True Experience
All Inclusive
At True Experience, our sole focus is on creating a safe and supportive environment specifically for men. We understand that men face unique challenges when it comes to mental health, especially after experiencing trauma such as sexual assault, stalking, combat, or other serious issues that impact mental well-being.

Mission Statement:
To empower individuals struggling with substance use disorders, or PTSD to achieve lasting recovery through compassionate, evidence-based care and a supportive environment.
True Experience
is committed to helping men reclaim their mental health and rebuild their lives. We believe that healing is possible when men are given the right tools, support, and understanding of every unique situation that men face but don’t seek recovery for.
