"I will say I have dealt with a lot of mental health professionals and Paisley at Anchor has been absolutely wonderful. She was my daughter's social worker and she helped us every step of the way."
— MapQuest Review"I feel it's my duty to forewarn anyone who might subject their selves to this kind of treatment to know what exactly it is they're getting into. Run. If you want help, get it somewhere else. I wouldn't even send my dog there... Please, trust me!"
— Patient Review on DrugAbuse.com / Alcohol.org"Out-Patient Program was most effective. Learned how to detect triggers, problem solve, and created a safety plan. The on-site nurse was professional addressing medical and mental issues. Classroom instructors were organized and presented very well."
