I'm currently in a 28 day residential rehab program at Hazelton Betty Ford in Center City Minnesota with about 11 days left. After this I may be doing their 28 day outpatient program on site. Then I will be relocating to Cedar Rapids and I'm seeking a sober living environment for longer term living. I'm originally from Iowa City where my father and one brother reside. My ex-wife and two teen age daughters (17 and 14) live in DeWitt Iowa so Cedar Rapids is the ideal location for my re-location back to Iowa. Please contact me via e-mail and let me know of my options for your facility.
