One Decision Can Change A Life

Hear the voices of men whose lives have been transformed through the recovery journey here at 2ND Chance Recovery, a rehab home dedicated to supporting those on their path to a clean and sober life.

2ND Chance has been exactly this for me. I had just finished treatment at another rehab in Kentucky, but jobs were limited, and I was unclear about what my future held. I then made the call to Joey at 2ND Chance Recovery, and he welcomed me with open arms, providing me with a place to live and getting me a fantastic job on my second day at his recovery center. Joey has not only been a motivating influence but a positive one in my life; my mother calls him my guardian angel, and I call him an inspiration and great leader. I’m proud to now call this rehab home. -Scott Davis

2ND Chance Recovery has been a beacon of hope for me; it has given me the chance to continue my journey to recovery. This sober living environment has provided me with the necessary skills to navigate life and become an upstanding member of society. The meetings, brotherhood, and camaraderie have instilled in me a hopeful understanding that I need to push forward in this thing we call recovery. It has equipped me with crucial life skills to reintegrate into society as a clean and sober person. This place has quite literally saved my life. - Anthony Allison 

2ND Chance Recovery is hands down the truth, no question about it. If it weren't for Joey and my brothers in recovery at 2ND Chance, I honestly do not know where I'd be in life. Truth be told, 2ND Chance saved my life and gave me just that—a 2ND chance. THANK YOU for the love! THANK YOU for saving my life! Thank you for everything. Love you! - Brian Floyd

As a peer recovery specialist, Joey Burris is truly devoted to helping others in recovery from substance dependence or anyone who crosses his path. He goes to great lengths to ensure everyone, including myself, receives what they need using his resources. I have personally witnessed him sacrifice for others to receive help. Where others fall short, Mr. Burris steps in and gives back selflessly. If it weren't for him not giving up on me, I wouldn't be alive today. When I arrived at 2ND Chance Recovery, I was lost, but now I feel more alive than ever and have a bright outlook on the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love you, bro. In recovery, you lead by example. - Tim Dorris 

Jerry's Testimony for 2ND Chance Recovery Program: 

2ND Chance is by far one of the greatest programs I have participated in. I have been shown nothing but humility, guidance, wisdom, kindness, and genuine love from the founder of 2ND Chance, Mr. Joey Burris aka the Coach. 2ND Chance Recovery truly gives individuals more than a second chance at getting their lives right, especially with God's help. The program assisted me by helping me obtain my I.D. and a Social Security Card, as well as employment and clothing, all within just days of my release from Coffee County Jail. This rehab home provides all the tools necessary for success while offering the care and attention needed to move forward. I highly recommend anyone to reach out to 2ND Chance Recovery because it is a Godsend. - Jerry Coleman 

After being released from jail, I was going to a homeless shelter. I lacked contact with family or friends and had no clothes, money, transportation, or job. 2ND Chance Recovery equipped me with everything needed to get back on track with my life. I was given a comfortable bed, nutritious food, clothing, and most importantly, a home filled with love and support. Mr. Burris provided transportation to and from mental health services, and I was able to acquire my driver's license and Social Security card. The care and concern I received made me feel valued. I also have the opportunity to attend church on Sundays and AA meetings multiple times a week. I cannot express how lost I would have been without 2ND Chance—it is truly a blessing for me. - Maurice Fitzgerald
