Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Commerce Township, MI

My sister went through the program and they helped her so much. She'd been using for 20 years but it got really bad 3 years before she went to BRS. She spent 6 months at BRS and really enjoyed her time there. They helped her understand so much about her drug addiction, not just from the time it got bad but for the long time before that.

A Forever Recovery

When I was younger I dealt with a lot of depression from being overweight and people making fun of me. It was an everyday thing in my life I felt worthless I felt unattractive so when I turned 16 and was in high school I met a group of friends that accepted me for who I am. The only thing I did not like is the fact that they took pills they smoked and they got drunk on a regular basis. I had good grades I had never touched a pill or smoked a day in my life. One day I decided to try the pills they were all taking which were ecstasy and I loved the feeling it gave me. I soon began taking any pills I could get my hands on. The pills and the drinking I felt like helped me cope with life helped my pain I felt inside even if it was temporary could not get enough of the feeling. I had begun to go downhill after that I quit school never went back I never graduated and all of my so called friends just disappeared little by little until I was alone again just me my loneliness and my thoughts. I thought I was already as low as I could go until I decided I did not want to live anymore and I took a whole bottle of pills that my mom had. All I know is I felt really guilty when I woke up sober in the hospital with my mom crying over me. I could not believe I had let her down so much my whole family down I realized I was being selfish and it was time to get control of my life back. I had not had control in so long I knew I could not do it alone I sucked up my pride and I asked my mom to help me. My mom made some phone calls and by the time she got back with me I already had a flight booked and everything I was definitely ready. It was the hardest decision I felt like I ever made in my life but I knew I had to do it. I was tired of depending on my mom to support me depending on drugs to live and cure my pain I needed something new I had to change my life and this was a start for me.i got on the plane and made my way to a forever recovery. I was greeted as soon as I walked in they made me feel comfortable and told me they were there to work for me I felt safe. I was among others who understood what I had been through and the long road ahead they offered words of encouragement every day. I am not going to lie some days I felt like giving up but when I did there was always someone there to help me cope. I learned new skills while I was there and I met new friends that now feel like family to me. I am thankful I made this decision to go to treatment had I not I do not know where I would be in my life. These staff members treated me as though I was family I never went without anything I needed and I always had someone to talk to. They deserve praise for what they do there in the facility I know the job they have cannot be easy but you can’t tell they were always smiling always friendly. After I left treatment I decided to go back to school and get my god and I was successful it was hard very hard but I pulled through and I even got to walk on the stage for it. I am now employed I love my job I have plenty of friends probably more than I need actually. I am surviving thanks to a forever recovery for giving me the courage and the skills to face the world sober and learn to live my life without drugs or alcohol. I am hoping to start some fall college classes and go to school to be a counselor I would love to help others in the way I was helped I want to one day make a difference in some one’s life. If I can keep one person from going down the same road I did I would love do make that happen. I am thankful the staff members at a forever recovery cared about me enough to want to help me to want to see me succeed in life. they gave me the tools I had never had before and the doctors did not push me away like most would with medication they wanted to help me genuinely I am alive today because of these people I truly am grateful for everything they taught me everything they did for me. I want to hopefully go back one day and thank everyone personally and show them this whole new person I am today and it’s all because of them. My life has now actually begun and I am excited for this journey I am on today. Thank you to everyone that helped me and I recommend anyone out there looking for help to get help at a forever recovery they truly care for you and it will change your whole life.
