If you are putting money toward a family member’shealth and future, you need to make sure you’re making the best possible decision for your Parchment substance abuse recovery program. While the most prudent option may still be to speak to our helpline experts so they can discuss your specific requirements, reading how people are reviewing or rating some of the addiction rehab centers in your area is another great way to begin.
Recovery.org is owned and operated by American Addiction Centers (AAC). AAC is a leading rehabilitation provider, offering all levels of care from detox to sober living, including 9 inpatient facilities nationwide.
Plenty of food and candy, able to talk on phone, counselors help with setup for getting out, small facility Counselors don't spend any time with family and not even a daily visit with patient, patients rarely get to go outside, no literature available to read They'll only let you stay 60 days if you have medicaid, 90 days are reserved for prison exits... seems dumb since most withdrawals take 60 days and they have no detox program.
numerous recovery tools. group meetings are awesome. we are all there for the same purpose. to learn how to prevent relapse.
Going to Serenity Point Recovery has changed my life in such amazing ways. Because of the help I got and the changes I went through at Serenity I am working towards getting my daughter back for good. So many times, I tried to get clean so that I could raise my own daughter and just be with her while she’s growing up. Whether it was just trying to get clean by myself or going to just a detox it didn’t work. So badly I wanted to get clean and actually stay clean. You would think it wouldn’t be hard to not use drugs when you have a kid. There is a very good reason to not use and yet I couldn’t do it. Not because I didn’t want to stay clean, I felt almost like I just couldn’t stay clean and it killed me to not be able to do something this important for my daughter. My parents have been really great about everything with my daughter. While they wouldn’t hesitate to take her if I was using when I was clean for any length of time they wouldn’t stop me from seeing her or anything like that. The last time I relapsed my parents told me that I needed to go to a rehab and finish the program or they wouldn’t let me be around my daughter at all whether I was clean or not. I was the wake-up call I needed to get myself the help I really needed. When I found Serenity Point Recovery and showed the place to my parents they were really impressed with the whole place and agreed to send me there. I’m not going to tell you that for me everything was sunshine and unicorns once I got there. It wasn’t. I had a really hard time when I first got there. I have never been away from my daughter for that long before. I had a pattern before I went to Serenity. I would be clean for a week, go spend the night or weekend with my parents so I could stay with my daughter. I would leave on Sunday night or Monday morning and 3 hours after I left I would be in pretty rough shape mentally. Years ago, my parents and I agreed that until I was clean for over a year and doing well I wouldn’t be able to stay there for more than 2 days in a row. They were fearful of me bringing drugs in their house and with my daughter there it wasn’t something they were willing to risk just to give me a better shot of staying clean. I understood this and so when I had been clean for 2 weeks I would stay with them for a night or the weekend. I would be clean for a couple months going to see my daughter every weekend but it would get harder and harder to stay clean and eventually I would relapse. I would use drugs for a week to a week and a half and that would be it. I’d get myself clean or go to a detox and 2 weeks later I’d see my daughter. This had been going on for years before I went to Serenity. So being away from my daughter for the time it took to go through my program at Serenity was really had. After the first 2 weeks I was a complete and total mess. I wanted to go home, I wanted to see my daughter and I wanted to leave. One of the counselors talked with me for hours and during that time I was able to come to the decision on my own that I needed help. Not for my daughter’s sake or my parent’s sake but because I needed to be clean for me. That was the point where everything changed for me. The groups I would go started to be more about me and what I needed to do to change my life so that I could be happy and healthy. I put all of my energy into getting everything possible out of the program I was doing so that I could live the life I wanted. And now, I am living the life I want to live. I have been clean for 4 months now which is the longest I have stayed clean. When I go see my daughter I don’t leave my parent’s house a mental case. I hate leaving my daughter but I know I am doing what I need to be doing right now. My parents are really impressed with how well I have been doing and we have started talking about me spending more and more time at their house. They took away the rule that I couldn’t stay for more than 2 days and it’s been really nice earning their trust back and being able to stay with my daughter for more and more time. I know what I’m doing is right for me and my daughter and it was because of the help I got a Serenity that I can do all of this.
