"When I got to Hanley I felt like I was drowning in a pit of quicksand! They took my hand (the only piece of me still sticking up out of the sand) and pulled me back to life! Their staff is absolutely the best in the industry! They care about each and every one of their patients! Their alumni team checks in on me regularly!"
"Hanley saved my daughters life. The staff at Hanley is amazing. Being 1000 miles away, they called me and emailed me to keep me updated on my daughters progress. My daughter has been clean and sober for 13 months. Her whole attitude towards life has chmaged. Hanley does not stop working with their clients after 30 or 60 days. They are there for the long haul. As long as their clients need it."
While the majority of reviews for Hanley Center are overwhelmingly positive, some critical feedback exists.
