‘Michael knows first hand that this process works because he has used this method with over 3000 drug and alcohol abusers over that past 6 years. His success rate with his clients is a remarkable 80%, the state average pales in comparison with only a 10% success rate.

Once Michael helps his clients uncover the needs that are being met by using excessive amounts of drugs and alcohol and the feelings behind those needs, his clients report experiencing a huge burden being lifted and a new sense of freedom to make life serving choices. During sessions  Michael never points the finger at his clients for doing what they did.  He offers empathy and understanding.  He then discovered that his clients appreciate that they were not given the label “addict” or “diseased” and “meetings didn’t have to last a life time.” By not labeling, it gives his clients hope and self-respect.  He relates to his clients as human beings who used narcotics to meet needs, tragically, or in a life diminishing manner. Once the client(s) grasp their understanding and awareness of his technique, they were relieved that someone, out there, was finally telling them the truth.

Over the past 6 years Michael has helped his clients achieve unparalleled results. Here’s what they are saying: ‘Mr. Oden cultivated and nurtured my recovery as opposed to beating me down like some traditional methods.  He actually showed me a solution opposed to hearing the same old stories.”   “His insight and caring were uncanny.  What he said about my past, how he pinpointed my problem and how it affected me hit home, literally.” “You’ve given me an entirely new outlook on life.”  “I’m not haunted by my past anymore.” “I’m not just clean, I’m FREE!”
