Testimonials

  • "McShin has given me the steps I needed to learn about recovery and how to start building that foundation. Without them I wouldn't have the relationships with my parents and family that I do today and for that alone I will be forever grateful. I learned how to stay clean, find a sponsor, a home group and that working a program of recovery is the only way to live life on life's term without using drugs."
  • "The McShin Foundation helped me build a foundation to find a new way to live. Because of this new way of life, I was able to build honest relationships with the father of my child, have my daughter back in my life, and find a passion for helping others on this same path. McShin showed me the steps to take to fully engage in the 12-step program that continues to save my life and make me into the person I am today. I have been in recovery since January 27, 2017."
  • "I used to be homeless. I walked into The McShin Foundation and was provided a scholarship into a recovery house that same day. I was given groceries, a bed, a chance that day. I was able to build a foundation, network with people also seeking recovery, and now am able to help others who are struggling and want a change. Today, I am able to offer experience, strength, and hope to others. I have hope today."
  • "I attended McShin for 60 days. In that time, I was loved on the whole time, while learning about myself and practicing and applying a 12-step program in my life. I am eternally grateful for McShin and what they continue to do on a daily basis. McShin gave me the tools to save my life. Thank you for taking time for and believing in me."
  • "I am very grateful for McShin. When I first arrived, I was pregnant and had nowhere else to go. I was able to get some recovery through my pregnancy. Pregnancy was very difficult for me, but recovery and McShin made it easier. If it wasn’t for the community and support I found at McShin, I probably would have returned to a life of active addiction. I am grateful for McShin and recovery every day!"
  • "I started using when I was 15 years old. , I have lived more fully in this past year than the 17 years I was using. Less than 24 hours after I reached out for help, I was in Richmond, Virginia at The McShin Foundation. I am one of the lucky ones living with the disease of addiction. Not just surviving, but living. Living a beautiful life full of laughter, tears, joys, disappointments, milestones, dreams, goals, ups, and downs. My life has not always been one so full of all the aspects life has to offer."

In theory this is a good idea, but the staff is overwhelmed and underpaid and can't control participants. Accommodations were deteriorating. This is not recovery.

The peer to peer model is what truly helped me. I tried many times before coming to McShin to get and stay clean and was unsuccessful. The community and staff are amazing. Peer to Peer; recovering in the community and not a lock down facility; links to clinical services; offers same day services.

My son had been in and out of treatment facilities for several years never holding on to recovery for very long. The peer to peer recovery program McShin offers was the ticket for his success. He really "clicked" with the administration and fellow clients. They got him involved as an advocate to help fight the stigma of the disease of addiction. There was no more sitting on the sidelines waiting for recovery to happen. He "ran with the good herd" and got involved. As we learned in the family meetings held every Wednesday family has to recover too by learning the tools to live with this disease. While they were in their NA meetings family members attended Families Anonymous meetings held in the same building. We owe McShin a debt of gratitude. Today my son celebrates 4 1/2 years of recovery. He has an awesome job, a girlfriend and owns a home. McShin's peer to peer recovery model with attention to advocacy is a fantastic formula for successful recovery!

My daughter went to another sober living facility. Had I known then what I know now she might still be alive. Nothing but good things to say anout McShin!! Caring people who have been there, done that and who can relate. No state or federal funding reduces the options the facility can offer

McShin is an authentic peer to peer RCO. Having been to other treatment facilities in the past, I can say that McShin is the only place that I found real sustained recovery. I learned about my disease and how to live a life that is fulfilling and joyful. The experience I had gave me support, connection to the recovery community and real hope in my life. I highly recommend McShin for anyone struggling with a substance use disorder.The greatest assets McShin has to offer over other centers in my opinion are hope and connection. Peer to peer communities offer the unique experience of witnessing the recovery process work in staff and participants. It is not the best suited place for individuals who struggle with sever mental health issues. It really caters more toward substance use disorders.

The participants learn recovery skills and how to live independently through working with their peers. The staff at McShin really care about helping people find recovery and about healing families. McShin has had an enormous positive impact on our family. - good value - caring staff - sustainable model - participants are able to move seenlessly to independent living - advocacy for changes to make it easier for addicts to successfully re-enter the community - so much need for services it can get disorganized when too busy

I really like the authentic peer to peer approach that McShin uses. The fact that almost everyone on staff is in recovery really made a big difference for me. I have been to traditional 28 day rehab programs before that had an entire staff not in recovery and I didn't find it helpful. Having walking, talking examples of people in recovery helped me grasp the whole concept of living clean. I will forever be grateful for McShin they took me in when I had nothing and played an integral role in my recovery. I don't know if I would still be clean without their guidance.Having people in recovery working there. The peer to peer recovery model. They need more staff. They are a non profit and need more funding.
