This place changed my life I am so blessed to have been a client there they taught me how to love myself and others I feel human again

This place is the only sense of consistency Ive had over the years. They saved my life.

Feels like home. Very welcoming to new comers.

When I needed somewhere to go, first stop recovery gave me a chance.... I was still fighting the process... After 20 years of bouncing in and out I finally was able to sit still and do something just a little bit different... First stop recovery has played a huge part in my journey and Im forever grateful for what they have done for me... God willing in January I will celebrating 2 years sober....

Still learning thanks everyone

This place has become home for me and the people are like family. Its a tough program that isnt for everyone, but if you can stick it out its well worth it. They have the resources to help you get your life back in order.

Only Richard Johnson Gets to Recover. Everyone else doesnt matter.

Sound and efficient

I visited First Stop Recovery to research a paper I am writing for my bachelors in nursing program on substance abuse. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They made me feel so welcome and answered all of my questions. I was pleasantly surprised to learn the statistical significance of the work they are doing to rehabilitate those in the community who are suffering from this horrible disease of addiction. They are all amazing people. Thank you for everything you do for our community!! ❤️

Since I have been here it has been six months.I started GED classes and culinary art classes. This is all due to the First Stop Recovery. T

Corruption. L&I should shut this place down

Just as i was going to call it quits i found the first stop .. I was welcomed with open arms and smiles .. Frank atkins (program director) gave me a tour of the facility it is a very structured recovery setting... I would recomend anyone who wants complete abstinent recovery to check in ..

This is an awesome place.. it helped save my life

First stop saved my life almost six months ago. I have made more than friends here i have family! Love yall!!!!

A learning experience of what not to be and how not to treat others and if you can survive the far u can make it in the real workd

This place is great for our community. They help homeless, alcoholic, drug addicted people get a second chance in life. They have a training program that helps people learn how to make pizza and gain jobs. Turn helpless and homeless into productive members of society. Thank you First Stop for your contribution to our community!

The First Stop Recovery is a blessing to myself and many other people. We are all family here. They are dedicated to helping any and everyone.

I have hired guys from Last Stop when I needed paint jobs, yard cleaning, power washing etc. I am a senior citizen. The guys I hired from Last Stop were very helpful and kind. Chris M is very good guy and finds right people for the jobs.

Definitely a place to remember and get sober if youre willing to surrender from drinking and drugging

First Stop is more than recovery... Its a home and a family for the broken and hopeless. There is something about living in the middle of a war zone and getting sober. You want soft and kushy, buy a pillow. If you want recovery and a new way of life, come to The Stop, it might save your life.

First Stop Recovery takes people with no money. This is a great program. Helping others is theyre main purpose. They help people gain hope. We are all family. Thank you TraderJoes and Drexel University for all the time and food you have donated. Thank you First Stop Recovery!

This orginization is truly making a difference in the kensington area. There are great meetings held here all through out each day and so many amazing great people in recovery who are always available to help anyone at anytime.

No. Residents are allowed to interrupt others who are sharing during AA meetings. RIP off and dangerous with the jacked up electricity. Trashy people.

First Stop is a place that saves lives Im so grateful for this place I was born abd raised in Kensington so the lifestyle was always around me I was addicted for 22 years and became a girl of the streets. Do to the type of insurance I had and the choice of drugs I did i could getting funding no where.. First stop open there doors to me and accept me with open arms and love that i need as of today due to First Stop I am sober I am employed they help me with housing and reunited with my children.. If it wasnt for these doors being open I might have been dead and for this Im truly grateful

I came in the doors of the First Stop Recovery Program that was almost 3 years ago and i got the help i needed when i was accepted into the program and i was welcomed with open arms the things i have acheived and the man i iam today is all because of the help i got from the program its a hard battle out here with people suffering from addiction and we the First Stop in wright here in the belly of the beast helping people to get back to there lives showing them how to recovery by leading by example and showing them we care by supporting them all the way alotof people get us confused as being a homeless shelting because we take people in with no money,no id,and no insaurance but we are a program of caring people never forgetting were we cam from something is working in this program like i said i was broken i couldnt get a day clean but when i came in this program something changed and it has been like that going on 3 years now this place saved my life and many others too the doors are always open a d the meetings are always running everyday.

Thanks for helping our community.

This is the first place I learned that there is another way of life. That recovery is possible.

FSR is a big family brings people in recovery together. It has started 2016 after property sold by the last stop owner Eddie Z who told he is moving to Camden. The place has been serving to people in sobriety close to two decades. I came to picture with promise if we can make it better.FSR became a nonprofit entity changing name to FSR achieving a bronze status in guidestar. Recently, we have been attracting people with various backgrounds who are willing to help. I m proud to be part of the solution.

This place helped me greatly. Thanks to Bonnie Tony and Frank I do not know where I would have been without this program.

Awesome environment to establish a foundation in recovery by virtue of spiritual principles☺

This has gone in a different direction since I initially wrote my review. I felt I had to change it.

This place saved my life

No money, no ID, no insurance... no worries. Come in join the family! Do not like what you get no strings attached leave anytime.

Place is home to many!!!!
