Dear Dr. Marshak,
This note is long overdue but nonetheless sincere. My husband
and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your treatment,
care and ongoing support of our son Eamon. You are an incredible
doctor and scientist. Eamon believes in you and your findings
and treatment. He has always been a person that valued a
good diet, exercise and knowledge. When Eamon began to abuse
his body and mind, he also gave up on himself. Knowing his
heart, good work ethics and potential was increasingly deteriorating
we know it would take a miracle for Eamon to accept his
addiction and seek help. I do not believe Eamon would have
accepted just any treatment. Your program makes sense with
concrete scientific methods to control the brain imbalances
– the controlled diet, yoga, ad 12 step program have
saved Eamon's life. Your staff (all) treated Eamon with
care and held him accountable. You must be so proud of your
incredible accomplishments and so proud of Sonia [Dr. Sonia
Marshak]. We are thankful for you and grateful to you for
taking such an interest in helping Eamon. Blessings to you
and yours.

My first attempt at getting
sober occurred over a year ago. As with most drug treatment
centers, the one I chose to enter focused almost entirely
on the program of A.A. Although effective to a degree, there
were many aspects of my recovery that weren’t met
by this approach. I found myself experiencing intense irritability
and depressive symptoms during my stay, the likes of which
I had never felt before. The only remedy offered for my
overall decreasing mood was psychotropic drugs, which I
opted not to take for fear of dependency.
After drinking at the airport
on my way home from this recovery center I quickly fell
into my old patterns, unable to put more than ten days of
sobriety together at one time. A year later I hit a new
bottom and began the quest for sobriety, but was skeptical
of any program that only offered The Twelve Steps and potent
drugs as their solution. I knew I need more. I wanted to
heal myself naturally, without the aid of foreign substances.
Soon after my quest began,
I found Dr. Marshak and was invited to attend his five day
retreat program in Malibu. At the clinic I found a program
that took a truly holistic approach to recovery. Dr. Marshak’s
unique approach was extremely efficient and after the five
days I was able to put together three weeks on my own, using
the tools I had been given at the clinic. This was the longest
period of sobriety I had experienced since my last day at
rehab.
I soon decided to enter the
28-day program the Marshak Clinic offered and became their
first U.S. patient. Through DNA testing, Dr. Marshak prescribed
a natural cocktail of supplements which worked specifically
with my body at the cellular level. Through regular yoga,
oxygen therapy, a specialized nutrition program, The Twelve
Steps, and group and individual therapy, I was able to excel
in a short period of time. I am truly grateful that I chose
this treatment program. Within several days I felt a drastic
increase in my mood and an overall sense of well being.
Dr. Marshak and his staff were exceptionally caring and
empathetic during my stay, and aided me in achieving maximum
results. I have experienced great serenity since working
his program and have had no cravings of any kind. It is
truly a miracle. I have been able to maintain sobriety and
a level of happiness I never thought possible.

Twenty eight days ago, I arrived
at the Clinic intoxicated, depressed and overall terrified.
I had hit the proverbial “rock bottom.” My initial
intention of coming to the Clinic was to simply stay clean
for one month and return to a normal life. I later found
out that things aren’t that simple. Initially I was
blown away at how beautiful the Clinic was. As I began to
meet the staff, I found them just as beautiful. The exercise
organized was difficult at first, but later became my routine.
The food was impeccable and it was hard to believe that
it was so healthy. The individual and group counseling seemed
intimidating at first, but as I began to open up, I started
to find it very rewarding. I can’t say enough of the
overall experience. I was completely impressed. I now consider
the Marshak Group a close family. I will forever cherish
my time spent here and highly recommend it to anyone who
is suffering as I was. I have a deep appreciate and gratitude
to everyone. The time helped me open my eyes to the beautiful
life of sobriety.
Dr. Clay- Los Angeles, California
My father was an alcoholic,
and I have a history of dependence and addiction to drugs
and alcohol. I started drinking and using when I was sixteen,
and at the age of twenty-one I started looking for a solution.
I started searching because I wanted to know more about
the disease, about addiction, about how I could get better.
I believe the Marshak MethodTM is so effective because it
takes a comprehensive approach to the complex problem of
addiction. Addiction affects all aspects of one's life,
and to treat only any one of these aspects is completely
useless - because the rest, left untreated, will pull you
back down. The Marshak Clinic addresses all the essential
aspects of recovery.

What affected me the most
at the Marshak Clinic is that everyone was so kind to me,
and that the doctors, assistants and the entire staff treated
me like an equal. Initially I was very impressed by many
things - especially the groups that were taking place in
the Clinic; as well as meeting former clients who were treated
there, and were now healthy and clean for several years.
I gradually started feeling like myself again, and was truly
impressed with the results of the yoga therapy. The feeling
I got from the exercises was similar to the endorphin rush
that I got from playing professional ice hockey. One day
during the morning exercise session I felt really good,
and I remembered feeling that way before: it was just like
when I was in top shape and winning a game of hockey. The
Marshak Clinic gave me the understanding that there is a
way out of the terrible place of addiction, and gave me
tools I needed to get better. It is his understanding that
is missing in those who are abusing drugs for many years.
