Recovery

Recovery

We believe in liberation for those who have become slaves to their own habits and addictions. We also believe there is hope for those who feel powerless to overcome their own negative circumstances. We want to assist individuals in gaining life skills that will help them become independent, self-reliant, productive, and whole.
