No Judgement
As someone who was 110% against the idea of rehab I cannot say enough good things about Always Hope! From the moment I met Roger and Shauna at the airport they made me feel like part of the family and no judgement was made.
Working through the 12 steps with Jim’s guidance not only taught me some valuable lessons and helped me heal, but was also done in a way that was “kinda fun”
My stay at Always Hope really was like a mini-vacation with therapy. It was nice to be surrounded by people who been where I have and in an environment where judgement doesn’t exist. This is my testimonial or testimony to the success of Always Hope.
Always Hope has changed my life and I’m lucky to also now be able to call Roger, Shauna and Jim my friends.

10 Fear of people and economic insecurity will leave us.
11 We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
