Review from Rehabs.com

Hickey House is an exceptional program for those who are serious about combating their addiction. I have been in other treatment places and Hickey House has excceded my expectations by far. Some staff members in particular and the main staff are outstanding. All are well educated and that goes a long way. Each has dealt with their own recovery and GET what addiction is. I am an alcoholic and I have found peace, and sobriety at Hickey House. The program in my opinion is for people who are READY for a change. All those who enter in to the program are given the tools for success. Sometimes people come and stay for a short time and think they know best. After returning to addictive addiction and realizing they DO need help, they are usually welcomed back. The environment is really like a sober college dorm. The houses are in good condition and each room has its OWN AC unit, GREAT for summer. I would highly recommend Hickey House to any male who needs to regain control of his life. Recovery starts at Hickey House A+++

Review from Rehabs.com

I arrived at the Hickey House on 12-21-2010 and have been Sober ever since. I had a twenty plus year long active alcohol and drug addiction. The Hickey House allotted me to do my recovery first yet also maintain balance and freedom by choice to be out in the real world. The most effective thing I learned is to live program after leaving facility.

Review from Rehabs.com

When I attended the hickey house it only mattered if you had enough money to pay rent. Actual recovery wasn't that important. One of the staff members allowed people to stay just because he liked them or wanted to give them another change. This isn't how you keep a healthy recovery environment.
