Sara's Story
|
I took my first drink when I was 12 years old. I took it from my parents liquor cabinet.....I added water so it wouldn't be noticed. I began drinking more socially in high school, and became a blackout drinker by the time I turned 18. I was smoking marijuana and just after high school I tried cocaine for the first time.
I wasn't a bad kid - I was different though, at least that's how I felt. People liked me better when I was under the influence, or so I thought. I wanted to be liked, I wanted to belong. |
Our Recovery Philosophy
|
We believe that recovery is a journey, not a destination. We believe in the inherent value of each individual in our care regardless of relapse: Your value is not determined by your ability to abstain from using illicit drugs. We believe in the power of choice and of teaching good decision making. We provide the platform to make good decisions and we provide a safe place when poor decision are made. We believe in teaching effective communication and the value of open honest relationships. We believe in family, friendship and fun.
