We have had consistent successes and we are happy to share our Christian drug addiction recovery stories with you. Below are some of our most successful recovery quotes: “When I first came there, I had lost everything. My job, my house, my car and most importantly my family. My wife took the kids and left. She said she couldn’t stay and watch me nod out in front of the kids any longer. She was doing the 12 Steps of Al-Anon but I wasn’t going to any meetings at all. Everyone kept telling me to go and work the 12 Steps of NA but I didn’t have a problem so why should I! My kids are 8 and 11 and they were asking questions about why I slept so much; why I could never do anything on the weekends or after work with them. I spent all my time chasing heroin and alcohol. If it weren’t for this program, I’d be dead! I didn’t know anything about alcohol withdrawal seizures. I didn’t know I could have died! I knew I was going to be sick from heroin but the medical staff at their Christian Recovery kept me safe while I came off all this stuff. There’s no better program!” -Thomas, age 38 |
“I wanted a Christian 12 Step program. That was important to me. I was coming off of alcohol really bad and wanted to know that others of faith were my support. They were there for me and put me in touch with just the right support group. When I was feeling better, I attended this group and have been going ever since! -Abagail, age 27
“I’m doing great! My doctor said even though my pancreas is still not 100% and might not ever be again, my liver is starting to heal! That’s good news! He was honest with me just like you guys were. I probably took about 20 years off my life, but I’m gonna try my hardest to make all the time I do have really count. I wish I had called you guys way sooner but I’m so grateful for my life back! I can never thank you enough!” -Bobby age 39
“I came to them because I thought all I had was a gambling problem. I had been to Gamblers Anonymous and had done the Gamblers Anonymous 12 Steps, but couldn’t seem to stop. I didn’t know it was my alcohol addiction that was actually pulling me back into the card games and casinos! I didn’t know what the definition of alcoholic meant, or what alcohol withdrawal signs even were! When I checked in, I had alcohol withdrawal tremors and had no idea why, or what to take for alcohol withdrawal, or that I was even in withdrawals! All those years I had taken the free drinks while gambling, I didn’t realize how much I was drinking. I always thought gambling was my issue! I learned so much about my addictions while here. I’m back on top of my life, alcohol and gambling free! I owe this program my life!” -Blaine age 55
“I came out of rehab clean and sober. Doing heroin was not even on my mind at all. I was at a birthday party and there was beer. I figured one or two would not hurt. It didn’t that time. The next weekend, I thought I could go to a bar with friends. I shouldn’t have. Towards the end of the evening, we were so drunk that when someone suggested going to an after-hours party, it sounded great. I was clean, I’d done my time in rehab…why not? There was heroin there. I didn’t do any but my friend did and she overdosed because of all the alcohol we had. We all ended up waiting in the hospital to see if she was going to live or die. Alcohol is a drug. I don’t do any drugs anymore!” -Melinda, age 38
“I came here when I was only 18 years old. I was angry my parents had forced me to come to rehab. I didn’t need it! I only partied. I couldn’t hold a job, I had no friends except using friends and I tried to convince the program and my parents that EVERYONE smoked a little heroin now and then. It was no big deal, right?? I thought so until day 2 when I was so sick I could hardly lift my head. That’s when this doctor came and talked to me and told me what I was in for with the heroin withdrawals. I wanted to get up and run as far away from rehab as I could. Fortunately, he kept talking and convinced me to try a medication that not only stopped the withdrawals but most likely saved my life! I was able to get going after one day, get active in the groups and I actually started to see a huge difference in how I thought about drugs and alcohol after just a week! No more cravings, no more being dope-sick. I am so grateful for Suboxone and for the doctor who would not give up on me and convinced me to stay one more day. I really think it saved my life. Their Christian Recovery Program knows what it’s like to be an addict!" -Carly age 19
“I called them just to ask some questions. I knew I wasn’t a real alcoholic. I just needed a sober living place, away from friends and a bad relationship. I was immediately put on the phone with a doctor who convinced me to come in and be evaluated. I’m glad I did. Even with the withdrawal medications, alcohol withdrawals are serious! I don’t think I would have made it without These folks! They saved my life. I’m fine now and attending an addiction 12 Step program, and I’m doing great!”. -Antony, age 37
“I didn’t know smoking pot could cause an addiction! I didn’t realize how often I was smoking or that emotionally it was changing me into a person I did not recognize any longer! My parents did though, and when they first brought me here I thought this is so stupid! Pot is not addicting! Boy was I wrong! I couldn’t sleep, I was tired and angry, and my emotions were all over the place. Over time, they taught me about my addictions and gave me the tools to live life without being stoned all the time! I love these guys!” -Marina, age 18
“My dad was an alcoholic. One of the side effects of alcohol abuse was that he wasn’t here much. When he was home, he was mean and ornery. My mom and us kids didn’t know anything about what happens when an alcoholic stops drinking, or alcohol withdrawal symptoms. All we knew was he was violent and scary. He would beat my mom and all of us kids. Later on I turned to alcohol too, even after swearing I would never touch the stuff. Am I an alcoholic? Yes, I am. That scared me and I tried to stop but I couldn’t. I didn’t know there were alcohol withdrawal drugs I could have taken, and I was pretty sick when I got here. I came here and found out all about my disease and the trauma as a kid that led to it. I found out what causes alcohol withdrawals and that once I drank long enough, I really didn’t have any more control over it. I learned all of it in Christian therapy. I didn’t used to believe in therapy but my therapist showed me how what happened when I was 6 had everything to do with my addiction now!” -Mathew, age 46
“I had no idea what Christian rehab was! I had heard about it but I only drank. I had no idea there would be withdrawal symptoms. When I came to them, I was drinking a fifth a day! I was sick. Sick in body and mind. They took me into detox and then residential. Until I saw my score on the alcohol withdrawal scale, I had no idea I had put myself in such danger! Fortunately, these guys really know their stuff and they got me the medication I needed and then the therapy I wanted. I’ve been sober over 6 months now and it was all because of this treatment program!” -Carston age 46
“We came in for a consultation on whether to spend yet more money on getting our son treatment for his alcohol use. We had put him in rehab 4 times before and each time within a month or two, he was back to drinking. We had almost given up. When we met with your doctor he was very caring but told us without the right medication, our son would likely never stop on his own. This is what we were afraid of and we were worried we could not afford this miracle medication. He told us about a monthly shot that our insurance would actually cover this time and the counseling needed to go with it to give our son a chance. Here we are, one year later and our son is back with his wife and kids, and he has not had a drop of alcohol since getting the first shot! He is working and enjoying life and we have our son back! Thank you for not just taking our money and actually saving our son’s life!” -Robert and Melissa (client parents)
