LAD has the most caring, loving staff. From the moment you make the first call for help, you will feel that concern and care even over the phone. But, once you walk in the doors and meet the staff you really feel safe. The nurses are amazing during detox! All of the staff understands what you are going through and quickly helped me feel deserving of love again. After going to groups and 1 on 1 counseling (which taught me so many things about surrendering to my higher power 100%, self care, rigorous honesty, gratitude, affirmations, community and connections, service— I could go on and on), I am leaving here feeling alive again! I love the real me! I will no longer be wearing any masks. I know that I have recovery work ahead, but I’m looking forward to it, because I’ve seen the the joy, kindness, and love that the staff here brings to work everyday. They show up happy with smiles on their faces, hugs and positive energy to give away and I want that for my life again! Travis in case management helps filing claims, assistance with insurance, discharge planning, legal help if needed, and so much more. I left Texas and flew to Nashville for this place. I know now that God wanted me in this exact place to meet the wonderful group of people that I became friends with so quickly. Hopefully, some will remain lifelong friends, because I will really miss them!
Love and gratitude to Matt for greeting me the first night and for being so kind during check in and every night that I saw him after that (thanks for the Earl Grey tea Matt 😊), Chelsea and Leigh Anne for their group work- they both have an incredible way of sharing things they have learned that really help you heal from within and you start wanting just to soak up all of their knowledge 💜, Nurse Kelly (night shift) and Nurse Chris (days) give the best hugs and uplifting advice especially since I am a nurse and they particularly focused on not allowing me to focus on shame and guilt, but on my accomplishments and what I have to look forward to moving forward- they treated me with complete respect (love you both 🤗) All of the nurses were caring and just amazing- Stacy, Sheila, Marlene, Patricia, Kelly on day shift. Additional shout outs to my therapist Chris….. he helped me work through so many things and gave me great coping skills to use at LAD and to take with me (can’t thank you enough), Nick for morning meditations and great insight and also all of his spunk, Josue for some very interesting, informative, and inspiring conversations on Sundays, Chris (night tech) for is humor and late night conversations when some of us couldn’t sleep, and Luke for his peaceful nature.

If you need help, please call LAD! It’s a small group of people, 12 at max capacity, super caring and attentive staff, great food and soooo many snacks/drinks available 24/7, lovely facility.

These folks rock! Best decision I’ve ever made for myself. I felt safe and at home as soon as showed up.
