i graduated from this facility 10 yrs ago and I have not been in trouble or jail since i left there. i am 55 yrs old now so my entire life as early as 13 yrs old was drinking, smoking (weed) and fighting. At 18 I went to N.U. in Boston in criminal justice and graduated with a B.S. But the drinking and the fighting continued so I became a golden glove boxer. At 21 I joined the air force as a K9 police officer and spent 20 yrs overseas. but working the 11:00 to 07:00 shift so I can fight the suspects that resisted arrest. At 41 20 yrs in the air force I could not get used to being a normal civilian. So I did what I did best, drinking, smoking weed, and fighting. I went to 7 stays in many different jails and 5 halfway houses until I went to this facility. since its coed I was on my best behaivor. once i graduated I applied for ssdi and with my military injuries. They granted it to me and I am now on ssdi for the last 5 yrs thanks to this facility for getting my military background injuries and my dd214. If you have problems weather drugs, alcohol, ptsd, unable to fit in, jail, institutions, then check out this facility. I still stay in contact with my sponser there cz he too was former military. The director and her staff are second to none! If you smoke ciggeretts they test for nicotine and you will be kicked out cz nicotine is a drug just fyi. Good luck and God Bless. read more
