Testimonials
"At first I didn't think too much of the Haven but and that is a big "but" I was able to talk about my problems. One visit led to another to the point I was showing up at the same time it was opening. I started to come out of my depression. I started to cleaning myself up. I didn't see the changes at first but now I do. If it wasn't for ...the Haven opening I wouldn't be here. I was on the verge of drinking and using drugs again. Now I am a new man and I am only one person they have helped. I am so grateful
