My name is Dennis C. I lived at CSTL for 14 months. I was a mess when I came and I was flat out broke. I am a contractor and one of the benefits of CSTL was not only did they let me work and live there, they encouraged it. I was able to rebuild my business, my self esteem, and the necessary recovery I dearly needed at the same time. The mixture of these items and the AA program I worked was great. The results surpassed my hopes and goals. In CSTL, we are a family of non perfect people who help each other to overcome our life and addiction problems. I no longer live at CSTL, but I am a participating member and proud to call these people my family. The interaction of the residents, along with meetings being on site is beneficial to one's recovery. Don Troutman, the founder, is a crusader for recovery. He has living costs reasonable and affordable. This place saved my life. I recommend CSTL to anyone who wants recovery and change their life.
