As an addict, life was tough, self inflicted yes, but tough – tougher leading up to and during holidays – it always felt like going into a perpetual twilight—a shadowy existence looming where the high, cravings and despair intertwined. Fighting it was hard and I bounced from using, to rehab, to doctor, to using.
But … I found Houghton House, a light of hope that illuminated my path toward self healing.
Let me share my story – journey to recovery a testament to how this remarkable facility transformed my life.
Embracing the Whole Person
At Houghton House, they don’t just see the addiction; they saw me — mind, body, and spirit. Their approach recognizes that addiction isn’t merely physical; it’s a complex web of emotions, memories, and struggles. From the moment I stepped through their doors, I felt understood. The compassionate staff acknowledged my pain, my journey to recovery and offered a lifeline.
Safe Spaces and Shared Journey to Recovery
Holidays were always my Achilles’ heel—a time when cravings clawed at my resolve. But Houghton House provided safe spaces—support groups where I met fellow warriors. We shared our experiences, fears, and victories. In those moments, I realized I wasn’t alone. Others had battled similar demons, and together, we forged bonds of camaraderie and hope.
Flexible Paths to Healing
Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Houghton House recognized this. Their full-time residential program cocooned me in structure, shielding me from triggers. But life doesn’t always pause for recovery. Their part-time facilities allowed me to attend therapy and counseling in my journey to recovery while maintaining my daily routines. It was a lifeline for those balancing work, family, and healing.
Guided by Recovering Hearts
The heartbeat of Houghton House lies in its team—accredited professionals many who’ve walked the same path – Alex will always be my hero. Doctors, nurses, and counselors who’ve faced addiction head-on. Their empathy isn’t textbook; it’s etched in their scars. They understood my cravings, my fears, and my fragile victories. Their commitment to excellence ensured I received the best care—because they’d been there too.
