Marlana Smartt
"When I started the recovery process I was broken and miserable but through a lot of hard work and active participation I have learned a new way to live...clean. I have come to believe that no addict seeking recovery need ever die and that we can only keep what we have by giving it away."
Wesley Byrge
"I have been in and out of recovery for years; relapse, despair, and hope are all parts of my story. I am now dedicated to helping individuals who suffer from this disease find a new way to live and I believe it is vital to make recovery a way of life. Every effort is made to ensure each addict walking through the door has the resources they need to help them succeed."
