Testimonial
“I think treatment is very useful and effective to those that are willing to change, and wanting to change their lifestyle from negative to positive. I’ve gotten a lot out of treatment here; it’s made me realize how much better life is without drugs and alcohol. It made me become a better man emotionally and physically; made me a better father to my child; and helped me to learn how to enjoy life.”
