Therapist "Chris " is a great witty young man. He is one of the best therapist I've worked with. His knowledge of cognitive management is impressive. I just wish they offered valet parking. Or maybe a subway restaurant located inside.

Saved my life - truly. I was in a bad place and headed for an even worse one. Without this place and the staff, I would have lost my family and I am certain that I would be dead now, It's up to each person to take advantage of what is offered here. If you're there to get sober and stay sober, you'll get all the help you can handle. You'll get out what you put in.

I thank God every day for this place. I only go a couple times a week now and love my counselor. I think the staff are amazing as they deal with a lot of negativity, and a lot of people who don't want to play by the rules. They have some mandatory classes and some you take as you want to. I've learned to take what ever they offer because you can never learn to much. I give nothing but praise to the staff and fellow clients. Don't pay attention to the negative jellies who leave terrible reviews on here. I've read them and can tell you they are people who didn't want to play by the rules.

MAT is a life saver for those who take it seriously. And let's be honest, it's a life saver for most who don't take their recovery seriously as well. I can't believe all of the negative publicity this place gets, and it's sad that most of the reasons I hear for people's negative opinions aren't even based on fact. I think everybody in the community needs to be educated on the facts, and to learn the truth of how big of an impact addiction has on our community. thanks Looking down upon, and stigmatizing people who are trying to m.poake positive changes in their lives is disgusting. All the ignorant fools who spout off outdated, sensationalized rhetoric whenever the topic of methadone treatment comes up deserve to spend just one day in an addict's shoes. I bet most wouldn't even make it through the day... That's right, those "weak, hopeless junkies"have dealt with more in life than most can even fathom. Instead of lending a helping hand and some much needed social support, what does the majority of the community do? Belittles, hell even vilifies these people who are in the midst of one of most difficult struggles one can face. Thanks

lace has help me get my life back. I was totally at my bottom when I came here. I was addicted to heroin, crack, Alcohol and every and any drug I could get my hands on. I had to sign custody of my 3 children to my cousin because CPS was going to take my rights to them away from me. I was living in a horrible motel out in Grandville because I was kicked out of every other motel around. I was doing some retched things to support both mine and my abusive no good boyfriend. Finally after being so tired and wanting a way out but not knowing how I prayed to God for help. Not long after that prayer I was paralyzed from Guillian Barre Syndrome and was put in the hospital for a week. After I was moved into Mary Free Bed for 2 months to learn to walk, use my arms, and work on speech and get movement into my face again. I was put on methadone during this time because I could not fathom trying to lay in a bed and be able to move anything while going through withdraws. If you ever went through heroin withdraw. you know you have to be able to get to a bathroom for multiple purposes. So I got accepted in Cherry Street upon Release from Mary Free Bed. This was not my first time going in to this program. I had went through it before but I was still using. I kept making excuses to use like I had to wait until I got my dose high enough or the methadone did not last through the night. But I was not ready at this time and was only trying to quit to make others happy and not for myself. This time I was doing it for me and it worked. The point of the clinic for my recovery was I was able to change things. I was able to dig myself out of the hole I created and give myself a life full of reasons to stay on track with my sobriety. I went to college to get a degree in addictions so when I am tapered out of the clinic (which I am working on currently) I can find employment to help people like me. I was able to start a new relationship with my children and be in their lives. I meant a man who loves and excepts me for my past. He has a daughter that lives with us both and I love her as my own. I believed I could not have anymore children due to complications and a pregnancy loss but I have two beautiful little boys now. I did all of this while I was in the clinic. I needed this to get the drug dealers and the drug users out of my life and get thing I value in my life that I refuse to lose to addiction. I have been in the clinic for about 6 years now and I am happy to say I am tapering off. I am going very slow. I was at 107mg and now I am down to 76mg. I been only going down 1 or 2mg a week. But I am getting there. So I know a lot of people are wondering why I shared my whole story for a review. I have just read a lot of post of saying how this program is horrible and it doesn't work. I wanted to show it does work if you really want it. The program does have some flaws like they can be more open to different work schedules. Also be more concerned about peoples employment because its their lively hood. But if you follow the rules you can get to the point where you only have to come once a month. Which shouldn't be that hard on your schedule. I stay at twice a month because with tapering I want to be able to adjust my dose as needed. Also I go for counseling once a month and I have always loved my counselors. I miss my old Counselor Melissa Barns she was an amazing person and made me feel like I had someone in my corner. But my new counselor is pretty awesome too. In the end this program is something you have to make work for you. But if you come in follow the program and stay away from the few bad apples that are in the program you CAN get your life back.

Thank you! With working together im turning my life back as was two years before using and all the years before as I just want to become myself once again!!

This place is a Ball and chain when you start.. But if you do it right, over time you report less and less. The goal of the program is not to replace your dealer.. if you want it to work you have to put in a lot of effort. It saved me from ending up in prison or dead.

It saved my life I'm very greatful for this program. The help is definitely there if you want it.

Im waiting and praying that a phone call will come tomorrow or next day. Im out of money, and out of time! I desperately need help here and they have been kind enough to call and instruct me on what to do in order to have an intake and start dosing. Im very familiar with methadone, it has helped me in the past to be a normal member of society. I detoxed and tried life without any meds. I did so-so for a bit but ended up back into pain killers. I despise my life right now and the way you have to live when using. I dont care about anything I used to love to do. I will never forget this horror. Methadone helps me live life and not want other drugs. Thanks all staff who work hard to help us regain our life and for a 2nd chance. Hope to see you very soon.
