I was terrified to go to treatment but my whole life changed for the better from my first contact with ICFR. Everyone there is kind, supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable!
They saved my life & taught me a new way to live. The entire staff are nothing less than outstanding & loving.
I had a great experience. The staff was very nice and helpful, the classes were very educational on addiction and mental health. I have gotten multiple follow up calls to check in on my progress which I think shows how personal they are. It helped me a lot.
