I'd first like to start by saying that I've been to more than a dozen different inpatient rehabilitation facilities. Several of which, I've been to on more than one occasion. Five months ago, if asked to provide feedback on each facility, I would have "bashed" them all. Every time I cried out for help, my parents helped to facilitate yet another trip to detox, followed by yet another short stay in rehab. More often than not, I found every reason for it not to work and left before giving it a chance to. I'm not here to tell you why you shouldn't go, or tell your loved ones not to go to a different treatment center. Today, I can reflect back with a clear mind, and identify myself as having been the problem. Had I been willing and receptive to the help that was offered so many times, I may not be sitting here authoring this review.
I'm 32 years old, and I'm a recovering heroin addict. I say that with pride and with brutal honesty, without fear of being judged. I say that because the people at Liberation Way showed me that there is no shame in asking for help. It was said, that there are no long term success stories at Liberation Way. That statement is ignorant and false, not to mention potentially hurtful to those who this program could provide help for. If not for anonymity and confidentiality, I would name names. The truth, my truth, is that the foundation that I have for my recovery was built at Liberation Way.
I am sorry that not everyone feels the same way, but I can assure anyone who is referred to Liberation Way, that you will receive the same opportunity that I did. I didn't arrive at Liberation Way wanting to get sober. I didn't know what I wanted. I didn't know who I was. I was told that Liberation Way was different. I was told that the program would be tailored to meet my needs, individually. I found that once I became a willing participant in my own recovery, the people at Liberation Way would do anything to assist me in navigating the path to recovery, happiness and success. I found people who invested in the addict - the son, the brother, the daughter, the father, the friend and so on. I found people who sincerely cared. When treatment had run its course, when I completed phase two of the program, I was guided into sober living and strongly encouraged to continue treatment in the form of outpatient care. I chose to do so with Liberation Way, because I knew I'd be surrounded and supported by people who invested in me when everyone else labeled me a poor investment. My parents have their son back. They have peace of mind. I've rediscovered my identity and potential, and for that, I am forever grateful to Liberation Way. read more
