With Drug Treatment Center Recovery From Addiction Is Possible

My name is Mary and I wanted to take a moment and tell you my recovery story and extend my deepest and most heartfelt thanks to your caring staff of rehabilitation specialists, therapists, counselors and everyone else who helped me. Without your Christian drug treatment center, I don’t know that I would even be alive today to tell my story.

I began my descent into drugs back when I was a pre-med student in college. A few of the other students and me began using various forms of narcotic pain relievers on a whim, we thought of it as somewhat of a joke. It never dawned on me then that just trying out different drugs could cause so much evil and destruction in my life and cost me so much. I was very wrong and extremely impressionable. Here I was a medical student and I was using drugs as if I hadn’t a care in the world. I knew the dangers surrounding drug use, but for some reason I didn’t care. Now I know that not caring is one of the hallmark signs of drug abuse and addiction.

My addiction escalated and began to include illicit street drugs such as cocaine and heroin. I had began using so many different types of drugs I couldn’t even begin to tell you all the different kinds. One day after a series of grueling classes, some friends and I decided we need a pick-me-up in the form of an amphetamine. Each of us took an injection and went back to do our midnight rotations at the hospital. I knew immediately something was very wrong, my heart was exploding in my chest, I was sweating profusely and very lightheaded, my knees when weak and I remember nothing after that point.

Waking up in the intensive care until with tubes stuffed down my throat was a humbling and eye-opening experience for me. It was then that I truly knew the extent of my addiction and that I need the help of a Christian drug treatment center if I were to get a handle on my drug abuse. I couldn’t keep going on like I was; I was destroying myself slowly by poisoning my body with a cocktail of different drugs.

I spoke to the Dean of my program and was surprised at how much compassion and forgiveness I was extended. She told me that in order to remain in my program of study, I needed to seek out a drug treatment program and stop using drugs completely. I knew I had one chance if I was going to turn my life around. Entering your Christian drug treatment program was the best decision I could have ever made.

I knew that if I was going to continue my studies and help others, first I had to help myself. With your Christian drug treatment center, I was able to do just that. From day one, I was treated with the utmost dignity and respect; I was never judged or made to feel ashamed for my problem. I got the help I needed and in the most caring and compassionate manner possible. You helped me find God, taught me to pray and through your guidance, I was able to put the destruction of drugs behind me and start my life over again, fresh and new. I look forward to helping others as much as you have helped me, thank you from the bottom of my heart, I will never, ever forget what you have done for me.
