Testimonial of a recovering addict who found addiction recovery with the help of our Christian drug treatment center program

My name is Julie, I am a 31 year old recovering prescription drug user, thanks to your Christian drug treatment center program for addicts that used drugs like me. I am truly a new person today because of your help, support and love.

Here is my story. I hope it helps others as you have helped me. I spent many years taking almost any type of prescription drugs I could get my hands on, it didn’t matter what kind of drug it happened to be. I have a history of abusing Ritalin, Xanax, Vicodin, GHB, Ecstasy and many others. It wasn’t until I suffered many health-related problems and lost my family and best friend, that I realized I was out-of-control and had an issue with drugs that I could not control.

I was a lost soul wandering through darkness with no hope in sight. I was drugging myself and engaging in risky, bad behavior. There was nothing anyone could do or say to stop me; I was on a one-way road to nowhere fast. I turned my back on my family and left my faith, I didn’t care what happened to me. I became promiscuous and didn’t have any goals; all I wanted to do was take drugs and nothing else.

My personal turning point came when I lost my best friend; Beth committed suicide by taking an overdose of anti-anxiety medication. Beth left me a good-bye note and in it she told me how alone and lost she felt. She never once let me know what was going on or how desperate she felt inside, she and I had lost touch because of drug use. I felt like if I hadn’t been so wrapped up in my own addiction maybe I would have seen she needed my help and been able to do something to save her.

It was after losing her that I realized how badly I needed God in my life, in order to give up drugs I had to have the help of a Christian drug treatment center program. I searched several different drug treatment centers for the treatment of my addiction and found they lacked what I was searching for, in order to find God again, I desperately needed a faith-based treatment program. Transformations Treatment Center was the place I kept revisiting over and over again; I was called by God to put my life in their very capable hands.

I entered Transformations Treatment Center with the intent of rebuilding a relationship with God and my family. What I found was complete acceptance, respect, compassion and love, everything I lacked before and so desperately needed if I were to recover. It wasn’t until I actually gave up control over my addiction and let God help me that I began to experience inner peace and spiritual awakening. I slowly rebuilt my life and reconnected with my family again for the first time in several years.

With the help of your Christian drug treatment center program, I found ways to cope with my demons and beat my addiction. Through time and patience, I was provided with the support and encouragement I needed to see that I could make a recovery and heal from the damages of drug addiction. Thank you Transformations, you transformed a life that was lost and taught me the true meaning of being thankful for everything I have, I owe you more than you could ever know.
