The people are amazing! My 10 day stay at Novus was like no detox I could imagine. The food was great, amenities were amazing and again, the people are unbelievable. The detox was smooth!
The food was amazing, delicious and nutritious. The grounds were large, serene, and peaceful–just like home!
While at Novus, I have learned so much about myself and the drugs I was taking. The counselors are unbelievable. Everyone from the nurses to the kitchen staff. Everyone here treats you with the utmost respect and professionalism. I was blown away by everyone and everything. Here you are treated like a person and not a number. Without a doubt the best place anyone with an addiction could come. While I was at Novus I have come to many realizations about my life, my decision making and my habit. I have made the decision to live my life drug free and could not have done it without Novus!

Success story from a patient who successfully completed the Medical Detox Program at Novus Detox.
“The whole staff is just awesome. Every one of you guys are top gun.
“It is an excellent facility. Beautiful grounds and I’ve never had better food.
“My experience at the Novus center was truly second to none. Going in I was very skeptical but once I got there I truly felt that I was in the right place for my problem. The staff made me as comfortable as I could possibly get and their knowledge of their job is awesome. The staff was truly the nicest people I’ve ever met.
“I realized through the counselors and nurses there is a better life without drugs and that I will be part of that better life now that I went through this wonderful program. I really feel the Novus center saved my life.”

Success story from a patient who successfully completed the Alcohol Detox Program at Novus Detox.
“The staff was always extremely helpful and very attentive. The accommodations are better than several hotels I’ve stayed at. JJ, Monty, Scott, pretty much everyone was great. The entire kitchen staff and all the nurses. The food was gourmet quality. I appreciated the fact they were always willing to adjust upon request.
“Common areas are excellent. Love the large T.V. Grounds are very nice.
“I realized the clarity of sobriety both mentally and physically. I had the opportunity to make some great friends and learn different ways to overcome addiction. Having never felt this good in a long, long time I have no desire to return to using/abusing alcohol.
“I also realize I must find new friends or “politely” eliminate the former negative influences.
“I met several people who used drugs I’ve never experienced and now know there is no way I would ever consider experimenting, regardless of situation or peer pressure.
“While I would never be the preacher type, I would seize the opportunity to share some of my personal experiences and some of the stories I’ve learned when the opportunity presents itself.
“My biggest win is the desire and confidence to remain sober – with confidence.”

Success story from a patient who successfully completed the Heroin Detox Program at Novus Detox.
My stay at Novus was absolutely remarkable. After receiving treatment in several other detox facilities, my expectations were not very high. Those other facilities had all used a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all program. Novus custom tailored a detox program for my exact needs and then – with careful monitoring – even adjusted it as I went along. The physical and emotional problems I expected never arose. Their unique combination of hydration, IV and orally administered vitamins and supplements, medicines to ease withdrawal symptoms and excellent nutritional program worked better than I could have ever hoped for.
The entire staff – from cooks and housekeepers to doctors, nurses and counselors – treated me with the utmost respect and consideration. The counselors and medical staff were very knowledgeable. They answered all my questions, taught me a great deal about my illness and gave me the exact and simple steps I needed to continue into a full and complete recovery when I left their care. They also gave me the hope, encouragement and confidence I so desperately needed after my many previous failures. Remember – detox is only the first step of recovery.
The Novus facility was exactly as described. Clean, modern, peaceful and private. It was the ideal environment I needed to start my recovery in. The private room which included a flat-screen TV/DVD, Satellite System, private phone and internet access was absolutely beautiful and enabled me to remain connected to society. I was never out of touch with my family, friends or business.
My peers (nine or ten other patients) were from all walks of life and came from all across the US and Canada. They were a wonderful group of people and I watched as every one of them received the same quality treatment I did. Each day I could see them noticeably improve and I am sure they saw the same in me. I wish them all the best.
Without reservation, I would recommend the Novus program to anyone, anywhere that needs help breaking out of the seemingly never-ending cycle of addiction. I have absolutely no doubt that Novus can and will put you on the correct road to recovery.

My stay at Novus Medical Detox was life changing
The personal care and attention by every staff member was unlike any that I could have foreseen or that I have ever experienced in my life. From the cooks, to the nurses, to the counselors and owners, there is truly an amazing group of people working here. Going from such a cold feeling devoid of life to having emotions rush back so quickly is a terrifying and at times joyful experience. I will personally miss all of the counselors that were there day and night for me and am grateful beyond words for the hope that has grown in me through such close bonds.
Food: 5 of 5. The food was amazing and both fridges somehow magically replenish themselves in minutes. I’ve been spoiled.
Housekeeping: 5 of 5. Housekeeping was top notch. Minutes after leaving my room looking like a bomb went off in it, to smoke a cigarette, I’d return to it looking picture perfect.
Several years ago I thought I was saving my life by going onto a Methadone Maintenance Program. I thought all roads had been ridden and all measures exhausted. In a sense I may have saved my life, or at least bought myself some time, but all I had actually done was sold my entire life over to a clinic.
At first I felt relief from the chaos of having to constantly jeopardize my life with lovely pill fixes and shady people, and from the chronic pain that my pain management doctor had me convinced of. Very rapidly I went from 30mg to 120mg for a while and then in a matter of weeks up to 300 mg. It didn’t take long or me to fall into a pit of hopelessness. Every morning I was surrounded by people that had spent the last 10 – 30 years on methadone. That and the willingness of my “counselor” to take me higher and higher had me convinced of the fact that I more likely than not would be a “lifer”.
Having gone through withdrawals from just about every known substance and been able to kick them, I finally was convinced that I was beaten by methadone. My life has been one of terror for the last 3 years. Terror of arrest or a surgery in which the doctors had no way to medicate me plagued me daily. My life was once again crumbling. I was taking 300 – 600mg of methadone daily. Up to 1200 at times along with 10 – 20 mg of Xanax when I entered Novus.
All hope was gone, no detox would take me. 14 days after I leave here drug free and miraculously, my detox was 99% pain free. I leave with hope and full support of my family. Words cannot describe the miracles that I have gone through and witnessed during my stay. I truly believe that Novus Detox has been put in place piece by piece and person by person by God himself. For so many amazing people to come together, each playing their part to re-instill hope, health and life to so many “hopeless” cases is no accident.
