Athena Passages is a fantastic rehab clinic for anyone grappling with Xanax addiction. When I first arrived, I was anxious and unsure of what to expect. However, the staff immediately put me at ease with their kindness and professionalism. The environment was warm and welcoming, which helped me relax and focus on my recovery. The treatment program at Athena Passages is comprehensive and well-organised. I took part in various therapy sessions that taught me how to manage my addiction and understand its root causes. The managers, especially the supervisor of my case, Bruno, are experienced and genuinely care about their patients. They provided me with personalised support, which made a significant difference in my progress. One of the best parts of my experience was the trips around the city and the activities outside. It's something I will remember all my life. I met other people who were going through similar struggles, and we supported each other throughout the process. The friendships I formed there were invaluable. By the time I left, I felt stronger, more confident, and ready to start a new chapter in my life.

They literally saved my sons life. My son has been in different rehabs before Athena Passages, and I have to say nobody ever understood the meaning of ;Never Let Go! Athena Passages were the only team who never let him down, despite all the boundaries he crossed. They are serious, loving people who understand addiction better than anyone. They stay close to the families, which really helps when you have been suffering from co-dependency for so long. I would not recommend any other place than Athena Passages for your loved ones struggling with addiction.

I’ve been in this game for 10+ years. I’ve done things I can never be forgiven for, and I have seen friends pass on because of this issue. The industry treats us as if we are people of a lower class. And when trying to get help, we’re seen as an enemy just trying to get high. But not here! This team was the most professional, understanding, and hard working team I have ever EVER experienced. They went above and beyond to get me the medicine I needed and help me. I haven’t cried from seeing this type of humanity in nearly 20 years, but today I did. Thank you. You’re changing lives and helping people more than you’ll ever know.
