Testimonials

"Thank you Desert Parkway for helping me through a suicidal crisis and saving my life. I was there on an L2K for 8 days and the treatment I received was exceptional. I want to thank you for your kindness and assistance."

- Nicole S.

"Ten weeks ago today, I started the outpatient program at Desert Parkway. I was addicted to opiods...actually, I will always be addicted but no longer use. The program helped me to find my way to stop. I was able to find "me" again with the group sessions and support staff. I have only the highest praise for these wonderful people. Their training, experience and compassion help those who are ready. I was ready and my life is back again."

- Karen C.

"I'm so thankful for this hospital and staff. Thank you so much for saving my life and for helping me get on the track I need for my life to the best it can be."
