Save Your Life With Drug Treatment Center

I know you probably get many letters from people telling you how much you helped them beat an addiction and how you have changed their life, but mine is a bit different. My name is Sammy and I am a 19 year-old college student, and I felt an overwhelming desire to send you this letter of thanks not for myself, but for what you did for my father, the only person I have left in the world.

For as long as I can remember, my father has been a heavy drug user. He would go through periods of severe depression and take drugs. I used to think it was because he was angry with me, but now I know differently, he used drugs as a way of self-protection and as a defense mechanism. It had nothing to do with me, my father did not know how to handle stress, and he became isolated and secretive. It was not until I participated in family counseling that I realized it was never because of something I did or didn’t do, my father had his own demons to confront.

When I turned 16 years old, my father’s life was turned upside down. We were attending a family reunion and my father had spent the day doing drugs, by mid-afternoon he was obviously under the heavy influence of drugs and in no condition to drive. I offered to drive him home, but he declined, snuck off and drove away leaving me stranded. Sometime later my aunt was driving me home and we came across the scene of an accident, I was horrified to realize it was my father’s car. He had been airlifted to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries and they didn’t know if he would even live until I made it to the hospital.

We drove as quickly as possible and by the time I got to the hospital, my father had received his last rites from the hospital chaplain. I was in tears as I sat by his bedside and as much as I tried, I couldn’t say good-bye. I was sad but also angry, my father had always taken foolish chances but when he did drugs he was out of control, now here he was dying and I was going to be left without the only parent I had left.

Through some miracle of God, my father spent the next two months in the hospital recovering from his injuries and he lived. I didn’t know whether to hug him or explode with rage, he had almost left me parentless, I knew I could no longer deny the problems my father had. I knew he needed to enter a Christian drug treatment center or he was going to take one chance to many and end up dead.

It was because of the Christian drug treatment center Transformations that my father was able to finally admit he had a problem with drug addiction and get the help he needed. I had spent years begging my father to quit using drugs, but nothing I said seemed to make a difference. I believe it was because of the power of prayer and God’s divine intervention that my father’s life was spared. He had never been a strongly committed religious person, but for some reason he was ready to reach out and let the hand of God touch his life and heal him.

With the help of a Christian drug treatment center, my father began his personal journey to healing and recovery. I saw before my eyes as he was transformed from a substance abuser into a recovery patient, it was nothing short of a miracle that he was able to successfully overcome the demons of his addiction. Transformations Treatment Center was an important part of him getting the help he needed, and getting the strength to move on to a life free from the perils and dangers of addiction.
