Before checking out any other program, I suggest you look into McShin first. I know every program works differently for everyone, but personally McShin has surpassed my expectations. Very caring and strong community. Encourages you to build your own network in recovery. While the groups are generally structured in during their Intensive program, I still found benefit from them while in the Sober Living program before I found employment. They focus on critical aspects outside of general addiction education, such as the mind, body, communication, and so on. Their programs garner an environment where one can go about their individual journeys while also having a safe and comfortable home, free from any substances. The center also hosts many meetings for various pathways including NA, AA, SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma, and more. I have never had a problem with the staff. Always very helpful and kind. Same goes for the house leaders they appoint to their recovery residences. read more
