(Michael Pollak, Dual Diagnosis IOP) “Mike was absolutely fantastic. I felt like he really wanted
me to succeed, really got to know me, he is a wonderful listener. Mike also challenged me when
I relapsed in a gentle but accountable way that inspired my resolve to stay sober. I loved
learning new skills to help me take care of myself and stay sober. This IOP saved my life. This
group was a godsend after my major mental health crisis I learned to stay sober and obtained
skills to take care of myself. I felt supported and cared for, and Mike was genuine, and I could
tell he was rooting for me to succeed. I highly recommend BWG for any mental health
needs!!!!!”
