The staff are professional and authoritarian but this is much required; however they are kind and supportive at all times. I have gained skills for my recovery that will help me when I’m in meetings and these tools will aid me through life. We are here for serious reasons but the bonds we build with other peers are enjoyable and helpful for recovery.

My personal experience is mostly 5 stars. The only change I would make is to be able to share my life story in front of everyone rather than just my own group.

I can’t speak highly enough in regard to SL, the experience has started a new life for me and I will always appreciate what this place has done. My therapist was Kat and it’s the only therapist that I think I would ,listen too and ever will. This is my third rehab and the first one I have taken seriously and given 100%! This place works in my opinion!
