Treatment Testimonies
My name is Raymond Juarez. I am a 40 year old Bakersfield native who has been in and out of the system for many years. I had chosen to live a life that included drugs and crime. AB109 and my time at Jason’s Retreat has allowed me to become the man that I am today. I have been able to learn copping skills and a new way of life.
The program at Jason’s Retreat has assisted me in being a more responsible, productive individual in the community. The staff at the program assisted me in finding out what kind of life that I really needed to live. The program allowed me to begin taking positive step and making smart choices in my personal life. Because of the program, I am now employed with a full-time job and I was able to move into my own apartment because of the abstinence I have sustained and the money I was able to save.
I am truly grateful for all the support that I received from the new family that I gained at Jason’s Retreat and Bakersfield Recovery Services. I would not be where I am today without them.
