Treatment Testimonies

I started using when I was 12 years old. This led to years of committing crimes and incarcerations.  In March 2018, I lost my daughter to CPS when I went back to jail. 

While incarcerated, I took the Matrix program.  It helped me learn to respond to challenges in more positive ways.  Upon graduating the program, I moved into sober living for six months.  During that time, I got my daughter back.

While at Jason’s Retreat I was able to complete 16 weeks of parenting classes and five months of outpatient treatment. The programs and assistance there set me on a positive path that helps ensure I stay on the right track.  I found a sponsor and acquired tools and created a new life that didn’t include using.   

Today my life is wonderful, amazing.  I battled through many obstacles and am determined to make a better life for my kids and myself. I am attending college and have career goals, including becoming a drug and alcohol counselor.  I hope to use my life experience and education to help others as I was helped through this program.
