  • Very personal and family oriented. Spirituality is high on the list as well. I owe 5 years of sobriety to God first and Eternal Awakenings second. I don't think I could have gotten clean at an other facility. They treat you like you are human, give you freedom and the rest is on you. You will get back exponentially what you put into this program.

  • Spirituality is a blessing. The piano, exercise and other activities provided are a blessing. Those who are leaders there are a blessing. The family atmosphere is a blessing. Not much in routine. I was there for 4 moths. I was treated with respect. They do have a psychiatrist and internist who can help with mental problems. They also refer to the Bible and know that Jesus saves.
