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."
