My husband went through the program at Behavioral Rehabilitation Services. 9 months ago he was in a really bad car accident and was prescribed pain medication. Over the next 6 months I knew he was taking his pain medication. I knew he was getting his prescriptions refilled regularly and I didn’t think much of it. He has never had any kind of problem with drugs or alcohol and I honestly didn’t think that at this point in our lives it would happen. I realized he had a problem when he told me that he had a problem. He came to me after he had called Behavioral Rehabilitation Services and set up everything for his stay. When he told me that he was going at first I thought he was just making his taking the pain medication into a bigger problem than it was. Then he got out his prescription history to show me. He was refilling his prescription sooner than he should have and over his last two appointments his prescription had increased in the number of pills given and the strength of each pill. He told me that he had also tried to get off of them by himself and it just wasn’t something he was able to do. I didn’t know before this happened that you could get addicted to something so easily. I have a couple friends who have gone through a drug addiction with a child and whenever we talked about it, everything was going just so wrong in their lives and the lives of their child. I know it was wrong but to a degree I thought if I had something like that happen to anyone in my family it would be really noticeable. It wasn’t at all and I am extremely lucky that my husband was able to realize that he needed a bit of help and found a place himself and sorted out all the details before telling me about it. Behavioral Rehabilitation Services was such a wonderful place for my husband to go. They were extremely professional and treated my husband with respect and dignity. My husband did well there and has done well since coming back home. He hasn’t taken any pain medication and has worked out how he can deal with the residual pain of his car accident without resorting to pain medication. He started getting massages while at BRS and has continued to do so since he’s been home. It’s helped a lot with his pain and I’m glad my husband is back and doing well.
When I decided to go to A Forever Recovery, I was ready to start a new life. I was determined to put the past behind and learn how to live my life without drugs. That’s exactly what I got from going to AFR, I learned how to navigate my life and my choices so that I wouldn’t fall back into the trap of drug use again. The tools I learned throughout my program are the reason that I’m still sober today. It’s been 6 months since I finished my program at AFR and I’m stable. By going through the program at AFR I learned so much about myself. I learned why I had been making the choices I was making and learned how to spot when things were getting harder in my life and to take a step back so that I didn’t fall into the same trap of using when I wasn’t happy or anything like that. When I was going through my program, I decided that going back home wouldn’t be great for me. I could have done it and stayed sober with what I learned at AFR but, because I had family in Colorado I decided to ask for help. Asking for help has always been hard for me. Whenever I asked for help from friends or family I felt like a failure and so wouldn’t do it. I was trying to do everything on my own and it wasn’t working for me. Going through my program at AFR helped me to realize that asking for help from my family wasn’t me failing but, getting support. So, I asked my aunt and uncle for their help and they’ve been amazing. My parents fully supported my decision to move away from them because it meant that I had a better chance at living a sober life. Since graduating from AFR and moving I’ve started working. I got a job 5 days after arriving in Colorado and I’ve been making it to work every day and I’m actually on time for it. I’m paying my own bills and everything else that comes with being an adult. Like I said earlier, I’m stable. Going from where I was before I went to AFR to where I am now since graduating is really great. I would have never imagined my life like this. Before I went to AFR I was positive that I was a drug addict and that I’d always be a drug addict, that I’d never beat my addiction and so I didn’t try very hard to beat it. Being around the people at AFR helped me to see that even though my life had been completely derailed by my addiction, going through the program and using what I learned there could and would give me my life back. The counselors at AFR helped me a lot throughout my program. Sometimes, it was just having someone to talk to about how my program was going or helping me deal with some issue I was having. Sometimes, it was the counselors calling me on my rubbish and not letting me get away with something that I’d have liked to have gotten away with at the time but, would’ve hindered my recovery. AFR isn’t on some busy street. It’s set back a way next to a lake and that privacy and serene atmosphere helped during my stay there. I was able to take a step back from my life, learn what I needed to learn and fix what I needed to fix so that I could start my new life without any extra baggage. I’m grateful for the time I spent at AFR, I’m a healthy, sober person now because I went there and it’s a rehab that I’d recommend to anyone needing help.
