Wow, reading some of these stories is like reading about my son & me.  My anger is so intense!!!  I am angry with him & angry with his dad for introducing the drugs & alcohol to him.  My son was sheltered & over-protected all his life… until dad came back into his life.  Now for the past 5 years the fear of my son dying is as real as the air I breathe & it is not fair!!  Why would anyone do this to their own child ?? All I can do is pray to God that my son wants help & wants to live & see his daughter grow up. I pray that God gives him the strength to fight this addiction.

Comment from the Director:

You are suffering terribly. I hear that. Each family situation is unique and yet the terrible pain brought on by addiciton is the same. When you say that, “All I can do is pray…” I wonder whether or not there is more than can be done.  We know of many, many families that have asked us the question, “well what else can we do?”  In almost every case, we have found that there is a lot we can do.  Loved ones get better faster if the famly becomes involved.  Consider call our admission department…ask them, “is there something else you can do?”  You might find out the phone call can be the first step in discovering “Yes!  There is something I can do!”  Sincerely,  The director.
