I am a client that has traveled from far away. I come a long way searching for help and freedom from my addiction, I believe I am in the right place. I've noticed that Lincoln Trail has a very professional staff and I would like for your administration to take notice to your kitchen worker, Edna. She's an excellent, good, warm and friendly person. She always greets you with a smile and trying to give you quality service. Please acknowledge her for her hard work.

I want to thank you for being so flexible with my financial situation. But, more important, I want to sincerely thank you for helping our son. We had family counseling after he left your facility. Everything is going great. He graduated from his high school on May 30 th . He was on the” honor roll” all four quarters of his senior year. He has been accepted into the “Honors Course” classes at the local major university. He starts classes this fall.
