I think the therapists here and the clinicians are absolutely amazing; they really worked with me and supported me through the entire process.
My needs were definitely met during my time here. The intimate atmosphere and the amount of time spent with individual therapist greatly helped during my stay. Jana could not have been a better fit for me and helped me to realize realistic goals for myself.
It was a very wonderful, comfortable and luxurious treatment center. The food and grounds are beautiful. I loved my groups and the AA meetings and the freedom we also got. I was blown away by my experience. Thank You PROMISES!!!!!!
