Alumni and family

In their words

We have been in business for over 10 years, and we do good work. Our care goes well above the standards of insurance companies, state boards, and our competitors. We do not cut corners, and we do what is right for each person — no matter what.

The stories on this page were shared by alumni of the treatment programs, and by their family members. Their quotes appear exactly as they gave them.

My therapist really got down to the core of what my problem is. She’s given me tools to walk out that door today and be a sober man, and to stay a sober man.

I have the tools that Ambrosia gave me. I have the capability of sitting through the discomfort and knowing it’s going to get better.

Michael Wasserman

My advice to you is not to hesitate. You don’t have to be this person anymore.

Paschal Rigby

I had to make it on my own and that’s the best thing my family has ever done for me.
