An overall great facility with a great 12 step program.
Do some research. You get what you pay for. Over crowded and not enough personal attention for each client.

Good inpatient and outpatient counselors. However, it was hard to get appointments.They need more counselors.

Recovery unfolds in a setting which is overwhelmingly positive, respectful, and safe.
- Marijuana/Marijuana Addiction
Marijuana is the name for the drug harvested from the leaves, flowers and stems of the hemp plant. When smoked the drug produces a mild euphoria, a distortion of time and the sharpening of some senses. While there are over 400 chemicals in marijuana with little known of their combined effects on the body, it is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) that produces the sought after high. Marijuana grown and sold today is much more potent than that produced in the 1960’s.
