Hi
Everyone,
We
are five weeks into operation. We
continue to see incredible things when people are
able to stop taking unnecessary and unwanted drugs
or stop drinking alcohol. We have
been seeing people go from barely being able to
walk when they come to Novus to playing basketball
five days and no drugs later!
At
Novus, we know that for many people doing a detox,
they may be able to safely stop taking the drug
but the problem they were trying to solve with
drugs is still there. We are
very proud of the fact that many of our patients
are coming to Novus determined to do only a detox
program but, after being released from the
influence of the drug and with the proper
enlightenment, are leaving Novus and going
directly into rehabilitation programs.

From A Novus
Patient |
"It has been a
class-A-operation, from the facilities to the
skilled and very intuitive nursing staff, to the
counselors who will do anything for you. I have
never been involved in such a professional program
that runs so smoothly as if they were family. I'm
retired military and have been involved in quite a
few programs so I've seen my
share.
Everyone went out of their
way to help me with whatever I needed even if it
wasn't related to my program. As to the
food, don't touch or change a thing. You are
very blessed to have the cooking staff you
have.
The
program made me re-examine my whole way of
life.
From changing to holistic medicine to get
off all the drugs I take on a daily basis, to how good it feels
to have clearness of mind and control back in my
life.
It is the first day of the rest of my
life."

A Peaceful Detox Environment

Our
patients are really enjoying the fact that we are
on 3.2 acres and they are able to go outside
for fresh air, enjoy their meals outside, or just
relax on one of our patios.
