Renfrew was the foundation of my recovery. I was at Coconut Creek in 2000, I was 20 years old. My experience at Renfrew will forever be near and dear to my heart. I went in a very bitter and sick person, and I came out with hope and a good foundation for my recovery. I’ve been recovered since I was 26-ish. I’m now 43. Thank you for opening Renfrew and thank you for helping me build a life I love.
