“I really appreciate the fact that you offer a toll free help line. Other treatment centers want you to book an appointment and come in for an assessment, even if you just want some advice. The fact that someone can pick up the phone and talk to one of your doctors without having to commit to a program or drive across the state for an appointment is not only convenient, but much more likely to result in someone actually taking the first steps toward treatment.” – Name Withheld
