Walking into addiction treatment is no breeze. You don’t know what’s coming, you don’t know who you’ll meet, and you’re terrified of how you’re going to feel. It’s straight up scary.
Jamie showed up feeling unsure, intimidated, and overwhelmed. “I went into Sunflower unsure of what to expect…” But she did it anyway. And on the other side of that fear was freedom.
“First, the staff was amazing! The food was amazing.”
Look, we’re not saying food fixes everything, but… amazing staff and amazing meals? That’s a pretty solid start.
From day one, Jamie was surrounded and supported by a recovery team that was invested in her treatment. The majority of the Sunflower staff are in long-term recovery so they understand that this is more than just rehab - it’s a second chance at life.
“But the experience was more than I could have ever anticipated.”
Recovery isn’t just about staying sober. It’s about finding yourself again - maybe even for the first time.
For Jamie, Sunflower was more than an addiction treatment program, it was a turning point in her life. A place she made the decision that enough was enough and she wanted more out of life.
“I have not had a drink in a year now.”
On average, it takes people upwards of 5 attempts to attain long-term sobriety. Jamie did it on her first go-around. We think that says a lot of Sunflower and even more about Jamie.
One year. That’s 365 days of saying no to the old life and yes to something better. One full year of growth, healing, and showing up for herself. Talk about a spiritual awakening!
“I would have never been able to do it without the help I received at Sunflower. Truly life saving.”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
Feeling like Jamie did before she came to Sunflower? Unsure if you can do it? You can. And we’re here to help. Reach out. We’ve got a spot waiting for you on the other side of uncertainty.
