They gave me hope, strength and belief in myself and taught me a totally different outlook on life that just works at keeping me sober(and happy), even on the “bad” days … They really take the time to listen to you and it’s a smaller facility, so you get plenty of one on one care … Highly recommend this to anyone, especially if traditional rehabs haven’t worked out for you.”
