New Residential-Based Rehab Offered at Mills-Peninsula
Every story of addiction is different. Despite perceptions, addicts are not only homeless people and movie stars. They are parents, professionals, neighbors and family members.
Each person struggling with an addiction to alcohol, drugs and other substances can feel isolated, frightened and hopeless. They wrestle with emotional and physical problems. Regardless of what circumstances led to addiction, there are paths to recovery.
Mills-Peninsula Health Services has introduced a unique residential-based rehabilitation option — an intensive 28-day program for people with alcohol- and drug-dependencies.
