Drug Rehab Centers in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania

I always think that a person needs to be recognized when they go above and beyond in their treatment of patients. Dr. Hashimi needs to be commended for the care he showed my son on a recent trip. His assessment of my son s condition lead to a speedy recovery when other doctors failed to prescribe the proper treatment.Prior to a scheduled cruise to the Northwest Passage, my son came down with pneumonia and went to a local emergency room in Fort Worth, TX. He was diagnosed with pneumonia and prescribed around of amoxicillin as the pneumonia appeared to be bacterial. My son was not given an inhaler or any other medication at the time. Initially, he responded well and we were able to board the cruise headed to Alaska.As soon as he was on the boat, my son started to decline pretty rapidly. The medication was no longer working, and he was having trouble breathing. On the next scheduled stop in Sitka, Alaska, I rushed my son to an urgent care where he was seen by Dr. Hashimi. Dr. Hashimi indicated that my sons oxygen level was low and that the amoxicillin was no longer capable of fighting off the bacterial infection. Dr. Hashimi prescribed a more aggressive medication along with an inhaler for my son. We were able to make it back to the cruise ship with 30 minutes to spare! His speedy diagnosis and ability to get the prescription filled at a local pharmacy helped us continue our voyage. This was INCREDIBLE.The next day, my son came out of his room, a change person. He had lost 16 pounds during his decline. His appetite appeared to be back and his color was returning. The inhaler made a huge difference! My son was able to enjoy the rest of the cruise comfortably with the family.During the entire cruise, Dr. Hashimi called me on the phone to check on my son s condition. He asked a lot of pertinent questions regarding how my son was feeling, any fever, his respirations, and general overall appearance questions. When we got back to the lower 48 after completing the cruise , Dr. Hashimi continue to call and check in on my son. This blew me away. This is the type of care that I think we all need as people. Dr. Hashimi truly was concerned about my son s welfare and his condition. I have not received this type of care in years.I wanted to personally thank you, Dr. Hashimi for all you did for my son and my family. Your quality of care and follow up is second to none! Thank you again for listening to us and helping us in a time of need. Thank you again, sir and may God bless you.

For as long as I can remember, I've been trapped in a never-ending cycle of addiction. From the medications prescribed to me as a child, to the prescription opiates I graduated to , I've spent my entire life battling demons that I couldn't escape. And even when I finally found myself on Suboxone, a medication meant to save me from the grip of opioids, I realized that I had simply traded one addiction for another.As the months turned into years, I watched in horror as I lost myself piece by piece. My family, who had always been my rock, began to see the mask that I wore to hide the truth of my struggles. They saw the facade crumbling, and they knew that they were losing me. But even though I was still functioning still working, still taking care of my responsibilities I couldn't shake the feeling of hopelessness that had taken over my life.When my family finally confronted me about my addiction, they suggested that I go to a traditional rehab like some of our relatives had done for their struggles with alcohol. But the idea of locking myself away in a facility for months, cut off from the world and forced to endure a brutal detox, was more than I could bear. I had tried a rapid taper from Suboxone before, and the experience had been hellish. The physical withdrawals had been agonizing, and the mental and emotional toll had lingered for months to up to a full year . I knew that I couldn't put myself through that again.From a young age, I had always been drawn to non-traditional approaches to healing. I had a deep distrust of Western medicine and its tendency to mask symptoms rather than address the root causes of illness. And as I struggled with my addiction, this feeling only intensified. I knew that I couldn't continue down the path of taking pill after pill, never really getting better. But I didn't know what other options were available to me.That's when I remembered a documentary that I had seen about ibogaine, a powerful plant medicine that had been used for centuries in rituals in Africa. I had been fascinated by the stories of people who had used ibogaine to overcome addiction, and I couldn't help but feel a spark of hope. But as I began to research, I realized that ibogaine was illegal in the US, and that seeking treatment would mean traveling to a foreign country.Despite my fears, I knew that I had to explore this option. I couldn't continue down the path that I was on, and I was desperate for a way out. So when my family asked me what I wanted to do, I told them about ibogaine. To my surprise, they were open to the idea. They began researching clinics in Mexico, and they quickly stumbled upon the POI Institute.As soon as they spoke with Diane, the founder of the clinic, they knew that they had found the right place. Diane's kindness and compassion came through clearly over the phone, and my family could tell that she was someone who truly cared about helping people heal. They were impressed by the clinic's small size and focus on individualized care, and they felt confident that I would be in good hands.As soon as I arrived at the clinic, however, my fears began to melt away. The facility was beautiful, with lush gardens and a peaceful atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. They even had a resident pup named Poppy and a cat named Reese. And from the moment that I met Diane and her husband George, I knew that I was in the right place. They greeted me with warm smiles, open arms, and they made me feel like I was family. My nurse Chuy, monitored my health as I began the process of tapering off subs. He was kind, non-judgmental , and quite the chef. When I finally emerged from the ibogaine experience, I was shocked by how clear and focused I felt. I had no cravings, and I felt no withdrawal symptoms. It was as if the medicine had reset my brain and body, giving me a fresh start. I am finally living the life that I deserve. And it's all thanks to the power of ibogaine, and the incredible team at the POI Institute.Love Amber A

Been to a few IOP's. This one is by far my favorite across the board. The counselors are top-notch! So professional, relatable, and insightful. They really have a way of making ALL feel so comfortable to open up and heal. It feels so much like a family that graduates keep popping back in...just to visit, say hello, and help out. I plan on being one of them!Oh...and the snacks, of course! Damn, they treat you right in there.
