I recently graduated the 30day program at metamorphosis and all I can say is my life has completely changed. I walked through that side door a broken, defeated version of myself feeling like the biggest loser in life. Full of shame, with no self- worth or self- respect. I left with my head held high, loving my life and who I am. The authentic me had emerged. I was willing to listen, willing to do the work, I focused on myself, dug deep and used the tools provided. Rick my primary counselor helped me along my journey. Through his experience and vulnerability I shared my experiences and finally allowed myself to be vulnerable. Rick taught me the word perservance. Although it was me who did the work if it wasn't for Rick and his ability to make me feel safe, capable, worthy and deserving I wouldn't be where I am today. I can not begin to thank everyone at Metamorphosis. Each and every person there has touched my life in one way or another. From doing my mirror work ( thank you Jenn) to sharing mom stuff (thank you Sarah) to learning how to ground myself when I'm struggling with emotions (thank you Troy) to letting me process aloud at the desk and just listening (thank you Jeff) to allowing my inner child to flourish (thank you Vicky) you have all touched my heart in some way. I would also like to thank the night staff, the nursing staff, the support workers, the cooks and the house keepers and anyone else I have left out. I'm so grateful to have had this experience with all of you. I miss you all so much already. But it's not goodbye it's see you later. To whomever may be reading this and is looking for help... if I could offer you one piece of advice..... you deserve a chance to find the authentic version of you, so don't wait any longer. You are braver then you think ❤️
First off, I'd like to thank Frank & Chris for starting such a wonderful place to help those in
First off, I'd like to thank Frank & Chris for starting such a wonderful place to help those in need. I stayed a month at Meta after many, many years of physical abuse, and a debilitating car accident that just pushed me over the edge. The facilities are clean, the food is amazing, the nurses are all wonderful (shout out to Tam Tam the night nurse, and Sedonia, you ladies made me feel so welcome!). They give each patient 2 councilors, a primary and a secondary. My primary was Vicky. She may seem a little rough around the edges, but that woman has a heart of gold. She was and still to this day, is there whenever I need her. Just a phone call away. Jeff, my secondary, is the easiest person I've ever spoken to. I told him my entire life's story, which I had never shared in full with ANYONE, let alone some guy I'd just met. He is one in a million, and anyone who gets either of them should count themselves lucky. You are also given a doctor, psychiatrist, and psychotherapist. They match you with who they think you will vibe with the most. All 3 of mine were dead on. If you do happen to get someone you don't click with, just ask, and you will be assigned a new one. The centre tailors the program to each person's individual needs. They cover everything, mentally, spiritually, and body. 2 nights a week, they do NA or AA. These are not mandatory for those who do not vibe with the whole God thing, so they have a separate class run by usually Jeff, which is based on your own spiritual beliefs. This place is like no other rehabilitation center I've ever heard of or encountered. They actually care about YOU as an individual, as opposed to their success rates (which is why I beleive their success rate is SO HIGH) I'd like to add a few special mentions to councilors who were not mine, but still helped me in ways I will never forget. Rick, the lead councilor, is an amazing, no bullshit type of guy, and I think we need more people like him in this world. Troy, even though he was off sick for a week and a half while I was there, ran some of the best groups ever and helped me with some paperwork I didn't quite understand. Sarah is just an angel, always there with a smile on her face, willing to help you with anything you need. Gina, the new intern, is just amazing. She brought us to the beach countless times, and we had some wonderful chats. Jenn had some amazing classes as well, and I learned quite a bit from her. I now need to go purchase copper rods to read people's energy circles 😅 that class was so cool! There are a couple more who's names I can't think of off the top of my head, but I love you all, and thank you again, from the bottom of my heart! I would also like to thank Adam the maintenance guy for escorting us to Tim Hortons on our daily walks, and for the great conversations we always had, as well as Kerri at the front desk who greeted me with a smile every morning. Also, Teresinha in the kitchen, who was always praying for us, Kwan and Richard the chefs for the amazing food and conversation, and Joyce. And Elizabeth, I hope she's healing well from her injury. I miss her bumping the 2Pac at 8 a.m., lol. I will definitely be back as an alumni for the BBQ, not as a patient. I want to finish off by saying there is not a single person on staff who you can't relate to on some level. This makes it feel like home. Thank you again, Frank and Chris, for opening this amazing place. I am forever grateful to you for giving me my life back. 🦋❤️🦋

This facility 100% changed my life for the better! I am forever indebted to the amazing staff for their care and compassion while helping me deal with some very difficult issues. Thank you all for your guidance and friendship! Big hugs 💗
Rick, and everyone else, needs a raise:) This place helped me turn my life around and helped me
Rick, and everyone else, needs a raise:) This place helped me turn my life around and helped me find my hope. I entered those doors so lost that all I knew is I needed somewhere that would help me find myself again. I am better than the version of myself that I thought my addiction took, and that's an insane thing to think of. I believe the universe took me there, it put me where I needed to be with exactly who I needed to be with, staff and clients alike. If you become a client of Rick's, he has a dress code of high socks and shorts. ;) Thank you so much for giving me everything I have and need to tackle this thing called life!! I'm winning now, no one can break me but me. I can conquer the world thanks to those who brought me to life again♡ I love all of you, miss all of you and I hope whomever reads this when they need it finds this helpful! Judith♡♡
There are not enough words to describe how life changing my stay at metamorphosis was.. I found me
There are not enough words to describe how life changing my stay at metamorphosis was.. I found me finally after years of searching in all the wrong places. I was and am loved there by all staff, food was made to fuel the soul and the counsellors are immaculate. I could not have asked for better help to make every day now a blessing. I especially thank Rick and Sarah for helping me see that the version of myself they first met was only a version. They helped me save myself from past scars that still affected my day to day life. I found my people and learned to trust because of these two individuals. Rick is like a father to me now and Sarah always reminds me how special I am anytime I see or hear from her :). Chris and Frank accommodated my needs whenever I was struggling and always praised me for my improvements. Troy, Jeff, Vicky and Jenn helped me whenever I asked and were there anytime I needed someone. My new found family, you really are angels. Thank you so so so much Meta for being my safe place through all these rough years.
