ARC Feels Like Home – Samantha’s Story and Testimonial
When a person is overcoming addiction, it is imperative they feel comfortable where they are being treated. Our campus will become a second home, and no matter how many times a patient relapses in their journey, we will always welcome them back with open arms and no judgment. It is our mission that we create a safe space for people to heal.
Samantha’s Story
Growing up in a toxic and abusive household triggered a series of events that pushed Samantha to use drugs. Along with addiction she was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Before having a clear diagnosis through treatment, Samantha was self medicating her negative thoughts and anxiety with substances that made her forget. After years of losing herself and her grip on life she decided to come to ARC. After her treatment she left the campus to continue her journey of recovery. A little while after leaving ARC, Samantha relapsed and began using again. Eighty-five percent of people relapse after their first treatment for addiction. Samantha is now doing her second round of treatment at ARC. She is growing on her skillset and tools she learned during her first treatment and is expanding on her mental and physical health.
