Never in her wildest dreams did Julie think she’d seek out treatment for addiction. Like many, Julie’s experience was not “instantaneous addiction.” It grew over time, slowly deteriorating parts of her life and chipping away pieces of who she was.  Her addiction left her feeling isolated and hopeless.

She decided to make a change and seek treatment and was referred to Fora Health. A few days into her residential treatment, she questioned it – was this the right choice? Could she do it?

“I remember calling my son two days later, saying, ‘I can’t do this. I can’t be here for three months!’

And he talked me through it, and he said, ‘Mom, look, you gotta stay. You gotta do this.’

I’ve never been so grateful for anything in my life. At my graduation, there were people in the audience who were new to inpatient treatment, and I wanted them to know that this place absolutely saved my life. Without a doubt, if I had not come here, I would have been on my way to dying.

When I came here, I was so depressed, and everything in the world was so dark and gloomy, and now I’m happy. I am happy every single day, and this place saved me. I’ve never been so grateful for anything in my life.”
