If you want help this is the place to go . I was the first one here when they opened . And I have to say it felt like a home not like a rehab place. They treat you like a Person not like a patient. Three great meals a day and activities to keep you busy. They are here to help you realize that you are a person and you can overcome whatever is holding you down. And as for the staff they were on point very help full . I felt that they weren't here just to work but to help and support. Now that lm leaving I realize that everything that they taught me is to continue my wellness in my life to come. So I say thank-you to everyone at the wave.
