Searching for a recovery center often happens during one of the hardest moments in a person’s life, for individuals seeking help and for the families who love them. Online reviews can feel like a lifeline, offering insight when emotions are high and decisions feel urgent. At Starfish Recovery, we believe reviews matter. We also believe they deserve context, especially in a setting where healing, boundaries, and deep emotion intersect.

🎄🍪 Grateful for Sweet Acts of Kindness 🍪🎄

Today we were reminded that recovery is built not just through programs and services—but through people who show up with heart.

A huge thank you to Sara Jane, who took the time to bake and personally deliver homemade Christmas cookies to the staff of multiple organizations supporting people in recovery, including our team here at Starfish Recovery & Wellness 💙✨

This thoughtful gesture meant so much to our staff who work tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to support individuals and families every day. Small acts of kindness like this go a long way—and they remind us that we are not doing this work alone.

From all of us at Starfish, thank you for spreading warmth, joy, and holiday cheer throughout the recovery community. 🐚⭐️

🎄🦋 A heartfelt thank-you to the Dylan Lacy Foundation for Recovery! 🦋🎄

We are honored and deeply grateful for your generous donation of Thanksgiving meals, Christmas trees, and festive decorations for our residents at Starfish Recovery & Wellness.

The Dylan Lacy Foundation for Recovery was created in memory of Dylan Lacy, whose journey inspired so many in the recovery community. Through this foundation, Dylan’s legacy lives on — providing resources, scholarships, and hope for individuals ready to step into recovery.

At Starfish, our mission is to support whole-person healing — addressing the emotional, mental, social, physical, and educational needs of our residents through our “Starfish Method”.

The gift from the Dylan Lacy Foundation for Recovery aligns directly with that mission: these meals bring comfort and connection, the trees and decorations bring hope, celebration, and community—important parts of building a new life in recovery.

Thank you, Dylan Lacy Foundation for
Recovery, for choosing to walk alongside our residents as they rebuild, heal and thrive. Your generosity brings light into their journey—and embodies the spirit of support that we believe recovery truly is.

🌊☀️ Teamwork at the Jersey Shore! 🎢🍦
This past weekend, employees and families from Starfish Recovery & Wellness and StarCity Behavioral Health came together for a cross-company team building trip to Wildwood, NJ!
From relaxing on the beach to riding roller coasters at Morey’s Piers, it was an incredible opportunity to celebrate collaboration, recharge with our loved ones, and strengthen the bonds that make our teams so special. 💙
We’re grateful for the chance to bring together staff and families from both organizations in such a fun and memorable way. These moments remind us that when we support each other—at work and beyond—we grow stronger together.
📸 Enjoy a few snapshots from our time at the shore!
