What our Alumni are saying

I don't know if I left a review here or not, its been such a long time since I walked through the doors of that place. From reading reviews it seems to have changed quite a lot. I went to Edgewood in 2004, broken and not knowing myself anymore. I was very lucky that the military sent me to this place. My counselor John and my morning group counselor Sergio helped me shatter so many images of what I thought addiction was about. It opened my eyes and more importantly helped me to learn to listen. There I started to live life on lifes terms. Because of it, I wasn't scared to admit I was an addict, and go to meetings. Because of the start there, I survived deployments, divorce, heartache and sorrow, but kept to something Dale told me, that someone died and their last thoughts were, I fought to get clean, I stayed clean and I will die clean. I can only hope and pray, that I share those words when its my time. But here I sit, clean and sober, for over 21 years, and it wouldnt have been possible without the people at that place.
I had my screening conversation with a lady name Britanny, i had the most instructive, reassuring and supportive moment. Committing to a 50 days program is quite intimidating and she definitely turned things around!
Thank you
I know a few people who went to the facility that really needed help. Thank you for everything you do. Addiction with narcissistic tendencies makes for dangerous humans.
Response from the owner:We are committed to providing exceptional care tailored to each individual's needs, and your thoughtful feedback helps us to continuously improve and adapt our services. Thank you for helping us in our mission to support those on their path to recovery.
Edgewood saved my life. I was there for the 50 day program but I knew that wasn't enough time for me. I am so grateful that I got to stay an extra 2 weeks. I love the weekly after-care. It helps each week. I love attending the cake nights as well. I'll be forever grateful to Egdewood for helping me get my life on track! All in the right direction.
Doing great thx
Response from the owner:Thanks, David — we’re glad to hear you’re doing well. Please reach out anytime you need support. We're always here for you.
Au début d’octobre 2023, j’ai vécu un choc post-traumatique très intense que je pensais réussir à gérer et que j’allais retrouver un rythme de vie normal après quelques mois, comme on dit souvent, laisse le temps passer et ça va se passer… mais plus ça allait pire c’était… j’étais rendu que j’avais un état de panique juste d’entendre sonner à la porte, et encore pire d’aller répondre… je suis allé rencontrer une psychologue à la CAVAC qui m’a accueuilli chaleureusement avec beaucoup de compréhension et d”empathie. Elle s’est occupé de moi immédiatement et s’est occupé de me mettre en contact avec l’IVAC, qui ont aussi été chaleureux et comprehensif en m’expliquant que des services et traitements existaient pour des personnes comme moi, et que j’avais accès à plusieurs ressources physiques, psychologiques et sociales. Et j’ai eu l’énorme chance d’avoir de l’aide de leur part pour me donner la main et m’apporter l’aide nécessaire que j’avais besoin. J’ai eu plusieurs possibilités de traitements et soins pour augmenter ma confiance en moi et je suis allé en thérapie fermée au CENTRE NOUVEAU-DÉPART et c’était tellement agréable que je serais allé vivre là si c’était possible… Cette coquille de protection où on vie en communauté dans un cadre sain, professionnel et à l’abri des regards, des jugements et autres trucs qui nous obsèdent, ne sont pas là et ont réapprend la vie dans un environnement agréable et sécuritaire sans préjugés et jugements négatifs à notre égard. C’est impossible de trouver un endroit plus agréable et sain que là, que j’ai dû y retourner une 2 fois… parce qu’après ma sortie, 3 ou 4 semaines plus tard, mon fils de 24 ans a failli mourir… après un accident de la route et il s’en ait sorti avec une amputation presque totale de la jambe gauche et j’ai tellement souffert à l’intérieur de peur de le perdre, je l’aime tellement et 2 thérapies en 1 an c’est possible mais pas souhaitable à personne…
Saved my life
