“This was the nicest detox treatment center that I have been in. Hopefully I don’t come back but I would recommend for to someone else struggling with addiction. Everyone was really nice. Thank you!”

“I was terrified of coming here but the staff, food accommodations and groups were excellent and exceeded my expectations tenfold. I do believe this experience saved my life. Thank you!”

“The treatment was really great thing for me. So now on I can walk out these doors with my head held high.”

“I would like to sincerely thank you for all that you have done for me over the past few weeks. This is a debt that requires more than mere thanks or financial compensation. Being treated with dignity and not to be judged in any way is also very rewarding. I have had success in this program before. I hope that I may find that again. With all of my best I thank you for this.”

Substance Abuse is a significant problem in our community and nationally. CBHC believes there is hope and that recovery is possible and helped many individuals and families last year in moving towards their goal of sobriety and leading more productive, rewarding lives.
