Recovery Supports
Many amazing things have happened to me since February 4, 2008; it was a day that changed my life forever. Today I am a father of two amazing boys, Ricky and Carson, whom I want to set a great example for. I decided to dedicate my life to helping men rebuild their lives.
Afterwards I went back to school to become a drug and alcohol counselor. Shortly after graduation, the first recovery house was opened.

Ultimately, it strengthens communities and promotes compassion and altruism. Call Villa Kali Ma today if you or a loved one is looking for new beginnings in sober living.
