Testimonials

"In January 2014, I gave birth to my baby Lila and that is when CPS came into my life. My baby and I both tested positive for meth and my husband TJ was also using. CPS told me that if I didn't stop messing around with drugs, they would take her, and my other children, for good. I was given a choice to go to ADACCV Sara's House for treatment. I decided to try ADACCV. I got to Sara's House two days after giving birth. I was there for two months and was able to take my baby and my 10-month-old daughter as well."

"At first, I was tired and moody all the time and was not happy to be there at all. I was so tired that it was hard to wake up with my baby in the middle of the night. Thankfully my roommate was able to help me when I was really low. I also talked a lot to my counselor. The staff at Sara's House was never far away and always encouraged me. Finally, one day, I "woke up" and realized that I had been given a second chance that I did not deserve. Everything started to change. I started listening in the classes and groups that ADACCV offered. I realized that the life that I was living really was not life at all. I knew that things had to change. I was not being a mother to my children. I was not being a wife to my husband. I started to believe that I was worth more than the life I had been living. Getting to graduation day was not easy, but I did it. I was excited and so happy. I was proud of myself- I had accomplished something! I stayed in San Angelo after graduation because this is where my recovery started."

"JRC was the first step in changing my life for the better, I not only went there and got clean off drugs they gave me the tools to start living my best possible life. After about 9 months of living at Sarah's house, I was ready to take all that ADACCV had poured into me and I got my own place where I got my children back and began volunteering out at the JRC and passing on the same love that saved my life to other girls who were just like me. And just when I thought ADACCV couldn't possibly show me anymore love, I got hired on as DCS and I now have almost a year with ADACCV and I have 3 1/2 years clean off drugs."
