Testimonials
"By the time I was in my late twenties I was using drugs on a daily basis. My wife left with our daughters and I was all alone, depressed and without hope. I knew I needed help and a friend told me about Alcare Place. I stayed at Alcare for one year and I participated in all of their daily recovery groups and programs. My obsession to use drugs subsided and I learned how to live life on life's terms. Their programs saved my life. I have reunited with my family and I am becoming the loving, caring and responsible husband and father that I always wanted to be."
