Wonderful, life changing program. Best staff and care I've received, EVER. Love it, will miss it. Looking forward to doing maintenance groups and potentially meeting with a therapist weekly. Made some great, ... friends here and feel like this place has given me my life back. Everyone should get a Christmas bonus for sure.
