Promises saved my life. As someone coming in with severe addiction and suicide being what seemed to be my only option, this place was absolutely the LIGHT I needed! My doctor was first rate with dual diagnosis. He took me away from my daily narcotic regime (which at first I hated him for) and put me on a new one that addressed all my issues, but didn't have the propensity for abuse.
My therapist (Debbie) was the perfect combination of blunt realism and empowering positivity. The groups were powerful and eye opening. The fostering of "getting to the root of the illness/ addiction" so I could [understand] appropriate my feelings.... was (in MANY years of therapy) something no one had ever thought important for me to [recognize] learn.
Promises is an all encompassing program. We attended [in] facility meetings, as well as a variety around town. The weekend outings were therapeutic, esteem building and gave me a chance to realize I could
(a) HAVE FUN
(b) ACHIEVE A NATURAL (adrenaline rush) . HIGH
(c) BE PART OF A TEAM (healthy
. relationships with others)
(d) START TO TRUST (myself and others)

As for the others... who had less than stellar reviews, all I can conclude is that maybe they weren't ready to do ANYTHING IT TOOK ( trust tyre process by turning their OWN will over even though they didn't like some of the requirements) to get clean.
....... oh they DID get one thing right though. The food is PHENOMENAL
SHOUT OUT TO CARLOS and LEMON MIKE
Give this place a chance (I would have said SHOT.. but it seemed inappropriate )!
