Hi. I loved this place. I didn't want to go there but at the end, I didn't want to leave. No one followed up with me. My councillor was fired. Thank you for the basic steps and the "free" iPad. You're own your own when you leave. People can go to BC for 6 weeks rehabilitation for less. Just bring your own IPAD.

I have never been to a treatment facility so I have nothing to compare it to. I am glad I chose this facility and am very thankful for the program. I was greeted by very friendly medical staff when I first arrived. I was given a tour and noticed right away how friendly and happy everyone was. I spent two days in detox where I mostly caught up on sleep and watched Netflix. Monday full programming started and I was placed in a small classroom with two other gentlemen. My facilitator was amazing. She made me feel very comfortable right from the start. She also was very encouraging and would help me

I had a wonderful 4 weeks here. I came in a wreck completely depressed with zero confidence and I can proudly say Im walking out a different man! Asking and getting help was the hardest part. Everyone here participants and staff welcomed me with open arms with zero judgement and unconditional love and support! I honestly dont wanna leave! Ive had friendships that will last a lifetime and support that will follow me forever. Plus the food was amazing I ate like a king every day! I recommend this treatment centre for all who has a problem and want to fix it! I could keep writing all day

This is a great place to come I thought my time spent here would be miserable and Id be isolated but every participant was super friendly and welcoming plus the counsellors are great. I made a lot of friends and learned how to cope with my addiction, now with the tools given to me I am ready to go out to the world sober and be successful. Gabby is amazing and Rhea as well

I strongly recommend tees this rehabilitation center as a place to recover. It is full of great staff and offers an excellent learning program . It has an excellent support system also. Gives you an opportunity to meet people that are going through similar issues. You will have an opportunity to meet people that you can connect with and possibly become lifelong friends. Allows you to learn how to find the softer easier way of staying sober. And a great bonus is that you get your own large bedroom with you own personal bathroom.
