What a life changing experience I had walking through those doors of Soba. As scared and hesitant as I was it was the best decision I have ever made. From the minute I walked through the door the staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home. It was comforting to know that most of them had been through what I was going through and truly cared about our recovery. The clinicians and counselors were knowledgeable and compassionate so it was easy to talk to them about things I couldn’t imagine telling anyone. They made the sessions fun and full of laughs. Shout out to Mike - he was the glue that held the facility together . Anytime someone needed anything he came through whether it was getting someone items or clothing they may not have had , running out for food when deliveries didn’t show up , helping us navigate issues that were happening in our personal lives outside of the facility and spoiling us with his Italian treats that’s he ran all over the city to let us try. The chef was amazing and was open to requests for various diet needs we had. The facility was cozy and smaller than a large commercialized place so you didn’t feel lost in the groups and felt relaxed. It was professionally cleaned every day and was immaculate thanks to the cleaning team . Best of all, the small group of people I met all became friends. We truly all respected each other , listened to each other , were able to be ourselves and had many good laughs and cries. Once everyone has successfully completed their time we will all meet again. One thing I learned was to be successful and get over our fears and hesitations you need to do things that are uncomfortable for you . I am so glad I did and walked through those doors. I will forever be grateful for Soba!
