The food is great too, BIG LOVE.”

I learned so much about addiction and about myself, that’s given me the tools to handle my problem on the outside world.
They made me believe in myself and taught me to put myself FIRST.
I have battled cocaine addiction for over 6 years, I wish I found this place sooner.
I felt a family member and loved by all in Nova.
