Kyle

“When I moved into Safe Place at the end of 2015, I was what people in recovery would call an alcoholic of the hopeless variety. Alcohol had influence over every decision and action in my life.  The staff here and the people I have met in the recovery community have given me the tools to rebuild my life.”

Steve O

“I have struggled with alcoholism and addiction since I was 14 years old. That’s an almost 40 year history of bad choices due largely to drinking and using drugs. I have been clean/sober for 2 years now and have no doubt that my stay at Safe Place was largely responsible for this miraculous change in my life.”

“My son was living the hopeless and scary existence of an alcoholic. He had used up all his options with the family and had lost his mother to alcohol abuse. Thank God the Safe Place was available to show him the tools and support he needed.”
