I cannot stress enough how amazing this center is.Frank and Chris are incredible at what they do and how they treat people. The counselors such as Vicky,Sara,Jeff,Troy,Jenn,Rick,Punkty, gary and have helped me drastically. The support works Dayna,Gina,Julie,Joe,Pam and Gary are also very kind and amazing people. The overnight staff are also very kind. I cannot stress enough how good the nursing staff such as Kelly, Emily,Katie,and Tammy have also helped me so much. The executive secretary Carrie is very organized and is amazing at her job. When I came into this place I was a broken person and I look at myself now I'm still not a 100 percent but I'm definitely alot better than I was. I owe that not only to myself and family but also to metamorphosis center for change. If I could give this place 6 stars I honestly would. Also shout out to the kitchen staff I did not have one bad meal in my 45 day stay.

I can't say enough good things about my time at metamorphosis! It truly was transformative. I came in for the 2 week in-person and 2-week virtual program and ended up staying for a month in-person and I couldn't be happier with my decision! Everybody who works there is passionate, knowledgeable and most importantly, caring of all those who stay there. I truly felt safe from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. All of the counsellors are amazing but I do need to give a BIG shout out to Rick - don't let his gruff demeanour throw you off, that man has a heart of gold and did more for me in 1 month than years of therapy did. My biggest advice for those considering staying at the centre is do the work, dig deep knowing that you're supported and you'll be come out on the other side stronger than ever. The food there is great - the chefs are wonderful and caring! You won't starve while you're there. The days are generally busy but you'll find some downtime thrown in too which is really good in terms of setting you up for success when you leave. There are plenty of activities to do while you're there from yoga - taichi - gym, arts, etc. They do really tailor the treatment to your needs, something I truly appreciated! Finally, the amount of 1 on 1 support you get is amazing - counsellors, therapists, doctors and psychiatrists! The nurses are also wonderful and very attentive to your needs. I could keep going but I'll just end by saying that my only regret was not going sooner (though I think I went just when I needed to).

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. 🦋❤️🦋
