Testimonial

“As a substance abuse counselor, I am thrilled to have a place to send the women who leave our facility. I know when they go to the Cedar House that, without a doubt, they are going to be well taken care of. I have not seen a place that takes care of the body, mind and spirit as the Cedar House does. They offer good fellowship with each other and encourage the women in the vicinity to join with them. As a board member I am proud of what has been created and the vision of what is to come.” – Lisa P.
