My experience really changed my life and helped me get back on the right track. I called it my Recovery, Discovery, Rebuilding, Retooling Retreat. It really covered a lot of ground in a brief period. They provide the environment and the professionals that allow you to take control and start that process for yourself. The aftercare has also been an amazing continuance. It has significantly improved my marriage and my life in general.
