"My life has changed so much since I've been on the program. I am able to hold a job without being physically sick. My thoughts and lifestyle are much to be desired. My head is so much clearer. I struggle to stay clean each day - and methadone helps me fight that bad disease."

"I'm very grateful for methadone. I don't crave drugs anymore.  I feel like a person again."

“The Clinic has been a great help. I've been on the program for three months and have been clean since.”

"It keeps me away from the bad people that affect my life. It makes me feel better about my situation."

"Well it has been very helpful with my addictions. I am no longer looking around for my habit. I've saved money and have not been wasting any more. My family is grateful for me being at home more."

"I have been attending to Clinic 528 for over one year - and this has changed my life for the better."

"Before I was aware of the support provided at Clinic 528 - I was spending over $300 a day on my addiction.This money was often not my own and consequently I caused a tremendous calamity for my family.

Now on methadone I spend five dollars a day and I have no cravings or any compulsion to use. The stability of methadone allows one to leave a normal life and in my opinion - is the only safe and sensible way to recover."

“Since 2001, Clinic 528 has given me the opportunity to correct a previous life filled with intoxicating drugs.

I now work six days a week and follow a routine day by day - without the use of mind and mood altering drugs. I support myself and my mood increases positively.

Recovery is possible - thanks to this program, Dr. Judson and the staff at Clinic 528.”

"My mind has become increasingly easier since coming to this Clinic. I don't have to worry about shared needles - or causing crime to get drugs. It is definitely a positive place."

"The Clinic has given my life back to me. I am drug-free.  I feel better every day. - Thanks."

"If it wasn't for this place - I would be on the road to death. I've seen my life go downhill since becoming addicted to Oxy's. My life quickly disintegrated to nothing. This place has given me hope in the knowledge that I can - and will get better."

"More mentally stable - because my full-time job getting pills is over. I have more time to do normal things."

"I have quit all drugs, pills etc. I feel like a new man - better in every way. My family and work life are great!

"This is a great Clinic - the staff really care about people!"

"I been able to stay clean each here - and no where else - for such an extended period of time."

"I arrived at Clinic 528 at 115 pounds - and heaviLY addicted to opiates. Since I've been here for two years - I'm up to 165 pounds - not using - and supporting myself properly."

"It has got me clean off the morphine. I slipped a few times - but other then that - it gave me back my life. It's the people who abuse it, that sometimes get me bummed."

"I am no longer dependent on the opiates. This has improved my life in many ways. I feel better physically, emotionally, financially etc. My life is now calm and more stable.

I have stopped associating with people who are still using and leading a crazy lifestyle. I generally feel better about myself as a whole - and I am able to live a more healthy lifestyle."

"I have found the Clinic 528 to be a lifesaver for me. 

Without it I’d have had no place to turn."

"I almost was terminated from treatment due to poor attendance to the Clinic. My car was repossessed and I lived far.

Now I'm a 10 minute walk from the place that saved my life - and am grateful to all staff and doctors for their hard work and dedication to the menace of opiate addiction."

"My life has changed dramatically since attending this Clinic. I was so hooked on Oxy's that was my priority. I travel from Windsor to attend this Clinic. It has helped me immensely."

"There are many ways that my life has changed. The most important being that not everything in my life revolves around drug use.

Before I came to Clinic 528 - I could never really go anywhere - or do anything - because I was using so often - I would have to be constantly looking for more.

Now I am free of that burden. I can go out for the day without constantly thinking - 'Where can I use, when can I use, I need money to use.'

Another significant change is the amount of money I have saved - so much since being clean. It's nice to be able to have money when I need it - or to buy a gift for my son sometimes."

"I was hooked on Oxy's for eight years. Every day was a hunt. Every day-all day was committed to making sure I had pills.

My life has changed enormously! I feel like I am in control of my life again. Thank you Clinic 528."

"Some of the ways my life has changed since attending the Clinic are: I no longer spend a lot of time chasing pills; I am better off financially and have a better relationship with my family; I also have more self-esteem and a better sence of self-worth.

I am able to make plans for the future - and feel I have a chance at accomplishing my goals."

"There have been many ways that my life has changed.  For starters - I no longer have to stick a needle in my arms make myself feel better. Actually my life has changed dramatically. I am now living back at home with my family - and getting my education at Wheable. I now have a chance to live normally and happily."

"My life is so much better now - more money and less problems. It's been seven months since I touched anything - mostly because of this program."
