Testimonials

I can't say enough about the how great the program is here. The staff really went above and beyond! It is a true testament to how much the staff truly cares about helping.

Brian J.

I have never worked for a company that is as dedicated to the families served as SUWS of the Carolinas. In my past work as a therapist in a variety of treatment settings, nothing has compared to the intensity, impact and quality of treatment that is provided here. Experienced wilderness clinicians, extremely competent and caring staff, a safe, supportive environment and the beauty of the natural world. Can't get any better than that.

Deara B.

Never did I think I would need a place like this. But I did. There aren't words to describe how much this place and its staff saved my daughter. The staff, including the therapists, approach it with love but accountability. The communication with me as the parent was phenomenal and I never felt alone in the journey because of the staff.

Shayni S.

SUWS helped my daughter make the positive changes she needed. She has become more self aware and responsible. We had some serious behavior problems before that are 90% gone now. The staff at SUWS were so supportive and caring. It was a hard decision to send her there, but absolutely no regrets.
