What‘s the Buzz

on Pyramid? I am so grateful for Pyramid Healthcare and their staff. I honestly do believe this place has saved my life. I walked in the doors of Lehigh Valley June 2019 not even sure if recovery was for me. A part of me still felt I could never be more than just an addict. I thank God that I stayed when I felt like leaving and that I participated when I felt like isolating. Because of this program and their caring staff, I know that I deserve recovery. Thank you Pyramid. – Megan S.

I am very proud to be completing

my first rehab and I am glad I

was here. I couldn’t have asked

for a better counselor. Thank you

to everyone here. – Austin G.

I would like to thank Pyramid Healthcare in Catasauqua for

saving my life! I came in feeling broken, worthless and hopeless. With the help of all staff, they helped me rebuild my life. I was at the point

where I hated myself but with all staff and peers, I am able to stand tall, hold my head high and tell myself that I love who I am becoming. I would recommend Pyramid Healthcare to anyone that is struggling. It will save your life. – Amanda C.

This was my first time

in rehab. There

were ups and downs.

The techs and

counselors were

great. I was able to

learn a lot about

myself. Now I am able

to start my recovery.

– Matt P.

I came to Pyramid broken, addicted, confused and really not knowing who I was

and if I really wanted to stop using. What I did know was that I wanted to stop

hurting and causing so much pain to the people who loved me. The first few days I

listened and took suggestions on how to release what kept me trapped. I shared. I

shared around people who I thought were strangers but I did it because this is what

the people that had multiple years clean did. The more I shared, the more confident

I became, the more realistic life without drugs became, and that’s when all those

strangers became my brothers- the family who understood exactly how I felt.

– Jose C.

Pyramid is such a blessing to me.

Because of the staff and my counselor, I now live my life not

defined by my past. I now can say that I

love who I am. Pyramid has given me the tools that I needed

to live life on life’s terms. I am forever

grateful that God gave me Pyramid. – Thomas L.

Pyramid Langhorne was a

very helpful experience. I

would recommend it to

anyone struggling with

addiction. – Christopher S.

Pyramid Allentown was recommended for

me. PHP and IOP have been very

important in my recovery. What I have

learned from group sessions is

invaluable. I will carry my knowledge a

long way! Thank you – one day at a time.
