Dear Manor House Staff;
When I
realized I needed help with my alcoholism, I
didn't know where to turn. All I knew was I
couldn't continue living that way. I was
initially drawn to your web site and within
minutes, I was physically talking to a
person who understood my dilemma. Needless
to say, I was emotionally overwhelmed with
the caring voice on the other end of the
line. And within two weeks, I started my
transition back to normality.
I was ready to be strictly governed and what
I found was the best group effort from all
the staff that made me feel comfortable
about how I felt. That in itself was worth
the expense. The program was rigorous and
structured but easy to grasp. It was
presented with a tremendous amount of
information and knowledge. Every person,
book, meeting, session, etc. had a
particular purpose directly effecting how my
progression went. Even the meals were
inspiring! I had learned more about myself
in just 28 days. When I returned to
Pennsylvania, my select support group was
astonished with my personality change. I
can only thank you for all that you have
given me. I can live now, the way I was
meant to live.
My sincerest hope is that everyone who
participates in the Manor House Program
recognizes the potential they have when they
complete. I know that without it, I would
have struggled for many needless years with
an undetermined outcome.
Please accept this letter of recommendation
to give to all that need the help, caring,
and knowledge you have given me.
A Friend Forever,
Mr Kipp..
I write
this letter today to provide the Manor House
and its readers with my testimony and
feelings of the services and results of
those executed.
Earlier
this year, I recognized a real need and
desire to reach out and ask for help. I was
guided to the Manor House. I received over
and above attention and was impressed with
the knowledge of the counselors and the fact
that all the staff members really do care.
And it show.
I would
highly recommend the Manor House Rehab
Center as a worthy facility and realized
they may have actually saved my life.

Dear
Manor House;
The Manor House helped me out 100%. I have
been in two previous rehabs before. They
taught me nothing and one was the largest in
the United States. The things that I
learned and the ways that I have learned
them put so many unanswered questions in
place at the Manor House. I came there not
knowing what to expect. I was thinking a
big building, lots of other clients and
different counselors through out the day.
It was nothing like that. When I told their
would be only three in my class including
myself. Even then, I really didn't know
what to expect. Having only one basic
counselor at a time throughout the whole
day, to me was huge. As we went through the
day, learned and talked about new things,
you were talking to the same counselor who
gave you the information. So to me, you got
to feel comfortable with asking questions.
He could see when you didn't understand and
stop and say it a different way. Also, with
Paul sharing his past experiences, very
early on when I was there, made me know I
was talking with someone like me. Same with
Bill and Bill Jr. and sometimes Jim and Joe
also shared their experiences with me. It
was like you were always having a meeting
with other alcoholics.
One of One individual sessions helped me
out the most I think. By talking to
someone, just you and him, made me feel like
I could open up and tell the truth. I had
been lying so many times before to myself
and too others. Telling the truth was
something I had never did before. To me,
the one on one time was really important in
recovery. I always felt better after a one
on one. No body judged me or told me I was
wrong, they just nodded as they remembered
them doing the same thing and smiled that we
had all been sort of stupid together. It
never seemed stupid at the time, but as we
examined it, looked back on it, and smiled,
we all knew it was. There are just some
things you feel more comfortable saying to
just one person. The group was also
important because I got to hear how people
dealt with their problems and if it worked
or not. Most ways don't work out to well on
your own. Mine didn't.
One on one helped me out the most I think,
but talking to others, and even some also
one on one, just you and him, made me feel
like I could open up. That was something I
really never had done before. To me, the
one on one time was so important and I could
have never got that from a large rehab
place. There just is some things you don't
want others to know and I just felt more
comfortable saying it to only one person.
The group is important also because I got to
hear their problems and how they dealt with
their it and if it worked or not.
My recommendation;
I have been to three rehabs now. The only
one that worked was Manor House. I am
clean, I am sober and I am returning to life
on life's terms. Not my own. I am no longer
alone. I have found what I was looking
for. I have heard some people actually
being thankful for being an alcoholic. When
I asked why. They said without reaching the
bottom of the pit, you never would know what
it was like to see daylight. I now
understand and before, I didn't.
