Report
Its always a great day to be sober at Breathe. Their staff is exceptionally skilled, empathetic and compassionate. Many friends, clients, and I have benefited from their care and clinical insight. I am 5 years sober and I am grateful to Brad and Kathleen for every single day I have. Without Breathe, my clients and friends wouldnt be living their happy and drug free lives. They are consistently proving themselves to be one of the best rehabs in the country.

Report
I chose to go to Breathe last May, 2019. I was very sick with Complex PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder and Binge Eating Disorder. I flew alone from Indiana to Los Angeles. I was terrified. What greeted me in Laurel Canyon was quite different from what had been advertised to me. It was after clinical hours and I was taken directly to the campus. I was met by some rather interesting staff. As a trauma survivor my experience that night was really triggering and I almost left before the morning. I was able to talk to my therapist on the phone and two other clients helped me feel safe for the night.

Breathe has been an integral part in my ongoing healing and recovery. The staff are knowledgeable and genuine in their care. It was truly a spiritual experience from the inside out. Ive carried what I learned there with me into relationships and experiences throughout my recovery. So very happy with my time at Breathe.

I want to give a shout out to Brad Lamm, Kathleen Murphy and Asher Erhman from Breath Life Healing Centers. Individuals who are Masters in their fields, who are committed to giving clients a real shot at change and healing, who understand that you cannot ignore trauma if you are working with SUD's and who place clients and ethics before business and money need to be honored. These are people who are really making a difference and because of them I would recommend Breath Life Healing Centers to a family member if I had to do so.

I have no idea who I would be without Breathe Life Healing Centers. The clinical director- Kathleen Murphy is an incredibly talented therapist, who has a special gift in transforming lives. I believe the Family program here is the best in the world- true authentic healing as a unit! The owner Brad Lamm had a mission for good treatment and he really succeeded. My words do not do justice to the miracles they have produced. THANK YOU
