When my son was 2 years old I started taking pain pills. I’ve had migraines my whole life but they got extremely bad around that time and with a child I wasn’t able to just lay down for an entire day. My doctor prescribed me my regular migraine medication and some Vicodin. There were times when I would wake up with a migraine for days in a row and my tolerance for Vicodin became higher and higher while my migraines became more and more frequent. My doctor went from prescribing me Vicodin to Percocet to Roxicodone and the number of pills he was prescribing became higher and higher. Within 2 years I was a complete mess. My husband knew I was taking the pain medication and we could both see that it was becoming more and more of a problem. However, with the fact that I was in almost constant pain I couldn’t see any solution to the problem. The reason I started taking the pain meds was so that I could function and take care of our child when I had a migraine. As my habit became worse and worse we decided that I couldn’t really be trusted to take care of our child by myself and we started hiring a nanny to help me take care of our child. When we decided on this the reason I started taking the pain meds wasn’t there anymore. I couldn’t take care of our son when I had a migraine but I also couldn’t take care of him when I was taking the pain meds. At first I tried to stop taking the pills cold turkey. I couldn’t do it like that so we tried weaning me off them at home and that was a bad idea. I love my husband but that week where we tried to wean me off the pills almost killed our marriage. We realized that if we wanted to save our marriage I would have to go somewhere else to detox and so we found a place for me to detox. I was there for a week and a half and when I came home I had been off everything for 2 days. It was another 2 days before I started using my meds again. I think the only reason I’m still married to my husband today is that I never lied to him about what was going on. I never hid the pills I was taking or anything like that. It was when I started using the meds again that I realized I was well and truly a drug addict. Before that, I was in complete denial about that fact. I had thought that once I was off the pain meds I would completely okay with not using them again. It didn’t work out that way and 2 months later I was in my first rehab. I was a horrible person to everyone there. I was still under the impression that I wasn’t really a drug addict. Most of the other patients at the rehab I was at were there for heroin or meth or something like that. For some reason that made me think I was better than them when that really wasn’t the case at all. I relapsed after that rehab and the next 3 rehabs after that. Behavioral Rehabilitation Services was the 5th rehab I have been to. I got more help at BRS than at all the other rehabs combined. The facility is really beautiful and the staff there are wonderful. They made me confront my life and my addiction in a way that no one else has done before. They didn’t let me delude myself into thinking that my addiction wasn’t as bad as it was. After the 4 rehabs I had been to previously you would think that I would have confronted the fact that I was truly addicted to drugs. I hadn’t though, not at all. What was great about BRS is that while they made me confront my addiction head on they did it in a way that I was comfortable with and because of that I was able to get much more out of my program at BRS. At BRS I felt that I was understood so much better. Whether I was talking to my counselor one on one or whether I was in a group I felt like I could talk and be understood. I got the help I needed when I was at Behavioral Rehabilitation Services and because of that I able to take an active part in my son’s life. For the first time in years I’m being a mother and a wife. After so many failed attempts at rehab I feel like I’m in control of my life again.
I love who I’ve become since I got to Serenity. I have been on and off pain pills since I was 20 and I couldn’t seem to find a way to just stop taking them. With every rehab before when I would finish my program and come home I would have the best of intentions. After a while though it would feel like I was holding off on relapsing for as long as I could instead of just living my life while remaining drug free. Going to Serenity and doing the program there felt completely different from the start. The place was really nice and I was able to actually enjoy myself while I was there. I started doing yoga while I was there. It started with me just doing the class because I was a bit bored and wanted a break in the day. It ended up being so much more though. I really enjoyed the yoga classes and have kept doing yoga since then. It’s amazing to me how much such a simple thing really helped me. Every time I went to a yoga class I was more clear headed and my focus throughout the day was much better. One of the things that I’ve always hated about going to rehab is that I always gain too much weight. It doesn’t seem like such a big deal and most people come to rehab pretty underweight and need to gain that weight back. That’s always been the case for me as well. Whenever I’ve left a rehab though I was at the least 10 pounds overweight and I hated it. A lot of the rehabs I’ve been to don’t have very good food. The food at Serenity though? So good. The weight I gained there was weight that I needed to gain. The food there was healthy and made really well. That along with the exercise I did there ensured that I when I finished the program I was just healthy. When I finished my program I felt good about myself which has really helped me continue to stay clean. The whole time I was at Serenity I was able to get help from the people working there whenever I needed help. The staff there will take time out of their day just to make sure you’re doing alright and that you have everything you need. I loved being able to talk to a staff member who has their own experiences with drug addiction. It makes it so much easier to talk about things that normally you wouldn’t want to because you know that they understand completely and won’t judge you for the things you’ve done. I’m happier now than I have been in so long and I owe it to the staff and the program at Serenity. It’s pretty fantastic to feel this good about myself and where I am in life.
