“Before my treatment at Schick Shadel, I couldn’t imagine my life without drinking. I also couldn’t imagine going to “rehab” for one or two months! In just ten days my life was transformed. No more hopelessness, no more depression and no more cravings. I have rediscovered how great life can be…thank you Schick Shadel Hospital.” In just ten days my life was transformed and I rediscovered how great life can be.”

“Spending over forty years in the entertainment business allowed me to meet many talented people. It wasn’t long before I saw alcohol and drugs cut so many great musical careers short. It almost seemed that those great creative minds were more susceptible to addiction. I too found a day were alcohol was about to take its toll! Fortunately I came to Schick Shadel Hospital and twenty years later… I am as healthy and happy as ever. It’s absolutely true when they say; Give us ten days and we’ll give you back your life.”

"Schick Shadel Hospital is the only place in the United States where you can turn your life around in 10 days. I would have just given them the money to keep the place open after all it has done for me and many of my friends."

“While playing football at the University of Texas,
I was always training and preparing to win. Performance is everything in sports. I quickly discovered the same holds true in the world of business. When I found that drinking had started to affect my edge I wanted to get treated by the best. My research led me to Schick Shadel Hospital. Not only did they take away my cravings for alcohol- Schick did it in just ten days. I was able to conduct business from the privacy of my room and my life was uninterrupted by the Schick treatment method.”

"I treated in 1974 for alcohol and have never, ever, came close to having a drink. Even when times were very tough, I was never tempted to drink alcohol. I owe my life to the kind people at Schick Shadel Hospital and I still keep in touch with them."

"I tried several times to quit on my own, but that route never lasted. That is when I turned to Schick Shadel Hospital. I am now alcohol free, and I owe all of my thanks to the caring and professional staff at Schick Shadel Hospital. I feel good now.

From my heart, I’m extremely happy to with my decision to treat at Schick.  As a successful person with a great family, I  only needed to end my problem with alcohol.  And I wanted to attack the problem and get on with it.  Schick treatment and dedicated staff helped me to do just that.  Schick’s treatment works, and it’s probably worth twice the price.”

"Nearly nine years have gone by since my life was controlled by alcohol. It's amazing how much I can remember about a time in my life I would just as soon forget. I now have two sons who, thank goodness, never saw their dad drunk. I also still have a beautiful wife who never really gave up on me and still reminds me how proud she is of my accomplishments. My wife now has a husband and the boys, well, have a pretty awesome dad.

Now when I cry it's because of a sad movie or a touching story – not tears of guilt or self-pity. It's now genuine. My life is genuine."

"We both treated at Schick Shadel Hospital, and it is the best thing we have ever done. Neither of us has had any craving. The staff treats you with respect and dignity, and it has changed our lives. I am now the number one salesperson in my office and my husband's business has quadrupled. We are so thankful."

"I can't thank Schick Shadel Hospital enough for what they have done for me. The treatment there made it so easy to stay away from alcohol - it was unbelievable. My life has totally changed since I treated, and it would have never happened if I hadn't stopped drinking."

"Schick Shadel Hospital was my final hope. I had tried it all and was sure I could never stay sober. It has been since 1984 that I treated and I have never had a drink or a desire to drink. It was truly like a miracle."

Paul Villagiante
Vacaville, California

"When I left after treatment, I have had absolutely no desire nor had another drink in 22 years. Who says you can be successful in sobriety and have fun doing it? I DO! Now many people recognize me, not as a drunk, but as a successful community provider."

Joe Brennan
Schick Shadel Graduate

"I treated at Schick Shadel Hospital in 1998 and have had no temptation to drink since I left the program. The aversion therapy totally removed the craving that controlled me for so many years. It has given me my life back."

Lowell Peterson

"I chose Schick Shadel Hospital because I had friends who treated at the traditional programs with little success. I needed the aversion therapy and other treatments. I am now sober and I owe it all to the staff and the treatment they offer."
