The person my daughter has become since going to Serenity is beyond anything I could have hoped for. My daughter went to Serenity because my husband and I decided that until she had gone to and completed a treatment program we wouldn’t allow her to come see her daughter who has been living with us since my daughter got hooked on drugs. It wasn’t an easy decision by any means but we both felt that she wasn’t going to change until she had to. Though my granddaughter has been living with us we have never kept her away from her mom. Once a week when my daughter was clean she would come spend the night so she could be with her daughter. The longer this went on however the more unsure we were if she was going to come that week or if she would be getting high. It wasn’t good for anybody but my granddaughter most of all so we decided she wouldn’t be allowed back until she had gone through a rehab program. When my daughter first left to go to Serenity she had the idea that it would be an easy thing to do in order stay in her daughter’s life. I knew she would have a pretty rough time at first because though our granddaughter has been living with us her mom never went very long without seeing her daughter. I was right about that. A couple weeks after getting there was when she started having trouble and wanting. At Serenity, they have people working there who have been addicted to drugs and have gotten themselves clean. I was skeptical about this at first but it was one of the staff members who had overcome their own addiction that help my daughter realize that she couldn’t do the program just to be able to see her daughter but that she needed to do the program for herself so that she could have a better life. After that is when my daughter really started to change. She started looking at things they talked about in their groups on a personal level and what she needed to do in her life. Though she did have bad days every once in a while when she was at Serenity for the most part she went through her program fairly smoothly. She came home for a couple months after completing in the program and it was amazing to see how much she had really changed while she was there. We didn’t go see her while she was at Serenity and so seeing the changes in her appearance and demeanor was drastic. She’s back at Serenity now, working there to help people the same way she was helped and she’s planning on going back to school to get a degree in counseling so that she came be of even more help. It really amazes me almost on a daily basis how much better my daughter is doing since going to Serenity. She’s working on getting everything set up so that her daughter can start living with her again. I am forever indebted to the Serenity program and the people working at that facility for giving my daughter her life back and making it possible for my granddaughter to grow up living with her mom instead of her grandparents.
My brother did really good at Awakenings. This program seemed to mesh well with him and his needs. One thing about this program that worked so well for him was that it's a mostly holistic program. He was diagnosed with depression when he was 16 and has been on medication since then. At Awakenings they didn't try to take him off his meds, didn't tell him that he didn't need it. They also didn't prescribe any additional medication there. They don't do that. You stay what you're on when you get there and that's it. That along with the staff, the treatment program he did and everything else, he had a great experience there. The staff were easy to get along with and easy to work with. The other clients helped my brother a lot as well. They helped him fit in when he first got there and made him comfortable there. My brother had a easy time staying through his program because he liked it there. He learned a lot about himself and how best to keep himself sober. They didn't take him off his medication but, they also didn't try to prescribe anything while he was there. All that combined just worked for him and made Awakenings a wonderful rehab that he benefited greatly from going to. I never tried it but heard the food could be better. Could use more staff members too but, the staff they have are amazing.
5 years ago, I had never used a drug in my life. I didn’t know what Suboxone was or the difference between Suboxone and Vicodin. Then, I got into a car accident and my doctor prescribed me Vicodin. I was in a lot of pain for a while but the pain did taper off and I should have gotten off the Vicodin. Instead, I lied to my doctor and my husband about how much pain I was actually in so that my doctor would keep prescribing the Vicodin. Eventually I did tell my husband what I was doing but by that time I had been addicted to the Vicodin for a while. I ended up on Suboxone after that. My husband and I both thought that I would be able to wean myself down from the Suboxone. It didn’t work out that way though and I stayed on Suboxone for 3 years. I hated going through withdrawals so I wasn’t ever able to get off the Suboxone. 3 years of Suboxone a year of which I was taking Vicodin to get off the Suboxone and then Suboxone when I couldn’t deal with the discomfort and my husband finally got fed up and found me a rehab. I did not want to go, not at all. Truthfully, the idea of going to rehab was like my own version of hell. I had this thought that it would be awful. All hard-plastic chairs, super hardcore drug addicts that I would be scared of and stuck in a hospital. In my head I knew I was wrong and not all rehabs would be anywhere close to that but still, I didn’t want to go. It took a bit and a lot of pictures and videos of the facility for me to agree to go. I finally did though and it turned out not so bad at all. I actually really liked it there. It was much easier detoxing there than it had been at home. There I had someone who understood what I was feeling and the best thing to do so I could get through it. I did try to leave after detox. I figured that I was only having trouble with the getting off everything part and once I did that I would be fine. Yeah, not at all. Turns out, I was only having trouble with the getting off everything part and nothing else because I had never made it past the getting off everything part. The first time I had a rough day I wanted Vicodin. If I would have left BDR when I wanted to I would have used the first time I had a rough day. By staying at BDR I was able to learn how to deal with those bad days without taking a drug. I started exercising again while I was there and I feel so much better now. I didn’t realize how yucky and gross I had been feeling while I was taking the Suboxone and the Vicodin. I feel great now though and my life is back to normal and my marriage is back to being pretty damn awesome. BDR really worked for me.
