Cove Center For Recovery
- Testimonial - Drug Addiction and Recovery
I have a 19 year old son who was struggling with
drug abuse for approximately three years. He started
smoking marijuana when he was 16 years old. When
he was 18 years old, he started taking Oxycodone.
Eventually, I found out he was taking Roxycodone
(Roxies) too. He wasn’t going to classes,
which resulted in him dropping out of college.
He started arguing with me when I tried to talk
with him, redirect him, or offer help. I couldn’t
help him see that he was destroying his future.
Things became so bad that every day I waited for
the phone call that would tell me my son was in
jail or dead. My heart was breaking. I couldn’t
stop thinking about the great times we had when
he was a little boy. He was always cooperative
and even tempered. He laughed all the time. He
was always very affectionate. I know it can be
painful when children grow up and begin to have
their own life and need less support from parents.
However, I did not expect this kind of pain and
helplessness that I was enduring. I would look
at him and know he was my son, but it seemed as
if he was someone else. I wanted my son back.
I wanted him back for me, our family, and for
him.
I called the Cove Center For Recovery, looking
for answers and direction. The Cove helped me
from the very first phone call. The owner, Chris
Walsh, helped me plan and complete an Intervention,
which led to my son agreeing to go to their residential
treatment program. The Clinical Director and the
therapists created a treatment plan, specifically
to meet the needs of my son. The staff was nurturing
and supportive, but direct and firm in the day-to-day
struggles of the beginning stages of recovery.
He completed 90 days in the Cove Center For Recovery.
During that time, I began to see my son, the little
boy I raised, know and love, return to me and
our family. He began to look like himself again.
He sounded like himself again.
Now, my son is attending college and working hard
towards achieving his goals. We have quality time
together as a family. At the Cove, he learned
coping skills and developed a foundation to help
him live his life, without prescription drugs
or any substances. The Cove Center For Recovery
brought my son back to me and our family. I am
forever grateful.
Sincerely,
Sharon W.
