Great place, nice people. I had a wonderful time up there.
The drug and alcohol rehab was the best decision I ever made for my recovery. The staff was supportive, understanding, and helped me every step of the way. The facilities were comfortable and provided a safe environment for my journey to sobriety. I’m now over a year sober and couldn’t be happier.
