In our society today, increasing numbers of people are prescribed opioids for physical health symptoms. Unfortunately, without proper monitoring and appreciation of the risk of Addiction, what starts off as pain management can uncover unmanageability with Addiction involving opioids.
Wherever the journey with opioids started, often by the time people are seeking treatment they are finding themselves using more frequently, in higher doses, and with less benefit than they had experienced in the past.Addiction involving drugs is a chronic medical condition that requires assessment and treatment.

Eating disorders, or Addiction involving food, is a chronic medical condition that requires assessment and treatment. With Addiction in this area, the ability to make healthy choices is impaired and compulsive behaviours control the individual's life, leading to feelings of unmanageability. The eating disorder is a symptom of what is happening in the brain and it leads the person to seek escape, relief and/or reward.

I have been in recovery for 13 years and a client at HUM for the last 10 years and the impact the team there has had on my life and my recovery has been profoundly beneficial. When I look back at the emotional dysfunction present in my life compared to where I am today I am filled with such gratitude. It has not always been easy and the therapy I have received at HUM has empowered me to do the work that was needed to progress in my recovery and develop the emotional life skills that have allowed me to live a healthy and honest life. If you are struggling with addiction, compulsive behaviour, and

I was a patient of Dr. Hajela's 2 years before HUM was created. 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

It is hard to rate HUM in only 5 stars. To me the stars should be rated as infinite
The gratitude I am feeling for the HUM Team is unmeasurable. I was in a very dark place in my life before I took that step and ask for help. For me that was a very hard thing to do. Right when I walked through the door I was greeted with an openness I hadn’t felt before. I was a broken mess. No where to go but down. HUM picked me up and place me on my feet again. Their kindness and understanding aloud me to feel I was herd for the first time. Their non judgemental approach is what i needed. Together they pulled

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

As a professional providing services at HUM, I can wholeheartedly say that the HUM team has been extremely supportive of the Art Therapy program my colleagues and I have implemented for over a year now. I admire HUM's holistic approach to treatment, taking accounts all aspects of the individual's body and mind, creating a truly collaborative and integrative approach. Being able to provide Art Therapy to the HUM clientele has been truly rewarding and I look forward to continue working on this amazing team.

I came to HUM almost 2 years ago feeling at my wits end as I had hit an emotional bottom! 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

I began my journey of recovery at HUM having enrolled in their intensive outpatient program. It has been a truly life changing experience. 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. I have found hope again. I am learning about who I truly am as a person and I am growing. Finding HUM was not only life changing but it saved my life. I am eternally grateful to the entire HUM team and its patients for the experience and the continued support and guidance.

My experience at HUM has been life changing. I started my recovery journey 3.5 years ago but didn’t really understand the depth and magnitude of my disease until I came to HUM 2.5 years ago. The HUM philosophy of “addiction is addiction” really resonates with me. I have been able to see how my addiction spans across all areas of my life and the HUM… team has been instrumental in helping me navigate this. The clinicians at HUM are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and available. I have the utmost respect and trust in their abilities to provide me with the support and

What brought me to HUM 2+ years ago was an underlying unhappiness, or lack of zest for life/depression. 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

In 2016/2017 I facilitated a number of Art Therapy group sessions for the IOP program at HUM. I found the office to be warm and welcoming, and the program offers a healthy balance of mind, body and spiritual support. It was rewarding for me to observe the progression of the groups over the months of the program. I was often impressed with the notable positive changes evident in many clients. I also found the groups to be highly respectful of each other, supportive, and open to finding happier, healthier lifestyles. If you are seeking support in making major life changes, in my experience HUM is
