We can’t say enough about the professionalism and expert care our daughter received at The Willows. For any family dealing with the terrifying circumstances of addiction and mental illness of a loved one, there is hope at The Willows. Not only was our daughter treated with individualized expert care, but our family was supported through the most difficult time with their skillfully delivered services.

I can’t imagine why this has bad reviews…the willows was loving, inclusive, personalized, and caring. the staff want to form bonds with you. the house is comfortable and makes it easy to socialize and make friends. my strongest bonds have been made here. Only improvement would be racial diversity among the staff. Loved it here.

The willows will forever hold a special place in my heart. When I first got to the willows I was ready to leave (as most are because it is new and we are away from everything we are used to.) I tried to leave the first week, but I was challenged not to quit on myself, ( something that had been way to common in my life, quitting.) But nonetheless I stayed. I didn’t quit. In fact it turned out to be the best decision and thing that I could have ever done. The willows, in a lot of ways, saved me. It is a dual diagnosis treatment center. Through the help of the staff and therapist I was able to make

I was a client at The Willows in 2017 and came back to work in 2018.
My experience as both a client and a staff member has been life changing. The women that come through this program are the strongest I’ve ever met and they continue to inspire me everyday.

I went to The Willows living on sheer survival mode. I was exhausted and at wits end with how my life was going. Trauma, negative coping skills and a lack of hope brought me to The Willows. The ability to take a deep breath, take things slower and believe my truth is what I left with. I am eternally grateful The Willows is apart of my journey.

I can not recommend the Willows enough if you or a loved one is in need of help. I came to the Willows broken, lost, & without faith. Their extensive program provided me with the hope that I can recover. The dedicated staff & therapists were there to help me every step of the way. The Willows program taught me how to live a life clean, sober, & unafraid to do so. I believe this place gave me the courage to live the life I’ve always wanted.

I could not recommend The Willows enough to any person needing or seeking treatment. I originally sought treatment because my life was falling apart and I was scared and wanted to figure out how to fix it because I didn’t know how. In the process of my stay I learned how to start rebuilding my life, but more importantly I learned how to live. And I intentionally don’t say that I learned ‘how to live again”. I learned how to live truly for the first time. The Willows not only saved my life, it gave me a life.
