He is also tough and determined, capable to empower our loved ones in their journey to find sobriety. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer Stuart’s creative thinking and persistent dedication in service to any family in crisis.

I have been going to meetings at The Lakehouse off and on for years. I have seen many miracles come out of there! Not to mention that is a stunningly gorgeous place!

I was a resident at The Lakehouse in 2013 from February to May. It has been almost a year since I have left and I can say with pride and a giant smile that I have not fallen back into my old behaviors. The staff are incredible and caring. The lake itself and the house is top notch and cozy. It always felt like a place I could rest, even when in my own mind I could not. I have not gone back to visit regrettably, but I hope that this review may help some people find the right place to get their lives back, like I did. God Bless the Lakehouse.

Update: It's Jan 2017 almost four years since I left and I'm employed and still doing great. Thank you.

Update: It’s April 2023. Still going strong and healthy.
