  • "I brought our son there in desperation with the fear that his addiction would end his young life. Under their leadership, he is approaching a year of sobriety, developed healthy coping mechanisms, progressed with an academic program, and is considering his plans for the future. I am immensely and eternally proud and grateful that my son now has a future."
