I was under his, and his teams care from HUM’s inception in 2009 until 2014 (7 years). I attended 2 other treatment programs in BC and Calgary, as well as regular 12 step meetings. The quality of the group and individual therapy I received at HUM was by far the most professional I’ve experienced in my journey. My time at HUM had the most profound impact on my recovery and still does to this day. I’m beyond grateful to be part of this amazing team as a counsellor now, and to be able to have an impact on and witness the journeys of my fellow addicts. read less

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. read less

I had been sober for over 24 years and worked the steps of my 12 Step program, and yet I still felt disconnected and absolutely confused about where my life was going. From the outset, the Team at HUM offered me a completely different way of thinking about my disease of addiction. This new perspective has allowed me to change my thinking and therefore my actions. This has meant I’ve made some amazing and positive changes in my life that I would have never done using the tools I had at my disposable prior to being involved with HUM.I completed their Intensive Outreach Program and that was the incentive that I needed to make the changes in my life. I continue to attend weekly group therapy sessions and individual counselling sessions. They continue to support my journey of recovery.I can’t say enough good things about HUM and the team of caring, professional staff. I highly recommend this treatment facility to anyone struggling with mental health and/or addiction issues. read less

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. read less

I have struggled with addiction for many years. For the first time in my life I learned what I had. Through therapy I was able (and I continue) to understand and deal with my past.

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.

Dr. Hajela, Sue, Paige, Kaylie, Dr. Hurley, Troy and Mike were all very knowledgeable, passionate and nonjudgmental in their approach to treating Addiction.HUM uses a holistic approach when identifying, assessing and treating Addiction. Their focus is on long term recovery versus providing “band aide” fixes as other treatment centers might provide. They deeply understand that “Addiction is Addiction” and that no matter which substance or behavior you might struggle with, the fundamental issues stem from dysfunction/disconnect in biological, psychological, social and spiritual domains.I would recommend HUM to all individuals seeking to better their lives and not just those afflicted with Addiction. 🙂 read less

My experience through the assessment appointments was an interesting one, and resonated truth with me. HUM’s compassionate, and empathetic approach towards therapy gave me the safety I needed for personal growth. HUM provided the support, programs, and encouragement to help me push through my cognitive barriers. I completed the Intensive Out Patient program which gifted me a deeper foundation of understanding, practice/tools, friendships, and connection that has changed my life. The HUM professionals, community, and staff are full of beautiful, caring Human Beings. I am forever grateful to HUM for the gifts of recovery they helped me find, and the courage I had to walk through their doors. Thank you HUM. Stay Curious… read less

At HUM, I woke up and realized, that there is way more behind all this, I learned to see where it all came from, and how to avoid many occasions that would trigger the situation. HUM is way more professional then any Rehab Centers I know off, they are straight with you, very knowledgeable in any aspect, and focus on YOU only, and no one else, they really woke me up and made my life better than ever. I focus on myself and my family only, everything else is relevant. It is worth it to communicate with HUM, they really know how to help !!!!! read less

Not only have I found that HUM met the mark on those fronts they were also incredibly compassionate, and skilled at addressing addiction. Although I have been in recovery since May 2007, it wasn’t until I accessed HUM in Jan 2015, that I was really able to understand my disease and the impact that it has in all areas of my life. Most importantly I was able to do this in a way (with their help) that put my shame aside and see the disease for what it is. The gifts are too numerous to count. I feel extremely fortunate to have found this place; and continue to refer people there, both in my personal and professional life. They are truly addiction whisperers ???? read less

Little did I know that I would be the one to discover my own addictive problems and finally get much needed support and understanding from the HUM team. There are very few professionals in Calgary that can deal with addiction like Doctor Hajela and Paige Abbott as they are experts in the complicated world of addiction.I owe them my gratitude and highly recommend anyone suffering with family addiction to reach out for their knowledge and professional expertise. It has been a saving grace for me! read less

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. read less
