My name is April Cook,and I have been here at Belmont Gardens for 8 months.I can't begin to describe my experience here. But I'm gonna try. This is my second go round here so I'm extremely grateful for a second chance to get it right. Anyway,the reason I came back here was because the staff and Dr Edney really offered to help me and made me feel like I mattered. I have been to several treatment centers before,but I never felt like I belonged like I have here. I'm in sober living now and I even get to be involved with a work study program that pays for my room and board. They work with you because they want you to succeed. There are days when it's not easy,but I know I can go and talk to any of the staff and they always help me through whatever I'm going through. I have never made it this far in recovery and I'm just so grateful for Belmont.
