Harmony Recovery Center

I was living a miserable life. I was homeless in jail in another county as where my family livedand hopeless. I was having a lot of mental health issues and I was a drug addict on top of this. I couldn't figure anything out anymore that would help me get my life in order. I heard about a lady named Mrs. Peggy who worked or a place called a Harmony House. I called her and immediately you could hear peace and hope in her voice. She started communicating with my mother. They got me some insurance and I was released and sent to harmony. I have had the opportunity to deal with some trauma which in turn helped me understand myself more and my addiction. I wish I could express how much harmony means to me. I hope to give back harmony the way it gave to me. Thank you so much Mrs. Peggy words can't express my gratitude towards you.

I love Harmony!! There is so much support!! I am about to head back on May 1st!! I am a mix of emotions, but my Alumni have supported me all the way!! I have to shout out Peggy Lumbardo for all if her sincere love snd support!! If it were not for her i may not have decided to go back to the place that feels like hime

I came to Harmony Recovery center to receive help for my addiction. It was certainly a challenge to admit and leave my past behind. Harmony and the amazing staff helped to receive what I needed. I met some awesome people at Harmony. The most important thing about recovery is you have to want it really bad and you will get it!

I was in pretty bad shape and at one of the lowest points in my life, when I decided to reach out to Harmony Recovery Center. I feel that my experience there saved my life and started me on my path toward healing. After contacting HRC, Ms. Denice immediately reached out to me and encouraged me to join the program. Ms. Peggy was very supportive while I was struggling to make the decision to attend Harmony and while I was attending the program, and still continues to be. I was welcomed into the Harmony community by Dr. Laurie, the Clinical Director, and Jasmine, my intake manager, and I immediately felt safe in the warm friendly atmosphere there. I appreciated that the program provided housing, since I was coming from out of town. Of the many counselors and facilitators, I owe a special thank you to Dr. Rob, who encouraged me to stick with the program even though it was tough and who gave me so many insights into my struggles. At one point I was totally ready to take off, and Dr. Rob said, “I think you have been running your whole life and you need to push through this.” To which I said, “Ok, Dr. Rob, I’m going to trust you on this one.” And I’m glad I did. Roxanna was so sweet in having her door open always to provide a little TLC whenever something was troubling me. I think what some of us really needed was to have someone in our corner that we could trust. It is very difficult for me to trust anyone. And Ms. Gail was the amazing leader of many of our group sessions! Everyone loves Ms. Gail. My absolute favorite part of the program was having the opportunity to tell my life story in a small group, where I felt both seen and heard and maybe for the first time in my life, understood. I was also inspired by hearing the other client’s life stories and experiences and seeing their strength in having overcome so many obstacles, even before joining Harmony. I was thankful for the behavioral techs, who drove us everywhere and provided so much support and security during the evening and night hours at housing. They were always willing to listen and provide any assistance needed. There were too many wonderful people to list here, but I give a special thanks to Ms. Sharone, Ms. Kay and Kai, who helped pull me through. Many of the staff are in recovery themselves which gives them compassion and empathy for us because they remember being in our shoes at one time and have a great deal of wisdom from their own healing journey. I feel that Harmony is the perfect name for this program. This was my safe haven in the midst of a storm. I loved the diversity there with both the staff and clients. They had people from all over the US, of different backgrounds, ages, and ethnicities. If you’re struggling, this is the place to come and there’s no time like now to begin. Just a little suggestion, if you decide to come: many of us brought comfort items, like our own blanket, pillow or towels to make us feel a little more at home; hobby or craft items, like drawing, knitting, etc. I like to cook, so I brought a few extra kitchen items.

Harmony recovery was the best thing that I could have ever done it helped me out so much and it did things for me I didn't think I could do for myself everyone was so nice I like to specially give my shout out and praise to Peggy she helped me out she's such a sweet person and she's very very giving so nice we talk often after I've left she still contacts me checks on me make sure I'm okay if I need anything she's absolutely the greatest person and Harmony I want to say thank you so much for helping me and guide me with my life because I wouldn't be in my new home and living drug free without you guys you guys help me out more than you know thank you so much.
