Your Recovery Is Our Mission

daniel rossdaniel ross ★★★★★ This place is life changing if you let it be. There is a lot of information to help you acknowledge, understand and process the emotional damage our job can cause. You are surrounded by your fellow brothers and sisters who are there to heal with you. If you go here for a vacation or to hide out from trouble, you will be disappointed. It’s not a spa. You’ll have to do work and if you are willing the staff will be there the whole time to support your efforts.John BeauchampJohn Beauchamp ★★★★★ The COE gave me the tools, strategies and tactics to deal with anything that comes my way and to enjoy the rest of my life.Brian GliddenBrian Glidden ★★★★★ Great place, literally life changingMatthew MurphyMatthew Murphy ★★★★★ Great facility and staff who care about your recovery!

KevinKevin ★★★★★ Truly gave me my life backManuel IllescasManuel Illescas ★★★★★ In the COE when you come in you are greeted by your brothers. Once they have welcomed you, you are greeted by the most incredible staff putt together by Doctors and people who truly care for their fireman. Their was not a day where I was in need of anything. They helped through every problem I had. Provided me with tools for the moment and for after I went home.Thank you all for everything you do.Steven StaleySteven Staley ★★★★★ Coming to the COE was a tough decision to make for myself. I was so used to helping others, I forgot to help myself. I started drowning. Once I got to the COE, I knew I made the right choice. EVERYONE there truly cares for our mental and physical health. From the Clinicians to the Kitchen staff, they all care. Everyone that is a resident there is welcomed by the other residents upon arrival. The true Brotherhood of the fire service is alive and well here. The administrator, Marc, is a true leader from the front. He goes out of his way to see everyone every day and fights for us when needed. Dr. Abby genuinely cares for our well being. Some people call the COE a bubble. I consider it a cocoon. We go in broken and ugly, but come out beautiful and full of life! If you are an IAFF FF, active or retired, and you are battling with PTSD, suicidal thoughts, anger, withdrawal, alcohol, substance abuse, or anything else, I cannot beg you enough to seek out help. Call the Center, GET HELP!!! You are worthy of it and you DESERVE to forgive yourself and find inner peace! God Bless You!Anthony LangAnthony Lang ★★★★★ Center of excellence is a great facility that caters to brothers & sisters of the IAFF that share a common thread dealing with addiction, PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc.Brandon TroiaBrandon Troia ★★★★★ The IAFF Center of Excellence is an amazing place.
