I’ve been wanting to take care of my addiction problem for the longest time, and although I have done therapy in the past, it was nothing in comparison to Dunham House  I’m very grateful to be able to benefit from this program. I was provided with a safe place to stay at throughout these past months with help from a great counsellor and different workshops, I was given the opportunity to learn valuable tools and life skills that will help me regain control over my life.

I went to Dunham House for alcoholism. My life and my personal relationships were a disaster. I tried to stop drinking on my own, but every afternoon I realized that I could not keep my word not to drink. My life was collapsing, and I didn't want to live anymore. All my life I felt alone, judged, worthless, and completely lost. I didn't know where to start to rebuild it. Adding to that, I had no sense of belonging in this life. Clearly, I didn't like who I saw when I looked in the mirror; at the same time, I was experiencing depression and anxiety. I took the help that my family offered without thinking twice. I found out about Dunham House through a recommendation. I applied, was accepted, and started treatment in less than a month. My experience in treatment was very good. I was at Dunham for 6 months and, although it sounds like an eternity, it was a fair amount of time for the beginning of my healing and growth process. The classes provided to me were rich in tools to deal with emotions and to know the triggers of my addictions. The in-person therapy with my counselor was a great help to begin my inner healing and learn to be patient and gentle with myself. The yoga classes and exercises sowed the idea of ​​connecting with my body and starting new healthy habits. Let's not to forget the therapy with the horses! beautiful experience. Part of my treatment occurred during the summer, and I was able to enjoy the river, pond, and outdoor activities. I took my treatment as a retreat. I opened up fully to the program, and was in for an awakening, I started making changes in my life, and connecting with myself. The program at Dunham House gave me the tools to go out and make better decisions in my life. The staff have a professional and gentle approach. I am so grateful for their services and for being a part of my rebirth.

My stay at Dunham House was one with many challenges and rewards. The six months seemed like a long time frame at first, but the daily structure, facilities, housemates, and staff made my stay fly by. The councillors and staff members were present whenever I needed them; and the material taught was useful and insightful. I very much looked forward to the lectures as they were informative and well structured. Within the six month period not only did I learn and restructure my day, but I learned to play the drums, worked creatively to create my portfolio, and found my next living/working environment. Out of the many rehabs I've been to, this one is definitely the best structured, and the facilities had everything I needed. I would definitely recommend Dunham House to others for inpatient care.

In the mind of an addict, everything is about living in the moment, as you don’t care to think about the future. This led me to a very dark path. I don’t know what was worse; not being able to cope, so desperately wanting to quit using, constantly telling myself “maybe this time will be different", or being so drugged out of your mind to the point where you can barely function. The only focus of an addict in active addiction is to find the next high to create a false reality to escape the misery that reality entailed. When I was only 12 years old, I began acting out and drinking alcohol, and by 13 I began smoking weed and the drinking started to occur more, until I couldn’t even function and should’ve probably gotten my stomach pumped. I also began harming myself at 13 years old. I still remember wearing beaded bracelets up to my elbows to hide the scars on my arms. My scars used to taunt me, but after many years they have finally shown me strength. I was ashamed of my scars as often reactions were to “hide/cover them.” I felt more ashamed of my mental health and everybody was equating my mental health to simply grief and anxiety. Over many years, I went to private therapists, tried several medications, and even admitted myself to psychiatric wards but as time went on, the state of my mental health did nothing but decline and my drug usage increased. I genuinely believed that there was no hope, and my life was doomed for misery. Taking time off from "life" just to focus on mental wellness is not something that is often taken seriously as the individual is seen to be “lazy” or “not trying.” Let me tell you, spending six months at Dunham House was the best decision I have ever made for myself. It was an incredible journey from start to finish. It wasn't always rainbows and sunshine, but I learnt to "avoid, avoiding" in order to deal with the things that haunted my soul so I could learn to love and rediscover myself. It has been the hardest and scariest leap of faith I have ever taken, especially when I felt empty and lifeless, existing was a challenge within itself, and everything was overwhelming. Even something that seems so easy and mundane to some, may be terrifying and overwhelming for others. Addiction is a daily battle, but I am trying my damn hardest to fight through the barriers of my mental illness and addiction, and it has been worth it every single day. Growth can be very uncomfortable, but that also means that you are evolving, healing and bettering yourself. Nothing in life comes easy, but the outcome is so worth it. With the support of Dunham House, I was able to get myself out of the multiple holes I had dug myself into, I was able to see a doctor about drug rehabilitation and going back on my medications. People were finally listening to my story and taking me seriously, but I still had to self-advocate as you are the only one that knows what’s going on your head. I was able to learn to be my genuine self through a variety of different avenues such as informative and insightful workshops, counselling, art, music, equestrian therapy, and my personal favourite, spending time in the beautiful scenery and nature that Dunham offers. I really appreciated the diversity in the opportunities that were offered, in addition to the free time in which I was able to learn to find new hobbies to replace the time I would have spent using drugs and alcohol. I am now approaching a year and a half without any drugs or alcohol and I have never felt better. I am so grateful for all the gifts of sobriety. I have been presented with opportunities I never thought were even possible because of how much of my heart and soul I have put into my recovery. Dunham House helped me turn far-fetched dreams into attainable aspirations. Dunham House changed my life. I am so grateful for my support system at Dunham House. Thank you for not giving up on me, even when I appeared to be acting “crazy” and felt like a lost cause. Addiction and mental illness isn’t a cookie cutter disease in which it presents itself in the same ways in each individual, like the common cold or flu. I do hope some may follow in my footsteps and share their story as the more information that is out there, the better it is, and the less overwhelming it may become for people as they know that they are not alone and not the only ones experiencing the same things. Be proud of the small accomplishments because that is what will get you by. I’m so proud of anybody who has their own mental illness story and is still fighting, because let me tell you, it is not easy. No matter how hard you try, the past cannot be changed and the future is unknown, all that is certain is this very moment right now - what are you going to do with this moment right now because you can't get it back. Approach recovery with honesty, open-mindedness and willingness, and extraordinary outcomes become significantly more attainable. Thank you Dunham House, for believing in me, and providing me the opportunity to create a new beautiful life for myself and giving me chance at hope again. "Pain is inevitable, but it is what you do with it that matters"
