Health Upwardly Mobile Inc.( HUM), has an exceptional integrated health care team which has catered to my specific addiction care needs in a holistic way over the last 9 years. I highly recommend their many addiction, mental health and pain management services.

My disease of addiction progressed relatively slowly and caused my life to become unmanagable near the end of my working life. Initially I thought if I could just stop abusing alcohol all would be “normal” again. Even after being able to abstain from drinking I still felt anxious, directionless with a deep sense of shame. Dr. Hajela and his staff at HUM showed me that having addiction was not my fault. With their recovery plan consisting of one-on-one and group therapy and in-patient programs, I was able to understand and recognize addictive thinking, feelings and behaviour. Focusing on myself, my needs and feelings helped me get in touch with the real me. I will be forever grateful to all the wonderful people at HUM who made my recovery journey possible.

I spent approximately 1.5 years visiting Paige and Dr. Hajela at HUM and each visit was a great experience and really helped me learn more about myself. The office is very welcoming and peaceful and you are treated very well there. I always felt I could speak freely and say discuss items I may not with friends family or other. I would recommend this office to anyone going through any issue of addiction or other, I am grateful for my time there and what I learned. I truly appreciated their services and their respect for their clients. Thank you very much Paige.

I am a patient at HUM and have been for several years (6+/-). I would not hesitate to recommend them and share my experience with others.They are professional, experienced, educated and caring individuals who work together to provide me with consistent care. I’ve grown substantially since going through their assessment and continue to grow by attending facilitated group sessions as well as individual appointments with a Psychologist, Paige, and an Addictions Physician, Dr Hajala.I have read their book a few times and recently purchased the workbook which has already given me a few ah ha moments. On Sundays I spend a few minutes watching Paige’s recovery message video.HUM has become a second home for me and I feel privileged that they set up an office where I live.

My first experience with HUM was through the Intensive Outpatient Program they offer. This treatment program was miles ahead of any other treatment I had received or experienced up to that point. I learned more about my addiction than I could have ever imagined. It had such a profound effect on not only my life but my family/friends lives as well. I have come so far since attending IOP it is almost hard to believe. The staff is extremely helpful and supportive. I now attend weekly group therapy at HUM, and weekly one on one meetings with counsellors there. I have nothing but good things to say about this facility and each and every staff member I have met along the way. It has changed my life for the better and I am eternally grateful for this amazing resource. Each counsellor has been extremely helpful in many ways and their programs offer unique and beneficial approaches to recovery. I would strongly recommend HUM to anyone thinking about beginning or furthering their Recovery. They helped me to feel safe and supported throughout my journey, and I do not think I would be where I am today without the help of HUM and all of their staff.

My participation in this clinic has transformed not only mine but my family’s lives. I have been to my fair share of physiologists over the years and nothing has compared. At HUM we receive holistic treatment that looks at all aspects of well being. My husband, daughter and I see Paige Abbott on a fairly regular basis and we have started to heal as a family.
