Speakers: Joy Chiles, Addiction Counselor
Joy Chiles: But what I say to someone who's unsure about starting treatment, I would tell them, stop missing out on you. It's a great place to start to rebuild your life, to get back what you know that you've missed, to get what you deserve in life. To get back everything that the addiction has taken from you. I would be patient and answer the questions that they're fearful about. I would share with them how group counseling assists, how counselors assist, how medical staff assists, and especially that you can come to a place where you have genuine people with shared lived experiences who are ready to help and give unconditional support. What are you waiting on? It's time.
