“Break Through Wellness Centre was not the first psychiatric/rehabilitation centre I had visited in the past, and I had little hope that it would produce a result of any great measure, as none of the others had.
I came expecting a safe, low-profile stay because my problems were more of a psychiatric nature rather than a strict need for typical drug or alcohol dependency rehabilitation.
The nature of this centre, however, was entirely new to me. This was a family, readied in advance to welcome me warmly and understand my specific needs, prepared to go to great lengths to help me feel comfortable and able to continue in the program, to my own benefit.
I discovered unforeseen truths about my life and the way I was living it. I was shocked and troubled, feeling unsafe at first outside of my home environment, all of which took a huge toll on me mentally and physically.
But the counselors, as well as the other dedicated and caring staff and fellow patients, were there to encourage and applaud me at every step. It did not take long for me to begin to feel safe enough to share in the groups.
Some of my most worrying fears and embarrassing thoughts that I had thought I would never be able to share with anyone, regardless of how close the relationship, I managed to open up about.
These things had been churning like mortar and pestle in my mind relentlessly, isolated and hidden, thoughts and secrets that were literally driving me insane.
I still have a long way to go in terms of total balance and stability mentally in my thoughts and life in general, but the things I have learned and skills I have been equipped with, notwithstanding the family of which I am now proud to be a part, have given me new hope, faith, and renewed desire to live and live well.
Break Through Wellness Centre is not run on money but rather positivity and love, and above all, a generous, kind-hearted, knowledgeable group of people.”
