I have interacted with A Positive Alternative many times over the years as a mental health counselor. I have experienced consistent high quality treatment and referrals for a wide variety of substance use problems and behavioral compulsions for many clients. I highly recommend A Positive Alternative and am grateful for the care and resources they provide.

Okay so the staff are amazing everyone was genuinely caring but if you are having a mental health crisis this is not the place. it's basically jail they will search you take your phone and it's very strict they need more funding I was there because I was suicidal and it made me feel more suicidal. The staff we to busy to offer mental health support but they tried and for that I thank you but sitting in voluntary jail is not conducive to a healthy mental state.
