Getting through Detox
“When I first got to the withdrawal house at A Forever Recovery I was so afraid because I was in yet another rehab facility. Everyone was so nice to me even though I wasn’t so nice when I first arrived. The withdrawal staff were there for me when I was sad and they were there for me when I was happy. I got to feel feelings that I’ve never felt before and the staff helped me through that. I’m so happy that I had the opportunity to be a part of the withdrawal house because they helped me and I was able to help others who came in after me.”

“My time here at detox had two very different facets. The first three days that I spent in the withdrawal house were very scary. I wanted to leave the program and go home because I was afraid of going through withdrawal from drugs and alcohol. I found out after some medical help from the nurses and some very supportive advice from the withdrawal that I needed to stay. Going back home would have only kept me on a destructive path. I found through deep thought that no matter what I have lost at home thus far, I will be able to go home clean and be able to rebuild my life.”

“When I came into A Forever Recovery I had a very positive attitude towards this place. My mother and sister had gone over all of the facts with me and once we arrived, Corey toured us around the entire building. I am 26 years old and am tired of being an addict. My life has went in a totally opposite direction within the last year because of drugs. Throughout my life I have experienced withdrawal before. The withdrawal program is a great program at A Forever Recovery. The positive attitudes of the staff reflect onto the clients. I feel as if it made the mold for the entire program. I look forward to experiencing the rest of this journey.”

“In the withdrawal house I learned a lot. The most scary things to me was seeing how young people are with drug problems. Being a mom, it really opened my eyes. I prayed every night for this help and finally my prayers had been answered. I am very thankful to be here and intend on seeing the treatment program 100% all the way. I want to be a better mom, wife, daughter and person. Withdraw wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be and I feel really good. Just knowing that I don’t need a drug or alcohol to feel good or be able to function means so much to me. So thanks a lot withdraw team, I’m feeling good and I’m ready for the next step to getting better.

“When I arrived here my physical as well as mental condition was not at a level I was accustomed to living with and I knew it was a result of alcohol abuse. Through the staff at the withdraw house and the nurses, I feel as though I am ready physically to start on the mental part of this process. I feel better than I have in years. I use the analogy of a physical therapist, my father. A surgeon would save a life and he would teach them to walk. Detox saved my life, now I’m ready to learn how to live!”
