Which Valley Hope location did you attend?
Valley Hope of Moundridge
What was your biggest takeaway as a patient at Valley Hope that has informed your recovery journey?
If anyone wants to go to a recovery center where the staff actually care about you then I would suggest going to Valley Hope of Moundridge. I can’t speak for any other recovery center because I’ve only been here.
What staff member most influenced your treatment stay?
My counselor Lana! She is the best and I love her for everything she did for me during my time there.
What is life like today in recovery?
I absolutely love my life in recovery! No drugs and no alcohol! I left Valley Hope and hit a meeting that same night and have been going to my home group there since.
What piece of advice would you share with others seeking recovery?
You have to want it! I mean with every fiber of your being and you have to do it for yourself and not because you were told to just to appease anyone else in your life.
