My daughters remarkable transformation
Betinna’s father was astounded by the remarkable transformation and recovery his daughter experienced upon joining the rehabilitation program at Houghton House Rehab. Betinna discovered hope for a brighter future at Houghton House. Her father openly acknowledges their daughter’s battle with addiction and expresses gratitude for the professional and life changing assistance she received.
“Betinna was a wonderful child, but she fell in with a troublesome crowd around the age of 17. Despite our best efforts, we struggled to reach her,” Betinna’s father recounts. “The influence of drugs severely impacted her, and every conversation turned into a shouting match.”
Her destructive lifestyle reached a climax when Betinna was arrested in their family home and subsequently sentenced to a women’s correctional facility in Johannesburg.
“I remember our initial visit to check on her, and she was in tears, pleading for our help, begging us to get her out of jail,” Betinna’s father reminisces. “Deep down, though, we knew it was the best place for her. We firmly believed that if she weren’t in jail, she would have faced a tragic fate, either through violence or an overdose.”
After six months, Betinna was transferred to a different drug rehabilitation center, unfortunately, one with inadequate staffing where she was exposed to fellow drug users. The chances of transformation and recovery seemed distant.
“She called me, desperately imploring me to do something, to rescue her from that place,” her father recalls. “In response, her mother contacted Houghton House Rehab to see if they could provide assistance.”
Houghton House Rehab, a residential rehabilitation center & clinic based in Randburg, specializes in helping young individuals conquer alcohol and substance dependencies. As a private addiction treatment facility, Houghton House Rehab extended its aid to young people like Betinna, guiding them on the path to the transformation and recovery.
“Houghton House Rehab attentively listened to our concerns. They understood the hardships we were enduring, assuring us that they would admit our daughter into their rehabilitation program and care for her,” Betinna’s father affirms.
During her stay at Houghton House Rehab, Betinna experienced a significant improvement in her overall well-being and made remarkable progress toward her recovery. The positive change in Betinna’s demeanor overwhelmed her loved ones, rekindling a sense of hope.
“I distinctly recall one phone call from her. She sounded so joyous that it moved me to tears. It made me believe that she was experiencing transformation and recovery. We were gradually regaining the daughter we once knew,” Betinna’s father shares.
Over the following three months, the dark cloud that had enveloped Betinna’s life dissipated, and she began to reclaim her rightful place within her family.
Today, Betinna is content with a fulfilling full-time job, firmly committed to staying on the right path, and resolute in never returning to her former life.
