Time heals the pain and time heals the sorrow. Your passing was tremendous at Micheals House. Just wanted you to know that now I have Nine years clean. I owe it to my higher power, myself, and for wanting to change my life but never having the tools to change. I am mentoring addicts now in my business and passing those tools on. Thank you for all you did for addicts like me and for Micheals House.

After forty years of drug use I now have five years clean. Because of Micheals House, the staff, and the tools given to me through their program I now live a life beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you Arlene, you were truly one of God's beautiful angels.

Today I am alive

I am so sad at the loss of Arlene and My heart and prayers go out to the family. 20 + yrs. ago I started working with Arlene, referring clients back and forth to get them the best care possible. So many people were helped by her and her wonderful staff. In our industry it is said that an addict and their addiction will affect at least 7 other people. When using, the effect is not so good, but when clean and sober the effect can be life changing for those who love us. I wonder how many lives, clients and loved ones, that Arlene's hard work and passion, affected. No doubt there are thousands. She will be missed but she did what most people don't do, she made a difference in this world.
Respectfully,
Kirby Dean

Thank you, Arlene Rosen!
I was in Michael's House and I will have 5 years of sobriety next month. I'm forever grateful for this second chance. My smile on the picture is a smile I got at Michael's House.

I just celebrated 11 years clean and sober. Thank you Arlene and family!! June 4, 2004. My best to The family! What an amazing woman who helped me get sober! I am now the Director of the recovery program at the university of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. I would not be alive today without Michael's house.
