This place is awesome! The staff is great! They’re caring, compassionate, and empathetic. They treat each resident individually to meet each of their needs. 24 hr nursing staff helps with each residents detox needs. They also help with after care plans and placement back into the community. Peers also are very supportive to eachother, I highly recommend live free recovery to anyone looking for help with addiction.
