The people at Turnbridge really set me up with the opportunity to live a sober life and took me away from my old lifestyle for long enough to focus on my future. My time there flew by and it was time really well spent. I got back into things that I took pride in before drinking. I started working out again, playing the guitar, and just hanging out and having fun sober. When I got out, I felt like I had this new life in place and they helped me achieve this with a smooth transition back into society. I had support from the whole community. I think the biggest benefit of the length of the program is how long you’re away from the substances to find new hobbies and healthy habits. It feels like I have something to hold onto and don’t want to give it away. I'm super grateful and glad to have the opportunity to leave this review and share my experience.
This program saved my life and my sons life! I am forever grateful!!
