“My stay at De Novo was good. I felt at home soon upon arrival. Friendships were made with staff, counsellors, and peers immediately. I was given time to adjust to my new surroundings and felt no pressure to participate right away. The counselor appointed to me was perfect. He was well trained and educated in the field of recovery and we soon become good friends. My one-on-one meetings were excellent. The room assigned to me was comfortable and perfectly situated as I have an ongoing health condition. When I became sick, I was taken to a doctor and later a hospital. My experience at De Novo was good and I am happily on the road to recovery.”
