They always taking you out to great places during the week, beaches, Go Karting, hiking, bowling, baseball games, water parks, you name it.

JMA Kingsola

The second step in my journey to sobriety, clarity, and well being. Not to sound melodramatic but I truly don’t know where I would be today if I had simply gone home after rehab. I chose to extend my care with 12 South and I’m all the better for it. Great team, friendly supportive teachers and staff. The facility was always in good condition and there was always something engaging to do. Nearing 100 days of sobriety and I can’t thank 12 south enough

Brian Ardovino

Great place to get better. Staff was great and very helpful. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Susan Tray

This was the best decision for my son. The staff including Trevor and Lori were so compassionate,professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend 12 South if you are trying to save someone. They know what to do when you feel helpless. They are clinicians that know what to do when you are clueless They are literal lifesavers and a gift from God when you are struggling the most. Highly recommend this rehab and the people who run it .Very grateful.
