Between the excellent staff, the targeted treatment, and the support from your peers, this place is amazing. Be patient, keep an open mind, do the work, and you’ll leave a different person.Michael BanksMichael Banks ★★★★★ Excellent experience for myself. Needed to find myself and I did. The staff was wonderful!! Would recommend to any firefighter who needs help.Nicholas JamiesonNicholas Jamieson ★★★★★ A facility that works solely with IAFF members with mental health and substance use issues. This place was a great facility to receive culturally competent treatment for people in the first responder field. They treat us professionals as professionals through most of the process. The intake is uncomfortable but after that the BHT’s, nursing, and clinicians work hard to make you feel at home while receiving treatment. The only complaints are the shower heads are absolutely horrendous and despite the facility knowing this for some time they refuse to correct the issue. But, if that is the largest complaint this place is doing great!Mark TarlowMark Tarlow ★★★★★ Amazing and effective program and staff.Darian PrestridgeDarian Prestridge ★★★★★ There's worse.Jacob HeithoffJacob Heithoff ★★★★★ Amazing and unique place that understands broken firefighters.Phil MatzkerPhil Matzker ★★★★★ Helped me get my life back and I was able to find myself.Kenny Hyden, Jr.Kenny Hyden, Jr. ★★★★★ Great place with wonderful and extremely helpful, caring, and talented staff!
