Bella Monte is a special place where you heal with the help of caring and highly trained professionals. The staff is remarkable - their empathy and kindness coupled with an array of amazing therapeutic protocol and combined with the resort-like ambience of the facility all add to create a special (almost magical) refuge for the client suffering from substance abuse. I cannot recommend Bella Monte more highly. I was on the precipice and the Bella Monte staff healed me with therapeutic tools and classes, amazing healthcare and diet options, and the fount of ever flowing kindness and empathy. I feel so lucky I choose Bella Monte - again, I cannot recommend it enough.
