In Summary
New Horizons Living Centers is pretty popular, because of their low cost and strong desire to help newly clean clients get back on the right track. However, their faith-based counseling services might not be for everyone, and even though the outpatient treatment is not mandated, there might be religious vibes. However, those seeking a basic, affordable sober living that offers the option of single rooms may find this a great fit.
