Comments from participants
"Nothing compares to getting the support and tools I need for a happy (awesome) and sober life. I don't know if I can do it without this program. Thank you for my life."

"I can honestly say that the support from the staff and from the women that I meet make sobriety fun for me, something that I really want - not something that I have to do for the courts, or because I have a baby."

"The Growing Together program is a turning point in my life and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be involved. Hopefully, more women will get to have the same opportunity."

"The acupuncture and one-to-one therapy are crucial for managing cravings and identifying solutions. The behavioral therapy is also hugely beneficial. This program is vital to my sobriety.
