Debby Green and The Play Group are truly AMAZING! Debby's ability to be able to create a fun and…read moresafe environment for our children to be able to express themselves openly is outstanding. My daughter has been having some social issues, and I wasn't quite sure of what to do. We were also planning on moving out of state which amplified the issues. I heard about The Play Group through a friend, and I decided to meet with Debby to see if she thought she could help us. It was the best decision I have ever made! It was amazing how quickly my daughter started opening up and became social with others. We were able to move, get my daughter in school and she is already making new friends. Thank you, Debby, for giving us this incredible gift! I don't know how to thank you enough. I highly recommend The Play Group!

This place saved my life. I can't say enough wonderful things about it. Safe Haven has all the…read moreright ingredients for success in recovery. The group facilitators are spectacular. I actually looked forward to going to group every day; in the past at other treatment facilities I dreaded "group", because I really was over it, having relapsed several times in the past several years and doing hundreds of groups. I sat there during my first day at Safe Haven (after the detox period) and thought, " I can't believe I'm having to do ' group' again." But it was different here. It was special. I can honestly say it was a pleasure and a privileged to attend group, I woke up every morning excited to see what I was gonna learn that day. That has never happened before. I woke up hopeful, excited about life in recovery, and grateful. The Chef makes delicious food that seems like it came from the finest restaurants; and I had to see for myself that he actually makes it! The doctors we see are very knowledgeable and excellent; They know what's best for you based on the results from blood tests and by the history and f what you tell them. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are heavenly. Real heaven. The house itself is huge with a very lush tropical backyard. The owners of this beautiful place are superb. I have never seen anything like it. I felt so accepted, so welcome, so safe. Miss Lucy is heaven sent. She has helped so many people get sober and reclaim their lives... including me! She gives one-on-one personal attention to clients. She is very straight forward and makes you feel like you're the most important person in the world. She and her daughter go waaaay beyond the extra mile to meet your personal individual needs; She's been doing this for a lot of years and has a seeming limitless supply of wisdom that she shares if you want it. I feel SO blessed and grateful I was directed to Safe Haven by a friend.... Oh also the therapist Gary is a miracle worker, straight up. He has helped me heal from some traumas that were blocking my emotional well being; he has seriously impacted my life in the most beautiful way. I have learned SO much here at Safe Haven, not just knowledge (which is so valuable and directly relevant to life) but how to live life on life terms, restoring my sanity, my true genuine self, which I now know (after my stay here) is a pretty remarkable woman. There are so many gifts here.... PLEASE come if you are hurting. They will embrace you and make it possible to begin to heal and thrive.

This center has top-notch care that you won't be able to find anywhere else. Staying in a house as opposed to a facility, makes clients feel nurtured and comfortable. Groups are also smaller, which allows for more exposure time and friendships formed. The two houses can only hold 6 patients at a time each. The patients build relationship and trust with those around them and have 24/7 support. This center offers a variety of modalities and activities to heal and grow. Patients also spend more time here seeing a 1 on 1 therapist than other sites. Plus the food is amazing!!
