The Recovery Center at Manning Regional Healthcare Center 1550 West 6th Street, Manning, IA 51455

"I have been battling addiction my whole life, mostly out of denial, and not willing to do the work to fix my defective thinking, nor honestly work the program for myself. In the past year, a lot has transpired, and I do not shift blame, I take ownership of my flaws, and faults, and responsibility for my share of what happened. However, for the past year, since my wife cheated, on me, and I lost my kids to temporary placement, I lost all hope, all will, pure anedonia, I was homeless for almost a year, I even came to the point of thinking suicide was the answer....however, my minister, and my family, got me to look past myself in my grief and turmoil, and think about my kids, and I requested a drug eval., And treatment.... Granted I didn't complete the full 28 days to graduate, I will say that the two weeks I was there were powerful, I had never cried so much, nor felt so alive, at the same time. The group, and counselors at Manning are something special, and will remain in my heart forever...I am 50 days clean and sober, have a full time job, and just signed a one year lease for my own house... I just wanted to share my experience, because I know without the staff, my brothers and sisters in group, and the power within that hallway, I would still be lost....THANK YOU EVERYONE AT MANNING RECOVERY CENTER, I LOVE YOU ALL... I WILL MAKE IT, ONE DAY AT A TIME! SINCERELY, JUSTIN CLARK"

"This place changed my life. I've been sober for over a year. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is so much better than 12 step and i loved the patient to staff ratio. Unlike rosencrance in Sioux city they actually cared for me and they based treatment on science not just 12 step cliches."

"Absolutely horrible. I told them I was IV using, and they gave me a four week wait time when they had more than enough room for me to come in all because I knew someone in the program. It's small-town Iowa, and there are very few options for treatment centers - of course people are going to know other people there. I needed help, and they forced me to stay on the streets knowing I was desperate to get in. I will never think they truly care about helping people. Go to Avera Addiction Care Center! They are amazing!!"

"I'm very grateful to this treatment center for the compassion and wonderful care they showed my sister. The staff is kind, caring and treat everyone as an individual. The program was powerful and left my sister feeling hopeful for her life of sobriety. Thank you Manning Recovery Team!"

"I spent 30 days in this facility. The people are amazing. The food was exceptional. The level of care unmatched. I went in on my own, I had been on prescription pain meds for 10 years. I received the knowledge and support I needed to get better, and have been clean for 18 months. I was hoping to get pharmaceutical help to withdraw easily, but they don't do that there. It was the most difficult thing that I've ever been through....but also the best thing, besides Jesus, that I've ever done in my life!"
