I personally attended Best Drug Rehabilitation a while back and at first I could have cared less whether it worked or not. I was injured at work a while ago and in the process of that I hurt my back, ended up having to get surgery, and was put on some medication. After being on that medication for a while I began to kind of become immune to its effects and was feeling no different so that is when I began drinking and using other drugs to compensate for the pain I was feeling. That in turn then led me to go downhill at work and not really care about my appearance I was just doing whatever I could to feel sorry for myself because of the injury that had taken place and was giving myself the ole pitty party of why did this have to happen to me.
After a few months of spiraling out of control some of my co-workers sat me down and told me I was going to lose my job that I had been at successfully for almost 9 years if I did not go and get the help that they were offering me. It was hard to say yes but it was almost harder to look at all these people who cared more about me than I did at that moment and tell them no! So I was on my way to rehab, not very happy about it but I was going. I had something to prove to them but more so to myself knowing that this is not who I was or who I was supposed to be. I gave it everything I had. I detoxed had good days and bad days. I had days where I called my buddies saying how awful it was here and no one knew what they were doing and I was not learning a damn thing. It was all lies to try and get one of them to come get me out of this place. When I could not get one to come I would call the other when they did not come I would call the next but when no one came I realized that this was something I had to face and they were letting me know I had to finish this. About twenty days after that I graduated I remember calling all of them and thanking them for not coming to get me. I had finally got to all of my underlying issues and began to stop feeling sorry for myself and at that point I knew that I would not go back and fall into this trap of addiction again. I cannot thank the people at this center again. I said such hurtful things to them while I was here and about this place but it really was just because I did not want to be here I would say or do anything to get out if it. In the end I am so proud of myself for all that I have accomplished and I looked forward to going home and showing everyone including myself that I did it and I am back. The real me the one who cares about their job performance, the one who takes pride in their appearance and the one who loves life and today I am proud to say that this program helped me get all of that back.

This place is a good place in ovet all, very good service in terms of helping you come off the drug or alcohol. It is not very nice and old, but the program itself work. In all honesty it is not very nice again just saying, so don\'t be surpised, but the point I am trying to make is that it is not the most important part of the program, after as that goes, it does have an advantage that you are still away from your usual triggers and peers who would agree with you to do drugs and so on, and it is ina a quiet area, so you will at least be in a quietnice surrounding. It is next to a lake and you can really relax and forget your day to day life, which in itself has a huge therapeutic value. When you first get there you go to the detox, you go there till you take your last dose and than they move you to a different room. Than you see you do your program, that is set up with a counselor, so you go over your issues, why you are there, what do you want to get out of the program, what things do you need fixing with, weak points and so on. You than go to group meetings and also one on one counselings too. The good thing here too is that there are different tracks that you can choose like faith based and sekf help and what not, so they do not force you go read the bible or whatever if you are really not religious, and those who are they also have their peogram, so eveyone is happy, but they still get the same benefits, it is just a differetn approach to reach the same goal. Than there are these alternative classes or methids, whatever tzey are called, like music therapy and arts and so on. There is also a room where you can work out, and get fit, and or you can go out and do some exercise, there are also group exercises, this I liked a lot, I prefer to work out in a group. There is even a cooking class, I personally did not go, but some others did and it was apparently very useful. But what did it to me was really to see where did my addiction came from in the first place and to really deal with thise things in life, and learned how to deal with them. I also realized many things, many things I wanted to changed and I did change. What is great too is that you learn to recognize thise things people that make you wanna use, or situations that would drive you back all the way again into the same situation, and if you already know what it is it is much easier to handle it. Honestly it was very hard, of course was hard, atvthe beginning, I was scraping the wall from the pain, but it was for the good cause because now I can say I am off drugs and I am clean! Finally clean! All this I would have not been able to achieve without the help feom the amazing staff at afr!

What an experience! I feel like a totally new person thanks to my experience at Behavioral Rehabilitation Services. This rehab center was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. What a trip! I have been struggling with an addiction to prescription drugs and alcohol off and on for almost a decade now. I had been to two other rehab centers before this one but they were not anything like it. This treatment center was truly special and interesting.
I got a lot of one on one attention at Behavioral Rehabilitation Services. This center treated me like a sophisticated adult which I really appreciated. This treatment center helped me to find a level of sobriety that I was not able to find at the other two rehab centers. At Behavioral Rehabilitation Services, I was also able to pick and choose which approaches to addiction treatment that I was going to get, and which ones would be left to the side. This helped me get more done in less time, because I was able to focus on the therapies and the treatment methods that worked for me and that were only the successful ones, not the ones that would not help me.
I would strongly recommend Behavioral Rehabilitation Services to anyone who was suffering with drug and alcohol addiction. This rehab center was a huge force of change in my life that I will not forget anytime soon. I don’t think I would still be here today if it was not for them. I would strongly recommend this treatment center to anyone who has been struggling with addiction, especially people who have not been able to beat their addiction problems with other rehab centers. Behavioral Rehabilitation Services is a cure all! My hat is off to them and I wish them greatness!
