WHAT ALUMNI SAY
Seventeen alumni reviews submitted to Best-rehabs.com to date indicated mostly positive reactions, with alumni praising Christian-based programming and several commenting that Providence saved their lives. “The staff are amazing and truly care about the women who come here to find recovery and build a stronger relationship with God,” C.W. wrote. “This place was truly God sent! It has changed my life completely…You will not regret it!” wrote Elizabeth.
Negative reviews, however, indicated a lack of organization and services offered. “You usually get what you pay for, and this rehab is no different,” wrote alum S.M.H. “If, however, you’re looking for comfort, integrity, healing, recovery, help, and half a chance to get it right then this place is not for you.” R.T. added: “This program does not deliver as promised. It looks nice with a good website. There are no movie nights, weekend shoppoing, etc. There is hardly any Bible study, no AA.”
The facility responded to these complaints, writing: “We have made many positive changes to our program. These changes include but are not limited to: a more consistent and structured schedule, wider variety of classes and groups, and increased enforcement of rules/guidelines.”
On Yelp, two alumni gave five-star ratings. Alum Nicole wrote: “The staff and volunteers treat the clients like family with love and kindness.” Kylee echoed praise for staff, adding: “Providence saved my life.

WHAT STAFF SAY
