Review of Tranquil Shores

I am a recovering addict with three years sober no...

I am a recovering addict with three years sober now! I was fortunate enough to find this magical place that restored my self esteem, taught me how to live by setting boundaries and to respect the boundaries of others, develop solid coping skills (because face it you can't live in a rehab facility forever and life does show up)and nurtured and loved me when I despised myself and my addictive behaviors. Tranquil Shores introduced me to a life of recovery that has led to a life three years later, more wonderful than any life I could have imagined for myself. They nurtured and loved me, until I could love and care for myself which in my case took all of the 90-days! When I arrived there I was living in a world of darkness and despair. When I left, for the time in my life, I was seeing color and the beauty in others. I had a lot of work to do, they guided me gently through the process. I will FOREVER be grateful to EVERY single person, from the moment I called for treatment (Jared and Bret) to my personal therapist (Lynn) and every other therapy group, AND the entire community staff on property (Kelly, Eva, Bonnie, Nick, Dan, Joe, Mike, Bryan and so many others) for showing me a new way to live. I would add that I explored many options for treatment and many places in which to embark on this journey. NO place had the offerings of Tranquil Shores. The 1:1 therapy alone, plus all the dynamic group therapy they offer, truly sets them apart from other rehab facilities. YOU WILL GET YOUR MONIES WORTH IF YOU PARTICIPATE AND KEEP AN OPEN MIND AND TRULY WANT ANOTHER LIFE. Donna Dillard, GRATEFUL former client.
