Key Review Excerpts
“Devereux has saved our son's life. Everyone but his pastor had given up on him before we sent him there, he was completely out of control behaviorally with no willingness to change. Devereux put him back on track, not just to survive, but to thrive.”
“I lived in this group home back in the late 90's to the early 2000 and when I first went to them I was on the verge of one of those kids who would spend his life in prison because of how violent I was when I first moved there I was such a horrible kid because I was traumatized from my last group home hillsides in Pasadena California and within four years they completely changed me”
“The facilities provide so much good for the residents that live there. Unfortunately it is run so poorly. They run multiple programs on their campus and in the community in unmarked houses. Most programs are understaffed often.”
