Client Successes

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing this testimonial to share my wonderful experience at Brick House. No one at Brick House asked me to write it – I’m writing it because they helped me so much that I felt compelled to share my experience. 

For years, prior to going to Brick House, I spent way too much of my life suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, irritability, depression and general malaise. I fell into the habit of relying to my substance of choice to lift my mood and help me get through frustrating and anxiety-inducing experiences. 

After years of using my substance of choice to cope, I had lost interest in the things that formerly brought me joy. I was frustrated with some aspects of my job and my personal life and didn’t really have any means of coping other than using substance. I became increasingly anxious and miserable. I suffered from panic attacks, anxiety attacks, irritability and didn’t have much joy in my life. Even substance use didn’t cheer me up and I was using my substance of choice almost daily. 

Eventually, I sought help but was very reluctant to go to Brick House. I was very speculative about going into a recovery program and was almost certain Brick House wouldn’t be much if any help. I’m very happy to admit I was completely wrong about Brick House! 

The 28 Day Intensive Recovery Program at Brick House was a wonderful, life changing experience for me. I learned a tremendous amount about myself and why I leaned so heavily on my drug of choice while many other people in my life lived substance free. I came to realize that there are a lot of people who suffer from anxiety, irritability, impatience, panic attacks and so on. A lot of us turn to drugs and/or alcohol as a means of coping. Because of the things I learned at Brick House, I have been able to live a much healthier and happier life without relying on any drugs or alcohol. 

The best part of all the great things at Brick House are the people. The Counsellors, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Instructors, Leaders and Program Managers are wonderful people who genuinely care about their clients. They’re also a lot of fun and they’ve designed the facility and the course content to be enjoyable and interesting. It’s amazing, but I actually had a lot of fun in the 28 Day Intensive Recovery Program, while learning!

In short, Brick House made it easy, quick and enjoyable to improve my life immeasurably. 

Best wishes!

Yours,
