“I have been to other treatment centers and was never successful in maintaining sobriety. Thank you so much to Soba for helping me get my life back on track. I look forward to my future!”
“The entire staff of SOBA is there for you…and give you the resources and strength to stay well. They showed me that there’s nothing wrong with asking for help and carried me when I didn’t have the strength or will to stand on my own.”
“I want to say thank you to everyone at SOBA. I came to them totally broken. The staff there helped me get my mental health straightened out all while getting me off any and all drugs for the 1st time in 24 years.”
