Testimonials
I somehow managed to stay alive and out of prison long enough to realize I was throwing away my entire life, including my children, the home I built, and especially my soul.
Dwain
(seven years clean)I am a part of CMHS because 13 years ago the SUD team accepted me for exactly who I was. CMHS taught me to own my truth and love me for me.
Jessica
(Mother and grandmother)I attended a 12 step meeting and it was the first time I didn’t feel alone. There were people like me who had found a new way to live without using.
Sarah
(Four years clean)Every night I thought “I regret my today.” I wanted so much more for myself and my children. That first day at the clinic was amazing. I felt normal again, like I had potential.
Lauren
(A two-party journey)I couldn't function if I didn't have any opiates. The last time I used I realized that I didn't have to do this anymore. I learned how to live life and now we have our baby boy.
Jenna
(Six years clean)The only thing you wanted was one more. But I broke free. I ran away from you. I broke down, swallowed my pride and asked for help. I got clean.
