If you were to see me on the street you would never know I am a recovering dr*g add*ct. I look like the typical 32 yr old guy, no problems. Reading all the awful reviews of this place, I HAD to put my 2 cents in. My experience was not at all like the others. I was freed from an addiction that was killing me, and slowly killing my loved ones. I have had many o.d.'s, (overdose) and came very close to dying. I have had 3 coke seizures. I have been in 4 car wrecks, one a head on collision and I was thrown into a ditch. I spent 3 weeks at Mass General Hospital in the Intensive Care Unit. I was hooked on methadone for many years. H, coke, benzodiazepines, a daily all consuming obsession that drives the add*ct for more more more, no matter how. Even if it means killing somebody to get more dr*gs. I almost did. My addiction drove me to stab a friend 3 times in the chest. He survives, THANK GOD. \r

All this I tell you not as a ""war story"" or ""look what I have done"", I tell you this because the Arbour Hospital freed me from all this. I was admitted there 4 times. By the 4th time, I had spent well over 6 months there. I admit, it was hell each time I had to go back, but with each day it got better. It got better because I knew I never would have to feel the way I felt the day I came in. I cannot say enough good things about all the Doctors, Counselors, and Staff at this hospital. They have saved SOULS! THEY SAVED MY SOUL. One day at a time...\r
