“Walking through the doors for recovery is one of the scariest things. Right away the staff was welcoming, kind, and very supportive. Throughout my stay every team within Curawest was helpful. Everyone was well knowledgeable, in all areas. From the front lines/Bhts, case management, and therapists, I was provided the best level of care. Curawest is a very safe place, and always provided groups and therapy to help with not only detoxing, but helping to provide tools for prolonged recovery and sobriety. I highly recommend Curawest as a number 1 place to receive care and treatment for substance use!!”

“My experience at CuraWest during their 30-day residential program was truly life-changing. I came in seeking help with recovery, therapy, medication management, and addiction treatment, and I am leaving with a completely new outlook and the tools I need to continue building a healthy life. One of the most powerful aspects of CuraWest is the staff. The Behavioral Technicians are incredible, and what makes them especially impactful is that many of them are in recovery themselves. The same is true for the therapists, case managers, and even a large portion of the nursing staff. Because they have lived through the same struggles, they genuinely understand what clients are going through. Their empathy, patience, and guidance made it easier to open up and truly engage in the recovery process. The case managers and therapists helped me develop real tools for long-term recovery, not just temporary solutions. Their support and honesty made a huge difference in my progress. I also want to thank the chefs, DJ and Tyler. They made every meal welcoming and positive, and their friendliness helped create a sense of community that made the environment feel supportive and comfortable. The facility itself is excellent. The rooms are comfortable with 50-inch TVs and quality bedding, which helps make the stay feel more like a place of healing than a clinical environment. There are separate lounges for detox and residential clients, including areas to relax and unwind with things like ping pong tables and comfortable spaces to decompress. Most importantly, I’m leaving CuraWest feeling like a new person. The program gave me the tools, support, and perspective I needed to continue my recovery journey with confidence. I am deeply grateful to the entire team at CuraWest for their dedication, compassion, and commitment to helping people rebuild their lives.”

“Best program around hands down. I didn't know what to expect since it's my first time getting treatment but it blew my expectations. 75 days sober and counting. The staff is great and understanding.”

“Pine Tree Recovery is the first detox I’ve been to and has set the bar high for any kind of hospitalizations. Staff aid you through the worst of withdrawals and treats their patients like adults. The atmosphere is very calm and welcoming and the food is fantastic. I would recommend PTR to anyone struggling with alcohol and any other addictions.”
