Five-star reviews credit Mr. Cole and the team with real recovery wins, including regaining custody and staying off substances. One-star reviews cite staff rudeness, lost records, testing delays, and high costs that exceeded court fines. Review spread is sharp: 60% five-star praise versus 40% one or two-star complaints, pointing to uneven experience depending on who you meet at intake.
