This place saved my life. The team that helped me get in was very helpful and showed that they really care. They made the detoxing portion 10x easier to deal with than trying cold turkey. The programming has an excellent balance of class and activities. I learned so much there. Just the ability to cope with life. They've set me up for success with a boat load of tools and the team they have to support your recovery is amazing. Thanks journeypure
