Letter from former resident:

Before I came to Peak House I was really scared, I was going to change my mind about coming but I thought that I should just give it a chance. The day I came to Peak House I wanted to go home, because it was uncomfortable. I didn't know anybody here and I felt like I didn't fit in, but if you give it at least 2 weeks then you will feel so much better about being here. The youth counsellors that are here are really respectful, they are here 24 hours a day if you have a problem, the residents are respectful too. Peak House is really helpful, you can learn a lot from here. I personally learned a lot from Peak House during the short time I've been here. We have lots of fun on the weekends, we go hiking or go play pool, karaoke, etc… it's a lot of fun. Everybody here can be a lot of fun to be around. If you put your mind to being here time really flies by, before you know it eight weeks will be gone. It's an awesome feeling to be clean, I've never felt any better than this.?LizLetter from Andy:?To the people who are willing to make a change in their life: Before I came to Peak House I thought it was going to be a hospital where if I made the staff mad I would get beat on. When I did get to Peak House it was a house - the residents and staff were really welcoming, you go out for physical fitness, you eat really good and on the weekends you go out and do fun things. But it's not all fun and games, the program is hard, and it's not easy to live with a bunch of strangers for eight weeks. It is also very difficult to get along and learn to trust them, but you will progress in a fast period of time. In most cases you will meet a couple of people who will be lifetime supportive friends. The first week or two will go slow but after that, before you know it you will be commenced and on your way home. So make sure you get as much as you can out of the program before it's too late.?Good Luck,?Andy

 This is where I am , this is where I’ll be, being the author of my new life that I’m looking 4 doin’ it 4 me myself and nobody else. I learn new things about myself and others that I never knew before. Creating a new beginning, learning from my mistakes and being able 2 look at them as growing up, changing my attitude and as a learning process. Being born again, taking baby steps and also being a part of the Wolf Pack. Knowing what’s right and wrong, havin’ clear thoughts, lovin’ myself for you I was, who I am and who I’ll be. Havin’ relationships 4 the love and trust, not 4 the drugs and sex. Taking responsibilities 4 my own actions other than pointing them at other people. Letting my emotions out by cryin’ and talkin’ not keepin’ them inside goin’ out and usin’ or hurtin’ others and myself. Knowing that it really is okay 2 have different ways of lookin’ at things from my own perspective and knowin’ that it’s okay 2 have our own opinions and believes. Makin’ my dream come true. Being respectful and honest 2 others as well as myself. THANKS PEAK HOUSE
