"My experience with Idea in Brighton was wonderful. My counselor Paul was such a kind, understanding and supportive person. The office team was also great. All of the staff was very helpful and nice as well. I would highly recommend Idea."

"Crystal Padilla, is an amazing understanding counselor she will go above and beyond to help people. She helps with everything with the alcohol book. She even answers phone calls if you're struggling with something I made it through my classes because of her.. she will never judge anybody about their problems. She's a good listener. Thank you Crystal Padilla for showing me a better life a sober life.. God bless you for all you do.."

"I really like the Staff here their not only improving myself but my health and they make me a better person (2023) My counselor is super sweet and makes me feel safe and almost like I'm at home talking to my friend. I'm also 8 months sober so the classes really work!!! It's up to you to decide what outcome you'll get outta the program well worth it for me"

"This place was super helpful from the start. I never felt judged or treated poorly due to the situation. Everyone was very helpful and nice. My group counselor Paul was terrific. I never dreaded going to class, I learned a great deal and was thankful to have had this experience."

"To any one who is looking for a place to start probation classes or substance abuse counseling I would highly suggest Idea. My personal experience was rocky at first but that was because I wasn’t fully committed. I was battling my own issues with sobriety, alcohol and opiates. But I kept showing up. Next thing I know I’m almost a year clean, I’m done with my obligations for probation, I have a great job, an amazing relationship and I made a lot of friends along the way. They never gave up on me. If it wasn’t for idea I don’t know where I would be right now. There is one counselor that I will always be great full for, his name is Paul Padilla. Words cannot describe the impact he had on my life. He is truly a blessing. If you are fortunate enough to get into one of his classes you will be able to see exactly what I’m talking about. Change is possible. Change is real. Thank you Paul. Thank you Idea"
