It took waking up on the street to persuade me to get help for my addiction. That night, I picked up the phone and called the drug-rehab.org Call Center. It’s a year later. I’m drug-free, and I have urged many other addicts I know to call the drug-rehab.org Call Center. Thank you.TT – Teacher
When my son, Byron, started stumbling in from school and even from work, it was obvious he was “on” something. Desperate, I called the drug-rehab.org Call Center. Within hours, one of their treatment facilities was ready for Byron. He has now been “clean” for three years and is in college.DM – Desperate Mother
Sam, my 17-year-old, was arrested for attempting to buy heroin from an undercover cop. His lawyer suggested we find a treatment facility. We called the drug-rehab.org Call Center. Sam was in treatment within 24 hours. Sam completed his addiction treatment, and received probation – and more importantly, a new lease on life.MP – Mother
My husband didn’t mean to end up an alcoholic. But the nightcap before bed soon became many drinks every night. Thank goodness we called the drug-rehab.org Call Center. My husband is well on his way to sobriety now.JT – Happy Wife
