“David Brooks is truly one of a kind. People say you can’t speak about it unless you have lived it, which puts Dave in a unique position to both be able to speak about addiction and to teach others about it. There have been many counselors in my years of recovery and some were good, some were bad....then there’s dave. Dave isn’t just a counselor, he is also a friend and a role model. I haven’t met another addict who hasn’t looked up to Dave as somewhat of a hero. He has dedicated his life to understanding how the mind works and finding new ways to teach these facts so that every client who walks through his door can understand them. Not only is dave the single smartest and most dedicated counselor that I have met in the field of addiction counseling, but he is also family to many. If I had not met Dave while I was incarcerated years ago, and then if he had not opened up his own treatment center, I do not know if I would even be alive today. There are many factors as to why and how I am still here today, but I believe that David Brooks is a major factor. My family and I all truly thank Dave from the bottom of our hearts and I wish I could repay him for EVERYTHING be has done for me and everything that he has done for my fellow addicts. My personal opinion is that you will not find another counselor in our area who has the knowledge, the passion, or the love for addiction counseling that Dave has. If you truly want a new way of life, I highly suggest that you call Dave today and see for yourself just how much your life can change.”
“I’ve been searching my entire adult life for help ..I’ve been to NA, AA, rehab, jail and 3 different local intensive outpatient programs and every time the same thing. I show up anxious and leave feeling like I’m missing something. David Brooks isn’t about telling you what to do, he’s about helping you figure out how to help yourself. Without a doubt the most important hour of my week. I walk in with a week’s worth of life on my mind and walk out with a big dumb smile excited for the week to come. There’s a lot of reasons why I’m happy with the man I see in the mirror these days and Dave Brooks and Brooks Behavioral have a lot to do with it.”
“Outstanding program and skilled staffing. offering specialized treatment.”
“Great place for anyone needing help in the area. Very courteous and professional.great atmosphere.him and his wife are very nice and do not judge ppl no matter the situation and I highly recommend their services.”
“Being the mother of an addict, I had questions and I didnt know where to turn!! David took the time to answer my questions and point me in the direction i needed to go!!

“A perfect understanding of addiction allowing for effective treatment.”
“Amazing place. friendly. caring works with getting u the right path to fit your needs. Mr. Brooks is amazing my son enjoys his groups and opened up on his first visit 😁 😊”
“Just finished up my DWI classes from Brooke’s Behavioral Health Services and there is nothing but positive things I can say about David and his commitment towards helping individuals better themselves. His interest in my sobriety and life struggles made it very easy to talk and open up with him about what I have been going through. He doesn’t force anyone to become sober, but rather welcomes you to open your mind to how you can turn your life around in a positive way. To anyone needing DWI/DUI classes, or anyone wanting honest help, I highly recommend you visit his office on 3rd street in downtown Frederick.”

“Dave is a great guy; very compassionate and knowledgeable! Definitely recommend!”
“The fact that they treat you like family and let you be you while you’re figuring out who you need and want to be.”
“I have known David for the past nine years, he has tried numerous times to help me but I never wanted to change anything. With this being said David’s way of therapy is awesome when you apply the suggestions and become honest with yourself and your counselor this is when you will see the results. He has helped me with So much with the way he does his classes that I’ve gained a level honesty and commitment to myself that I haven’t seen in me in a long time and I’ve truly have matured in this process and I owe all of this to David’s commitment to his clients and his teachings and I also believe in myself now. I would recommend David to anyone that is in need of therapy and help with substance abuse. He also helps in many other ways but if you want to know go check Mr. and Mrs. Brooks out and see if he is a good fit for you. My family and I are truly grateful to him and all the things that he has helped me through all the years I have known him wouldn’t change him for anyone else in the world. I thank God for David and his knowledge because he has helped me get to this part of my life. Thanks,.”

“They helped my son when no one else would even try to get him in any rehab Chelsea and David were right on things when we called them David was so wonderful and he had my son rehab in no time at all. Love their service”
“David cares about people and their success!”
“I met Mr.Brooks in 2015 and he isn’t your typical counselor. The things he spoke about and suggestions he gave changed my whole perspective on the life I was living. Everything he said stuck with me and played a major role in my recovery. He’s an easy person to talk to and there’s no judgment on his end, just ways he can help you. I would recommend this business to anyone who needs help and is looking to better themselves.”
“This guy is very genuine and really cares about helping to change lives around and teach people to think in positive ways and change their life all the way around”
“Would highly recommend. David is the best There is and truly wants to help you. Very understanding and caring and will be straight up with you to help you make the steps to change your life.”
“David is one of a kind. He took the time to explain and repeat processes I didn’t understand. Before talking to him I was oblivious to how the programs worked and what steps to take. A huge thank you to Brooks behavioral for making me feel like the community matters, and showing it!”
“I will recommend David to any family or friend. He is excellent with teens and young adults.”
“Most of us are sensitive at the beginning of recovery and have trouble accepting our flaws. We are used to being defensive and David is a gentle giant. He listens without passing judgment and does not lecture with his head but his heart. He’s also is a remodel anyone can learn from weather your working on addiction or just trying to be a better you. It’s not just a job it’s his passion.”
