"As a healthcare professional, I was terrified about my career and reputation. ART's specialized program for healthcare workers was exactly what I needed. They understood the unique pressures I faced and helped me work with my licensing board. I'm back at work now, sober, and a better nurse than I ever was before."

"The family therapy program saved our marriage. We learned how to communicate without anger and blame. Our daughter has been sober for two years now, but more importantly, we're a family again. The counselors taught us that recovery is a family journey, not just an individual one."

"I thought I had lost my son forever. The intervention services at ART helped us approach him with love instead of anger. The follow-up family support has been incredible. We have weekly family sessions and I finally understand addiction as a disease, not a moral failing."

"The family education workshops helped me understand that I wasn't helping my brother by enabling him. Learning about codependency was eye-opening. Now I can support his recovery in healthy ways instead of accidentally sabotaging it."
