I could never thank the staff here enough. I am forever grateful to them. They gave me a safe place to come and change my life! Most of the staff here are more like family to me than my own blood relatives!! I see some negative reviews here and I have to say my experience was completely different! I don’t know where I would be, or my son.. without carter hope. This is a place to learn to become a responsible and productive member of society. They can’t make you stay clean but they can give you the tools to. Thank you so much staff at chc for all you do! Thank you for your vision and your heart and for giving addicts a place to come and change their lives. I am forever grateful to you all!

I'M 14 YEARS CLEAN TODAY!!! On August 27, 2007 my nephew Jody Buckner drove me up- the hill on Hawthorne street to Carter Hope Center here in Dalton Ga . From the time my sweet husband Terry Hambright died in 2004, I could not face the emptiness and hurt I was feeling and my life spun out of control. I medicated myself with anything I could get to help numb that pain, I put my sweet daughter and the rest of my family thru so much pain watching me destroy this wonderful life I had been given. At Carter Hope Center I found I was not alone, and there were wonderful people who understood why I was suffering and allowing my pain to make everyone who loved me and cared about me to suffer with me. I'm so grateful for all the people I found in recovery who taught me "step by step" how to stop the insanity and begin to heal. I am so very blessed to have my family stand behind me and love me unconditionally. . I don't normally share "my story" on social media, but maybe just maybe someone out there is suffering or a family is watching someone they love suffer. Please don't give up on yourself or on a loved one, because there is always "HOPE"

I wish I could give this dungeon NO STARS!! This place is a SCAM just to get people's money!! They do not care whatsoever about people gaining sobriety. They let the counselors come and wash their clothes even in the house and eat our food and use our cleaning products. Also, Chuck the "director" of the program should NOT BE AROUND WOMEN. He made several very inappropriate comments to me there during my stay. I left and seemed out genuine treat and have been sober since March 7th, 2014. Zero thanks to Carter Hope!
