To all the staff at Oceans Rehab I would like to thankyou for all the valuable skills you have taught me during my stay at Oceans.

I entered your facility depressed and suicidal without any hope for the future. I had been taking antideppresants for over 15 years without ever beleiving there were any other alternatives. Through the approach you take ( Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) I learned to heal open wounds, drop past baggage, restructure my thinking patterns, and move towards a promising future.

Each of your staff had a hang in my recovery.

Megan: You helped me to learn to trust and feel safe, which enabled me to start my work on my recovery. You save my life.

Justin: Your EXTRAORDINARY abilities in group therapy are beyond anything else I ever experienced. You have a gift and I am very fotunate to have had you as my therapist.

Will: Our one on one time strenthened all the new skills I learned and helped me discover myself again. I want you to know that I do Bikram Yoga everyday because of your encouragement.

Gail: You taught me so much about black and white thinking. I would never have learned so much about the right and left brain without you.

Dr. Harrad: You gave me hope that one day I will be able to drop the antideppresant forever. I'm currently taking half the dosage and look forward to being pill free.

It has been over 4 months since I have left Oceans and I use my new skills daily. I am a changed person and stronger everyday because of my journey at Oceans. Keep up the good work. My family and I thanks you.

I remember before I first came to Oceans, I thought my life was hopeless, I wanted to end it rather than to continue on. When I first came in I could not look anybody in the eye for all the shame I felt.

Now, after having left Oceans I know that the road ahead will be bumpy sometimes but it will be the most amazing journey I could ever ask for.

Oceans Rehab has taught me how I can live, laugh and enjoy the good times in life and work through the bad. If you are reading this, all I can say is if you put your trust in the amazing people working here and follow their guidance, you will come out the other end and be healthy, happy and whole with the tools to do anything in life.

I had never heard of CBT before I arrived at Oceans. It's the best thing that could ever have happened to me. During my 6 week stay I discovered myself all over again and I realized what a great person I really am. The wonderful staff at Oceans helped me every step of the way, always believing in me and making me believe in myself. Thank you so much Justin and Will for giving me my life back, I am truly grateful, my family thanks you too.

Life is a journey, not a destination ... I can't believe how much I learned and where I am at today. It is a miricle. I am very grateful that I came to Oceans and met the amazing people who really helped me to where I am today. I believed in myself and the people who took care of me at Oceans, and one day had an awakening. Life is not always easy, it is a challenge, but we don't have to make it more difficult by neglecting ourselves. Thanks to the team at Oceans, today I am starting a new life with the best to come and allowing my dreams to come true. There is no glory in suffering, only suffering!

With Love,

My recent stay at Ocean's was one of the best decisions I've made. What I learned during my four week stay has been invaluable. I feel that I am now on the right track, and much better prepared to face whatever life brings my way. I can't say enough about the therapists, they are truly skilled at making you take a deep look at yourself and helping you overcome your problems. The limited number of clients allows Oceans to look at the individual; they recognize that no two individuals are alike and they treat you accordingly. If I had to recommend one treatment facility it would be Oceans.

Thank you for everything you are & what you believe in, what you give, what you share. Thank you for the opportunity of encouraging my daughter in her journey to a real life. A life with love & respect & trust for her. Thank you. Thank you.

I just received this internet connection bkconnection.com/thefivesecrets & would like to share it w/ you. It is beautiful & dear to me.

I also would like to share how a song meant so much to me as a mother going to pick up her daughter, a daughter taking a new step in her life. The song is by Bucky Covington "I'll Walk". I am not the most computer savvy & don't know how to send it to you as a song. I encourage you to take the opportunity to hear this song. When I heard this song about 3x yesterday, I cried each time & continued to tear inside each time I thought of the song. It was a good cry, a cry of powerful emotions w/ the relief & pride & faith & respect & confidence of letting T.U. "walk". Thank you again, w/ love,

My stay at Oceans was therapeutic and a healing experience for me. The treatment helped me to process my post trauma and issues in order to gain confidence and self esteem which was suppressed throughout my childhood and adult life. The staff was very supportive and nurturing during the process of healing. I'm glad I completed my journey because experiencing life and love is a priceless journey.

If I follow what has been taught from their work, their teachings, their wisdom, and their encouragement, I will be successful in life. Embrace your true self and join me in the 2%!

There are no words substantial enough to describe properly what Oceans did for me. When I first arrived I was broken and scattered, my own worst enemy. My family was ready to call me a write-off.

I was a drug addicted, alcoholic, out-of-control monster, with bi-polar disorder and 17 years of negative self-destructive behaviour, self-medicating with anything and everything. I was dead inside and not very far from dead. Physically as well, distractions of any and every kind to avoid dealing with the tornado of destruction I thrived in. I hated myself for who I had become.

Six weeks of work, digging out my closet, healing my wounds from my internal battle, learning about myself and how to control my life through understanding myself. Letting go of my past and learning to love and trust myself for the first time ever. It honestly felt like I was learning to walk again. Leaving was like being reborn into this world with a clean slate and a new brain.

I was given the tools I needed to keep me out of my insanity and to live a healthy balanced life as a fully functioning capable adult.

Oceans gave me the gift of learning for myself and in my own time the missing piece to my puzzle. That void I just couldn't fill ... filled it. It amazes me how all of this happened. Surrendering and coming was the smartest thing I have ever done or maybe the only smart thing I have done in my entire life. The biggest step in the right direction is the hardest but so worth it.

It is a positive atmosphere and all the staff knows exactly what they are doing and they do it extremely well. I wouldn't change anything for the world. One day I hope to be able to help others like Oceans helped me. Thank you for guiding me on the path and giving me the tools to save my own life.
