About this facility
- Mission
- Our goal is to reduce or eliminate the use of substance
and alcohol abuse as a contributing factor to physical,
psychological, and social dysfunction, and to arrest,
retard, or reverse the progress of any associated
problems, and also to promote empowerment, leadership
and civic responsibility. Perspective: Better Days views
young females as a continuum of our nation's future, as
they are the child bearers of the future. If we do not
educate and refurbish sobriety in their mental state
now, we just might inadvertently sacrifice the future
of America as we know it, with even that one parent
- "Mother" status or statistic. - Service
- Don't Know
