What‘s the Buzz
on Pyramid? I am so grateful for Pyramid Healthcare and their staff. I honestly do believe this place has saved my life. I walked in the doors of Lehigh Valley June 2019 not even sure if recovery was for me. A part of me still felt I could never be more than just an addict. I thank God that I stayed when I felt like leaving and that I participated when I felt like isolating. Because of this program and their caring staff, I know that I deserve recovery. Thank you Pyramid. – Megan S.
I am very proud to be completing
my first rehab and I am glad I
was here. I couldn’t have asked
for a better counselor. Thank you
to everyone here. – Austin G.
I would like to thank Pyramid Healthcare in Catasauqua for
saving my life! I came in feeling broken, worthless and hopeless. With the help of all staff, they helped me rebuild my life. I was at the point
where I hated myself but with all staff and peers, I am able to stand tall, hold my head high and tell myself that I love who I am becoming. I would recommend Pyramid Healthcare to anyone that is struggling. It will save your life. – Amanda C.
This was my first time
in rehab. There
were ups and downs.
The techs and
counselors were
great. I was able to
learn a lot about
myself. Now I am able
to start my recovery.
– Matt P.
I came to Pyramid broken, addicted, confused and really not knowing who I was
and if I really wanted to stop using. What I did know was that I wanted to stop
hurting and causing so much pain to the people who loved me. The first few days I
listened and took suggestions on how to release what kept me trapped. I shared. I
shared around people who I thought were strangers but I did it because this is what
the people that had multiple years clean did. The more I shared, the more confident
I became, the more realistic life without drugs became, and that’s when all those
strangers became my brothers- the family who understood exactly how I felt.
– Jose C.
Pyramid is such a blessing to me.
Because of the staff and my counselor, I now live my life not
defined by my past. I now can say that I
love who I am. Pyramid has given me the tools that I needed
to live life on life’s terms. I am forever
grateful that God gave me Pyramid. – Thomas L.
Pyramid Langhorne was a
very helpful experience. I
would recommend it to
anyone struggling with
addiction. – Christopher S.

Pyramid Allentown was recommended for
me. PHP and IOP have been very
important in my recovery. What I have
learned from group sessions is
invaluable. I will carry my knowledge a
long way! Thank you – one day at a time.
