Mr. Boris González
The González Recovery Residences
-(address removed)-


I am pleased to endorse the GRR in their laudable mission to provide a nurturing
environment for individuals on the road back to living a sober life. Their mission is very
much in keeping with my model of "Care-frontation."

The program and home environment offered by the GRR provide an ideal extended care
setting for the discriminating individual seeking comfortable, enjoyable and meaningful
sobriety.
