Testimonials

"The Glebe House program enabled me to build the foundation for sustainable recovery from substance abuse. The community-based therapeutic environment provided me with a “safe place” to begin the process of developing life-style changes imperative to continuing recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction.

Within the supportive haven of Glebe House I developed much-needed social skills through direct interaction with others in recovery and I was encouraged to explore new fields of endeavor, stimulating my capacity to engage with life in the context of the broader community.

In a very meaningful sense, Glebe House saved my life. I would not fail to recommend Glebe House to men who are serious about recovery from the life threatening affliction of substance abuse.”

“I arrived from Ngara Nura to Glebe House with a great fear of the unknown, but I had made inquiries inside and got good reports. I had made up my mind to give it a go anyway. I was impressed by the homeliness and cleanliness of the place. It was not what I expected. There is a very good structure there, 2 meeting a day seemed over the top, but after a while I got used to them and actually looked forward to seeing the guys. Learning to live a square-headed life was hard as was learning to live life with out drugs and alcohol.

I did classes at Glebe House in Yoga, Pilates, charcoal drawing and pottery. I did spring cleaning on Saturdays and a house outing on Sundays which I looked forward to. I found the staff at Glebe House to be very caring, friendly and helpful. After completing the program at Glebe House I did not want to leave.

I am now in a three-quarter way housing that the staff at Glebe House arranged for me. I come back to Glebe House Tuesday nights for in house meeting and tea. It has been a life changing experience for me. I fully recommend it.”
