Chris, US Airforce
I’ve been in numerous rehabilitation centers, and St. Joseph Health Services is by far the best place I’ve been. I can’t get treatment like this at home. It is phenomenal how compassionate and caring these people are. There are five-star hotels, but there aren’t enough stars in the sky to put a quality on this place. The staff makes you want to be a better person.
