“We’re all just walking each other home”
– Ram Das
“You were such a comfort to me when we were trying to get my brother & sisters-in-law in to treatment. It was a time in my life that I was completely unprepared for. Never saw it coming and was only sure of the fact that we needed to get them help. Just the sound of your voice made me feel better……Thank you for being there! My brother and I were talking about you just recently and we both agreed that you are one of the rare people you meet in life who has the ability to make people instantly feel like they matter and are easy to be around and create a bond with. High praise from him, who rarely expresses those kind of sentiments about anyone — Thanks again!“

“Thank you for ALL you’ve done! My wife & I are now back on track because of you. You came in to complete chaos & cleaned it all up. All of the professionals you provided us, lawyer, real estate agent & you liaising with our creditors as well as your accompanying us to court allowed us to clarify finances so private treatment would be accessible for us both. Couldn’t have done it without you!!”

“I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am that you never gave up on me. After weeks & hours of you coaching me through text & many phone calls I was finally able to accept that I needed inpatient alcohol detox & treatment. After completing treatment at the facility you suggested & maintaining early sobriety with the help of your case management team, I celebrated 2 years on June 15 & my wife & kids were there to see it!! You have helped each one of us heal. We all want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us a solid foundation to rebuild & repair our family.“

“After speaking to nearly a dozen helplines & treatment centres I was more confused than when I started. You listened to me rant & cry. You were not judgemental. I felt like an angel was sent to carry me through this nightmare & it was you. The time & preparation that you put in to our daughters intervention & you personally escorting her to treatment, we believe is the reason we have our daughter back. She’s now back in school & attending meetings regularly.”

“I contacted E V O L V E while I was still in treatment. I was terrified to leave the safe cocoon I had been in for over 2 months. Patricia was able to take the reigns & show me the way. I was picked up at the facility, escorted to the airport & finally home. The love & support I was shown removed my anxiety & I felt safe. Over the next few weeks I was able to make the transition from treatment to being an active participant in my own “sober” life. The hours you listened & supported me will never be forgotten.”

“I was referred to Evolve Sobriety through a friend who had good results dealing with Patricia. I was skeptical about talking to a stranger about these very personal matters. The shame & anger I felt was overwhelming. As I began to describe my feelings, I quickly understood that Patricia was not a stranger. She knew exactly what I was going through. All of it. She recommended a woman’s only facility because of my history. I didn’t even know that existed! It’s been over a year since that first call to Evolve & I’m still going strong! You truly saved my life.”

“I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH PATRICIA FOR SEVERAL YEARS. HER WORK ETHIC AND PASSION ARE JUST SOME OF HER MANY QUALITIES. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND PATRICIA FOR HER HOLISTIC APPROACH TO RECOVERY. SHE NOT ONLY GUIDES THE ADDICT BUT CONSIDERS THE FAMILY AND PARTNERS OF THE ADDICT AND WORKS WITH THEM DURING THE RECOVERY PROCESS. PATRICIA HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN DEALING WITH VARIOUS CHALLENGES DURING DIFFERENT STAGES OF HER CLIENTS RECOVERY. MY CONFIDENCE WOULD BE IN HER HANDS.”
