In your own words, how has your I.V. treatments affected your well being and your personal/addictive behavior since your last treatment?

"Well, in many ways, (emotionally) it has made my family life better at least thus far. But, I honestly feel once I'm completely done with the program everything with my family I anticipate will go back to the way they were!!!"

"Honestly after going through rapid detox in the past and now this program twice, there is no comparison; I honestly felt if I hadn't gone through the IV treatments last year, I'd probably be dead by now."

"I feel this has made my be more open, communicative, honest, empathetic, caring person in every area and aspect of my life, and especially more patience and open-mindedness."

"I would love to volunteer tiem helping out in the clinic for Dr. Sisco and staff if ever needed."
MA, day 8

"I actually have nothing but good things to say. Staff was wonderful and I enjoyed all of the different treatments together - makes the time go by. I have noticed a serious sense of clarity and focus since I started this treatment and my cravings are almost non-existent."
TL, day 12

"This is my first substance abuse therapy. This experience is nothing less than a miracle opposed to cold-turkey. I can only say that this treatment has been powerful and very effective."
EF, day 10

"When I began the program, I was somewhat skeptical about how effective the IVs would be. After two weeks, my life has been a 180. I'm interested in the things that gave me pleasure before my alcohol use increased to such a high level. Last weekend I flew my helicopter for the first time in four months. I stay and watch my kids' baseball practice instead of going to the bar. I finally feel like I am living again."

"I did not drink, I haven't been this long without a drink in at least ten years. I woke up without pain or wanting to throw up, without guilt, regret, or shame. My face looks better and rested. I work better, feel better. I thought about drinking for a couple seconds, then it was gone."

"I feel calmer- desire/craving for alcohol is very low if any craving at all. The IV treatment made me feel the way I think non-alcoholic people must feel. If I think about drinking, it's just a thought on the outside that comes & leaves pretty quickly- before IV, the thought was inside & it never left."

"No cravings for alcohol. Cigarettes started to taste bad & stink. High level of concentration & energy."

"I feel upbeat. Even happy. Had a few thoughts about alcohol, but no real desire to purchase/consume. Sense of relief & more at peace with myself."

"I feel good for the first time in years. I love my new life so much."

"Today was a great day!! Lots of energy and I felt alive. I'm no longer enslaved to my past cravings and irritable self. I am no longer waiting for a chance to escape so I can use."

"I feel a confidence and a feeling of well being that I haven't had for as long as I can remember. Daily life seems no longer to be such an incredible challenge. I have no desire to run to alcohol. I have an inner peace that is very enjoyable. I thought life had to be a frightening experience."

"I had minimal sleep and I still had energy to focus and concentrate. I felt as if I was in prison, in bondage to my addiction no matter where I was or who I was with, the thought of using was always present. Thanks to Excel I am walking in victory, not in the darkness of addiction! Thanks for helping me see clearly. I love the freedom of not having the cravings."

"I feel for the first time in over 20 years that I am free. Free from alcohol. And this time there is no wagon to fall off of. Thank you for saving my life."

"I have used drugs for 20 years with cocaine and vicodin, lost 2 marriages, and worst of all I lost my soul. With IV drips and working in group, I have stayed clean and am filling the hole in my soul and getting back to life."

"This is my tenth day. For the first time I believe I can defeat my demons and get this monkey off my back."
