Testimonial
I’m grateful to the entire staff for all their help and support. I was able to come home to my family as the man, husband and father I see myself being. 45 days of treatment has allowed me a second chance at life. There’s no going back to that old life for me. I’m exactly where I need to be and I have Avenues to thank for helping me to get here!!!

I've attended this program twice now and one thing I've noticed was I needed to do something different this time and really focus on my healing and recovery vs anyone else's journey. This place offered me the space to do that. and I'm grateful for Avenues. I was able to shift my focus and I learned a lot about myself in the process.
