for this program. I I was disappointed when I found out that the treatment was consist of daily required outside 12-step AA meetings at the local church. This was not what I expected from a court approved treatment program. I am now appreciative of a legitimate treatment program after a very bad experience in this program. Please check it out thoroughly before you enroll yourself or a loved one in this particular facility. I am not ever going to be associated with any business without first becoming familiar with the business more carefully. This was a horrible first experience in the treatment arena.
