I was nervous before arriving, but right away a felt welcome and safe. Everyone truly cared about me. I tried treatment before at two other places, but here the therapist actually got to the root of the issues. The toolthey gave me have helped me to stay clean for two years and three days. There\'s no other way to say it — They saved my life. Calling Ambrosia was the best deicison my family ever made.
The Detox Center , Serenity Estates , PC , IOP and Main Campus at Enlightened Solutions is truly remarkable. The Staff, Clinicians, and Management and Owner are the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met. I credit this place for saving my life. It is the most comprehensive recovery center around. This program is set up from admit to discharge, to offer a person suffering from addiction the most innovative and successful opportunities to recover. I can not speak enough kind words, and I am truly grateful for them to helping my recovery ❤️.
I was in the treatment facility almost two years ago. I completed and was doing great. Unfortunately I relapsed and was fortunate to get into the program again. Well I messed up and wasn't ready. So unfortunately for me I left. Now I am no longer allowed to seek treatment at Seabrook which is unfortunate for me. It's been almost two years. I would think I would have been forgiven. I'm a addict. But I reached out for help and was told no. I don't understand that. Isn't that what this facility is all about? Helping the addict work on getting clean. I'm killing myself and my mom. I'm lost with no help. I just want you to know I needed a chance and didn't think I would be banned because of a stupid decision on my part to leave. I just want you to know you could be a chance for someone to make it or die. Just wanted to let you know.
