Passages Drug and Alcohol Rehab Testimonials
Dear Chris,
Thank you! Thank you to you and your entire addiction treatment staff at Passages for having "saved J***'s life." I really believe that. First of all, about his spells, it has now been approximately a full month that J*** has been "spell free." For about the last several years, since J*** was in 8th grade, or a freshman at Military Academy, has he ever had even several days together without having spells, even while being in varsity wrestling and football. In the last year it has been many times a day, every day. Again, thank you for helping to provide a miracle to J*** and the entire family.
When I arrived at Passages a week ago Friday, I really was not a believer (yet). I was told that J*** wasn't having spells, but I really doubted that was true. I knew you had a "Country Club" atmosphere for all the patients and staff, but I didn't really know if Passages was for real. I came in with a bad attitude. J*** pointed that out to me right away. I was still MAD at J***, and I really didn't know if he had made any progress at all. All of your staff totally impressed me. They all really care. Two of your staff that made such an immediate impression on me were Pei Ju and Dr. Tim.
It was only after seeing and hearing how they interacted with J*** (and myself) and how much they really cared about J*** was I a true believer. Pei Ju helped to provide a miracle of J*** being "spell free" and beyond. She loves J*** and it really shows. I sat in on the two-hour session with Dr. Tim and J*** and found it incredible. I couldn't believe some of the answers and feelings that came out of my son. J*** convinced me that he really wants it and wants to change, is changing, and will continue to change. I believe J*** is truly an amazing young man, and I am so proud that he is my son - I always have been.
Passages is truly an amazing place and is "for real." Chris, thank you.
Best Wishes,
(Jxxx"s Dad)

Dear Chris,
Thank You for the quick response. It was so genuine and warm. I will definitely read your book. I'm sure you have read all the books written !
I am trying to finance the treatment and I am certain Passages is the best place for me, (probably every other living person with an addiction as well) I can"t even find a drug treatment center that is a close second. You are head and shoulders above the other treatment centers. I will hopefully be in touch with you soon if I am able to do the ($$$) part of it. Cross your fingers and concentrate really hard on a positive outcome.
I am sending along an attachment that struck a chord with me and have read alot of info along these lines. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge on the subject. Your wisdom is priceless to someone like me. I"m a late bloomer and my problem began at age 40! The "why" part of it seems obvious to me but I"d like an educated professional"s assessment to have a greater chance of permanent success.
Thank You Chris for giving me so much of your time. Clearly, your heart and soul is devoted to helping people: and that in and of itself is a true inspiration.
Thanks again,
Kxxx

Chris,
I just wanted to send a letter to keep you updated on my life since the last email you received from me (see attached). As you know, my philosophy is that life is a journey not a destination. Having been to Passages and followed the drug treatment program as it was defined, I can honestly say now that my life is free from any substances which was prohibiting my journey to continue.
I continue to face normal life challenges that come my way, as we all do, however I no longer get that cloud or feeling that would take over my decision making and put me into that "auto pilot mode" to use drugs as a way to hide from my fears and recent deaths of my family members. Audrey, Mark, Nancy, Carrie, Mary & others [drug treatment staff] were able to uncover my "Black Cat" that I wasn"t able to realize on my own. This triumphant "Black Cat" discovery took me back to when I was 3 years old. The feeling of anxiety, rapid heart beat, tight stomach, and being out of control is no longer a feeling I get. That feeling is now long gone, I no longer experience it, thus drugs are no longer an option for me. It"s that simple, not a work load of itineraries to follow but simply an application of a guy who walked into your drug treatment program, surrendering he put his hands up and replied, "it"s my turn". I am now able to continue my journey (without the possibility of self induced destruction/death).
My climb up the mountain of life searching for a peak that does not exist will continue forever. As you would say, way to go, I say ways to go.
Thanks again to your entire staff,
Dxxxx

Dear Chris and Pax,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for creating the place that saved my life. I went from wanting to die for the last 13 years, to loving every aspect of my life in just about 3 weeks. I would never have believed that to be possible with the hell I was in before I found you guys, but now I am living proof! How many people get out of drug rehab and can"t wait to go back for a reunion? Only at Passages. You and all the staff are truly doing God"s work, and I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for giving me that greatest gift I have ever gotten, a happy life without dependency.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Rxxx
