"Gary & David truly care..."

My experience with everyone at GPS has been great. Having a family member with addiction is a very difficult situation, but Gary and David truly care and want to help not only the person who is addicted but everyone in the family. They don’t just treat the addiction, they try to get to the root cause. There are always things in every company that can be improved on, but GPS has been fantastic. Thank you very much!

"Everyone at GPS was helpful & hands on..."

GPS counseling was definitely a life savor in my position. They helped to pick myself up off the floor and finally get sober. Everyone at GPS is very helpful and hands-on with helping me to learn and understand addiction and how to overcome it. I also really like the small group aspect , it really helps to make it easier to open up in group. Thank you so much, GPS.
