It is a beautiful place. The staff is wonderful. The tech are very attentive. Ashley and Shawn are my favorite also big Mike. The person who got into this place is the best (ricky) is so down to earth 🌍. He feels very strongly about getting and keeping people sober ! The owner, Tom and Bianca are just as wonderful if not more. The program director I've known for almost a year now and she is stern but wonderful.
