In Their Own Words

Maureen says...

I have struggled with addiction for at least 47 years. I’m 57 now. There is not a bridge that I haven’t burnt with my blood family. I have one friend who has been in my life for almost 20 years and since coming to MOD, I now have a family. I know I am safe and secure living here. Not all days are good for me but the staff always makes time for me and for this I am truly grateful. I thank my support system here and I thank you all for helping me to stay clean and sober and allowing me to be able to feel safe at night.
