Success Stories
"I am completely amazed at the success and gains I have made in both my personal and professional life since [completing the drug rehab program]. I have regained my self-respect, ethics, and morals as a result of the methods used to treat my addiction. My friends, family, and peers are constantly remarking about how much happier and healthier I appear to them.
"Prior to coming to [the rehab] I was in serious depression and despair from my failures to stop drinking. Nothing worked for me; not the thirty day 12-step rehab places, Alcoholics Anonymous, or drugs prescribed by my Doctor. Now my desire to drink alcohol has completely gone away. I am working again and have a rewarding career ahead of me. "

"My life was miserable. I had lost my husband and was soon to lose my children. I felt helpless. I was a clinical drug addict. My nightstand beside my bed held Xanax, Oxycontin, Lortabs, Somas, and some other kinds of sleeping pills. All prescribed to me by medical doctors.
"At one time I had my own business. A beautiful family. Everything a person would want. But my life had turned into a living nightmare. I didn’t eat food. I took drugs. I didn’t clean my home. I shot up drugs. I didn’t love my family. I didn’t love myself. I was a wreck.
"I made several reaches for help. Doors were slammed in my face. I was told I would always take medications. I could not come off all the meds without dying. Doctors told me this. Several rehabs turned me down, I was too addicted. Society turned its back on my screams and cries for help. What’s the use, I’m doomed to live this life of misery. I overdosed on October 14th of 2004. My 6 year old daughter found me with no breath, no heart beat. She called for help. Somehow, I made it through the night. I refused emergency services but agreed to go to the hospital with my father. Everything was such a blurr. The pain and anguish I saw in my father’s eyes is something no parent should feel.
"I was the true example of what clinical drugs can do to a human being. I was walking death. Just a body with no mind or spirit left. When I went to the [drug rehab program], an angel delivered me to the doors of life.
...I am now a living, loving, productive human being. [The rehabilitation center] gave me the tools to remain clean, the tools to pick myself up and to keep myself out of danger.
"My parents have a daughter. My sisters have a sister. My children have a mother. My future grandchildren have a grandmother, someone they can be proud of. Not a drug addict. [That rehab center] gave me back my will. My God did not condemn me to a life of drugs. I chose to do drugs... "
