What People Are Saying About RHA's FBCs

I came to FRTC feeling unworthy; I left feeling cared for and loved. I am getting my life together one day at a time. I honestly cannot thank the staff enough for giving me my life back, and more importantly, helping me find the value in myself that I just couldn’t see.

The staff at Neil Dobbins Center were the kindest and most compassionate people. I wasn’t nice when I came in, but y’all didn’t hold that against me and you kept helping me anyway. The nurses and the CPSS/Tech team helped me overcome my shame about needing to come to treatment.
