When I came to treatment I was broken.  I was unable to accomplish even the smallest tasks and had lost a complete sense of my individuality.  Throughout the process of education and tools given me in drug treatment, I was able to rediscover myself and blow away the clouds that had fogged my judgement for so long.  Somewhere along the line I grew up.  For the first time in a while I am thinking clearly.  My gratitude and appreciation towards life is luminent.  I have a surge to show cause over my life and take responsibility for my actions.  Reaching out for help was the best decision I ever made. -DS

Seeking treatment was something that I had pondered many times but was unable to ask without feeling ashamed and guilty.  The day I made the decision to seek outside help since I had no control over my drug addiction I was very relieved.  I was surprised at how much support I was given for getting help rather than continuing to lie, steal and use drugs.  From that day my life’s outlook has grown exponentially.  Just thinking back to the person I was just a few months ago and where my motivations and potentials are now is truly amazing.  My hope is that one day I can help others when they need guidance and direction to drug treatment.  I finally sought treatment where there is trained staff to help deal with and overcome serious addiction problems like I had.  despite my skepticism and doubt that I could be helped, I am so grateful today to be clean and sober.  I can say without any reservations that seeking professional treatment was the best decision I have ever done for  myself and the greatest gift I have given to my family and friends -NK

I thank God everyday for drug treatment, without it I be dead.  My drug use and out of control behavior landed me at rock bottom.  There comes a time in the lives of those who use drugs, that enough has to be enough.  Life never gets better and using socially is completely out of the question.  I had to realize this and now know for a fact that this is truth.  My arrival at drug treatment was overwhelming.  I was stressed , I was carrying tons of guilt and shame I was still craving for drugs, not to mention all the harm I had done to my body because of the drug abuse.  I went through a sauna treatment which drew all the dirty toxins out of my body and now I feel GREAT!  I don’t hurt anymore nor do I have the desire to use drugs.  I realize that the education and tools I have acquired while in drug treatment give me the power to stay clean for the rest of my life.
