Dr. Livingstone and Drug Detox

Drug & alcohol detox needs the courage shown by Dr. David Livingstone

In this week's Novus Medical Detox Center success newsletter, the story behind the famous words, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?”, is set out.  Steve Hayes shows how the courage of two men ignited the world and solved one of the 19th Century's mysteries.

Mr. Hayes then explains how the courage of Stanley and Livingstone is like the courage shown daily by patients of Novus who are escaping the trap of drugs and alcohol.  Here is the success story of one of these brave people.

 

My stay was one of the most positive experiences of my life.  The professional staff detoxed me in 7 days from a raging 70 pill/day, IV opiate addiction.  I am amazed that this was accomplished with such a minimum of discomfort.  The Novus staff has a level of care and professionalism that is unsurpassed.

I give 100% of the staff an A+, however it was Montana that I heard on the radio that actually got me to try Novus (860am).

The food was better than my wildest expectations, the kitchen staff love their job and clients.  This was the homiest facility I've ever experienced.  I felt so at home here, while in withdrawals.  I can't imagine a more comfortable facility.  Everyone was so nice to me, staff and clients.

For me I am certain this experience was so positive that a chapter in my life is about to begin that I have to describe as exciting and positive with growth well beyond anything in my past.

This is the first recovery that I feel so incredibly positive about that why would anyone ever want to relapse.

The next important stage of my recovery will be at Suncoast.  Again, I have never felt more positive about my future success and happiness!

I am hopeful that I can spend the rest of my life happy, sober and helping others recover from the hell I have known.

Novus and staff, thank you for giving my life back."
