“This place is thee first place that did everything they said they would! It was thee only place my child thrived at their program and groups and therapy are among the best! They sought out Amazing therapists and personal that really connect with the kiddos. I HIGHLY Recommend Horizon Recovery!!! I’m giving 5 stars because they go above and beyond for your kiddo and they want the best for them and that is literally everything and they really put my mind at ease seeing how it worked and why they do things they way they do and im not gonna lie I had little hope bouncing my child from facility to facility only to find how they failed my child even more and so I get it I was very skeptical BUT let me tell you I wish I could go!!”

“My son has been to many different programs, and I can say with extreme pleasure that Horizon Recovery is a special program… When they tell you they are going to do something it is NOT lip service. They do it. From the first day to after the last it has felt like being a part of a family. The care and respect they showed/gave my son and our family is like nothing we have experienced prior.”
- Mara
“To see the change in my kiddo and to see the growth is nothing short of a miracle it’s something I had started to think my child wouldn’t find I’ve had to fight so hard for mental health for my child and so I’ve been around for a few years and this place sticks to their word let that sink in when you are looking because MOST DONT!!! I am so thankful for every single person who’s had a helping hand with my kiddo I can’t ever repay what you’ve given back to me”
