Got To Know The Missing Things In Life With Drug Treatment Center

My name is Jamie and I wanted to write to you all and tell you my story and to thank you for helping me get through one of the darkest and most difficult experiences of my life. Because of you, I have the strength to admit to the fact I had a life-threatening addiction to heroin. Before coming to Transformations Treatment Center, I was on the fast-track to hell and certain death, but because of you that part of my life is now over.

Before coming to Transformations Treatment Center, I was never religious, but one day I had a very real encounter with God that made me change my life and redirect my path. I am a 35 year old woman, a mother, wife and sister. I didn’t used to consider myself a Christian; I knew nothing about Jesus Christ or God. I had never taken drugs before, but because of some bad experiences I turned to drugs to help me cope with the stresses of everyday life. I used heroin for the first time about 5 years ago, and mistakenly thought it was a one-time thing, I was very wrong. I found myself hooked from the very first encounter and couldn’t stop; the truth is I didn’t want to stop because of the way using heroin made me feel.

During the height of my addiction, my husband decided to leave me because of my drug use. He was tired of being caught up in the vicious cycle of addiction, tired of my lies and tired of the pain I was causing myself and our family. One night, I was home all alone, it was dark and the house was so silent it was deafening. The most wonderful thing happened to me that night, instead of picking up the needle and using heroin, I felt the overwhelming urge to get down on my knees and pray. I wasn’t even sure who I was praying to or why, but I prayed for the very first time and God heard me and touched my life.

I knew that if I was to save myself and keep my family, I needed to do something drastic. Not being particularly religious, I still do not know what prompted me to seek out a Christian drug treatment center. I felt it was something I desperately needed to do in order to find a better path and get off drugs once and for all. I was so ashamed and frightened about getting help, but again I prayed and God helped me find the answers. I called Transformations Treatment Center and that one call changed the course of my entire life.

I didn’t want a traditional treatment center, I knew they weren’t able to help me in the way a Christian drug treatment center could. I knew they could never understand me the way a faith-based treatment program could, I needed to do this with the help of God and others who believed like I do. It was because of God that I decided to seek treatment and it is a decision I have never once regretted.

Within the safety and structure of your Christian drug treatment center, I felt whole and complete. I knew I was in the right place and that I would conquer my addiction to heroin. It was not an easy road, but with the help of your counselors, therapists and rehabilitation specialists I was able to become the healthy person I was meant to be.

I knew that with the help of a Christian drug treatment center, I would be able to get back on the right path in life. It was at your facility that I came to truly know the power of prayer and the joy of God’s love and forgiveness. I made a conscious commitment to getting better and with your help; I was able to do that. I turned a corner during treatment and made the choice to embrace God and allow him to put me on the path I was meant to be walking.

With your family therapy and counseling services, I was able to recommit myself to my husband and our family. While we are still working on repairing the damage I did with my addiction, I know now there is true hope that we will all come through this experience better and stronger than ever before. Thank you Transformations Treatment Center, I will be forever in your debt.
