Staff and program met my expectations. I got a sense of self and confidence that I can stay sober. I felt treated like and individual and not a random person, the staff cared about what mattered to me. I thank the staff for everything they did for me and I would recommend this program to anyone.

David’s groups are so helpful on my road to my recovery, and Tamisha’s counseling has been a big part in my recovery as well. DFC has been a great experience and has helped me to stay sober.

I’ve been to 5 different programs,and this is the one that changed my life. I have to thank Clarissa as my main counselor, Tamisha as my Grandmafiosa, My sponsor Carol, Therapist Jennifer and Joe. All the staff. I intent to continue my AA program for the rest of my life. Everyone has noticed a huge change in me. My neighbor, friends, loved ones all said positive things about me. I want to thank God for guiding me and showing me humility. I never had that before. Maybe Joe will let me volunteer one day. But I think he wants me to have more time

Design for change is absolutely one of the best treatment centers in the country. Joe Hunter the owner takes recovery personal. He put his heart and soul into this business and saved a lot of lives. 16 years ago I was his very first client and I’m able to say the man save my life.!!

I am so beyond thankful I found this place. I've tried a few rehab locations before this and none of them were as AA program focused as this one is. I want to stay here as long as I can because I feel like I'm growing every day with the counseling the group sessions I'm just being comfortable with those people who are here. I would highly recommend this place to anybody who is struggling with alcoholism or drug abuse. They are focused on taking care of us and helping us to learn where we did wrong. I have hope today because of this program. Joe is the most amazing human being giving back to those

I’m thankful beyond measure for this place. I’ve been given all the support from staff and alumni I could ask for. In my previous attempts at treatment I was missing something. I found it here. The 12 step program here has me looking forward to a life in recovery. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable in all aspects of recovery. I have met new friends who share a story very similar to mine that I will remain friends with for life. I can say whole hearted that this place is saving my life. I will stay on the path to recovery NO MATTER WHAT!

Words can not express my gratitude and love for this treatment center. All staff, counselors, and therapists were respectful, compassionate, empathetic and listened and provided more than I expected in order for me to recover from the desperate, hopeless, state I was in. I continue to feel a part of the DFC community even after completing the program because the after care is also exceptional.
