Success Stories at Liberty Recovery Center
I truly believe that Liberty Bay saved my life.
I have been to many other treatments in the past 8 years, and never experienced the level of care that I received at Liberty Bay. The clinical staff, medical staff and support staff had such an abundance of compassion and knowledge for us clients. I stayed for almost 3 months and would recommend the Therapeutic Community approach to anyone that seeks help for any addiction. I’m so grateful to every single person that works at Liberty Bay…
