Would be a better place if they didn't think that there are the only treatment center in the world and make comments that are not professional or accurate about other facilities. If you're a county resident or have the cash and I'm sure the inside person to get you in us helpful you're out of luck. They love money. Go to AA if you have an addiction you're more likely to stay sober and learn some real stuff not Dawn Farm I'd God stuff. I agree with suitsmes comment all the way.

Congratulations to a program that has withstood the test of time, budget cuts, naysayers and who numbers many grateful residents whose lives were changed forever for the good. Kudos to Jim Balmer who has stood steady at the helm to guide Dawn Farm through all the changes that were needed to maintain the old that worked and embrace the new that was needed.
