I came to Midwest Recovery having been addicted to opiates for 20 years. I believe I was close to death. 2 weeks later I was free of opiates and on my way to recovery. The staff is amazing. Matt, Josh, Rob, Trish, Lindsey and Lars and the best. This is the place to get clean. Midwest saved my life.
