The nurses are great here. They treat you with respect as long as you give it to them in the same manner. The counselors on the other hand are pot luck. You just have to hope you get one that's been in your shoes And knows how things go out here in the world of addiction. Some have attitudes that really need to be addressed by the management. I can single them out but that would make me just like them. Oh update on Spencer I spoke to soon. I just feel sorry for the clients that get the bad ones and you see them being brought to tears because of the way they are treated. May God be our judge and know one else. AMEN!!!

Hello Everyone, my name is H. Casiano and I’m a counselor at BNBMC, I never had a bad report with the many patients I send over from our Detox or our 21 days inpatient program. I love the staff there, even though I only speak to them, via phone. Cura staff is like family to me, one hand washes the other. May God continue to bless the work they do for thousands of people they encounter.

Soy boricua graduada de CURA.
This is probably going to sound like it came out of a book. I am very very emotional today because today I celebrate 29 years of recovery with the help of Cura and the counselors and the brothers and sisters in the program.
I was once addicted to opiates in 1988, was arrested, sent to jail first time in my life,
scared to death. Cura representative Mr. Cosme came down to inform us about the program and give us an option on what we wanted to do with our futures and asked us if we wanted to come to his rehab. Being that it was the first time I had ever gotten any trouble, I was terrified but I raised my hand. I completed the program.
I was there for a year never regretted it one bit. Because today I celebrate 29 years in recovery all I did was surrender then Cura started me on my greatest journey.
I will never forget all the help that I got from this program and the people that provided it.

Angel Hope House is a beautiful program with an amazing staff that will truly touch your life. If you are looking for a place to recover safely and take the time out of your life to do the work required, then I would strongly recommend this treatment program. This program helped me understand the disease of addiction, helped me heal from past trauma, and taught me how to be a responsible and productive member of society. I would like to give a special shout out to Mrs. Phyllis Jennings- Brown for taking the time to get to know me on an individual and person level. I have been very misunderstood my entire life, and this woman took the time to understand me. She is a phenomenal woman and a role model in my life! God bless 🪽

I cannot give enough credit to this place. Angel hope house truly saved my life. It gave me a safe place to re enter society and the resources I needed to become an independent strong woman. I’ve been here for just 5 months and I never imagined living life the way I do today. I am leaving soon and I am fully prepared to live life on life’s terms. With all the tools I’ve gained in here , I will keep pushing forward and making my friends and family proud. Most importantly, make myself proud. I would recommend any woman who is looking to change their life and learn to love life again, come to angel hope house. The staff and counselors are incredible. All of us girls in the house are so loving and they are my family now. The house is very clean and lots of space. Also I have to say we eat VERY GOOD here. I will definitely miss this place and stay in contact with the girls and staff but I’m so ready to transition to living on my own. 10/10 !!!!!
