Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Manistee, MI

Great Lakes Rehabilitation Center

I was sober for 11 years before I started drinking again. I was sober for 8 years before I met my husband and I’ve been with him for 3 years now. He knew I had a problem when I was younger but I had been sober for so long and I didn’t think a glass of wine at dinner now and then would matter. It sucks that I was so stupid after being sober for so long. Obviously, I wasn’t able to have a glass of wine now and then. The first time I went to rehab I went for alcohol and pills this second time I went for just alcohol. It didn’t get bad quickly or anything. I was able to drink a bit now and then for a little while. But, I started wanting more and more and started hiding it from my husband. I went Best Drug Rehab when my husband told me that I was either going to rehab or he was taking our child and leaving me. I didn’t want to lose my family but I also just wanted to be sober again. The whole time I was drinking I was justifying it in my head that I’d be alright all the while I knew that I wouldn’t be. Going to Best Drug Rehab was the right decision for me. I really liked the facility and the staff were really good with both me and my husband. I had gone through the whole thing before but my husband hadn’t and knew next to nothing about what I’d be going through and what I needed to do there. So the staff were really great with him. They explained everything to him about what I was doing and my progress throughout the whole program. My husband didn’t understand how I could let myself slip when we have a great marriage and we have a beautiful child together. It was hard for him to wrap his head around how I could be so stupid as to mess that up. The staff at BDR helped him just as much as they helped me and I’m really grateful for that. The level of care that I received when I was at BDR was amazing. I didn’t have any problems during my program and I didn’t cause any trouble and yet the staff there didn’t just take it as a given that I was okay. I really liked my program at BDR and it helped me tremendously. I started exercising regularly for the first time in my life and I feel amazing now. I stopped taking my sobriety as a given and working to make sure that I stay sober. I’m back home now and all the good habits I created at BDR I have kept them up. I still go running every day and it has been a great start to my days now. I’m happier now than I have been in a really long time and I’m so grateful for the help I received at BDR.
