In late 2022 thru early 2023 , I was in a dark place in my life . LAOP introduced me to one of the best therapists there is. Juliette helped me eliminate the darkness I lived in . Attending LAOP, I learned so much about life and the importance of seeking help. I will forever be grateful for this place! Thank you so very much !

Thank you for sharing your experience. I can only speak for myself, but going here was a great experience overall.
The highlight of this place for me was the therapist Julie who pulled it all together. If she's gone now, I would probably dock another star as the rest of the staff was a mixed bag in terms of organizing.
Despite this, everyone was caring and understanding, and this felt like a very safe space to tackle some difficult issues, so I cannot really fault the atmosphere.
It is a new center, so it certainly did feel like a work in progress, and the management was going through a transitional period.
And there were some uncertainties with coverage which certainly left an anxious taste, albeit the staff did help resolve this in the end.
Overall this was a very homey experience, and I don't think there are many facilities like this around. I sincerely hope this place continues to operate and be there for others, and help them as it helped me. Thank you LAOP for all you've done for me.

Hi Laura, thank you for your great and thoughtful review. The best decision I made for myself was to finally get treatment for my addiction. It was the hardest thing I think I’ve ever had to do, there is no doubt about that. For quite a while I was too scared to even try to change that about myself but taking those steps has given me a new life.
