DPR was a great place to start my sober recovery. The staff is excellent and super empathetic to our situations. Chef Drew was AMAZING and a highlight of the house. She is a wonderful chef and in recovery herself. She is able to share her wisdom and experiences.
My first session was really good, peaceful and helpful. I just lost my Son coming up on 1 year and Stephanie was very compassionate and taught me some great coping skills. I wanted a Christian that could help me with my Faith and grief and bereavement. She is truly caring and I can't wait to go back in 2 weeks. Thank you for the wonderful scheduling staff that made everything easy and the constant communication means a lot.
