Thanks to TTC and Nathan my therapist, I found recovery from addiction at your drug treatment center

Your drug treatment center has saved my life. My name is Kristi, and I am writing to let you know you made a profound difference in my life and helped me change my ways. I am no longer addicted to heroin, I have found God and I am happier than I have ever been, and it is all because of you and your caring staff. I have my life back and am happier, healthier and stronger than ever before.

My story of heroin addiction began more than ten years ago, after a series of bad decisions and mistakes I was left homeless. Once on the street, I found myself truly not caring what happened to me, my family tried to intervene but they didn’t know how to reach me. I was caught up in a cycle of drugging and hurting myself, I didn’t care what I had to do as long as I got to shoot up and use heroin. I ignored everything and everyone, the addiction had taken total hold over my life and I was on a one-way street to death, nothing could stop me.

The addiction was slowly killing me, but I didn’t care. I welcomed anything that would keep from realizing the truth of my hopeless situation. Hopelessness and shame were two big components of my drug use; I truly felt I had no other option and that if I admitted the gravity of it, nobody would care. I was very wrong on both counts, I did have people who genuinely cared about me, and it was me who didn’t care about anything or anyone.

I suffered a drug overdose in a dirty, dark alley and almost died, this was the night I got my wake up call. I knew that without a drug treatment center, I was a goner. I was sick all of the time because when I couldn’t use heroin, I would shake, sweat, have mood swings and be prone to violence. I had suffered some health setbacks and knew deep down that it had everything to do with my addiction. It wasn’t until I suffered an overdose; I realized how badly I needed help.

For some reason, as I was lying in that hospital bed and faced confronting my family and my addiction, I knew I had to make a change. I had collapsed almost of all of veins, contracted hepatitis and suffered from secondary infections as well. My doctor told me if I didn’t get some type of addiction help, I would be dead in a matter of months. This was the wake up I needed, it was enough to spur me into seeking the help of a drug treatment center.

This was when I contacted Transformations Treatment Center, and my life finally took a turn for the better for the first time in a very long time. I entered the rehab program and immediately noticed I was provided with constant support and encouragement, I was never made to feel ashamed or guilty.

Thanks to your drug treatment center, I was given a new lease on life. Anytime I needed someone to talk to, there was a loving counselor or therapist available. Anytime I was feeling weak or unsure of things, all I had to do was reach out to a helpful rehab specialist and we prayed together. Attending church sessions allowed me to rebuild a relationship with God and experience the miracle of recovery and healing. Thank you Transformations Treatment Center, without your help, I know I wouldn’t be here today!
