We invite you to support Elevate so that we can continue to support the people who mean so much to you — your family member, friend, co-worker or neighbor!
We know recovery from substance abuse and mental illness IS POSSIBLE — and so do these clients, who, because of the support they received or are currently receiving from our staff, are in recovery.
Julie
Julie was in active addiction for 17 years. During those years she chose drugs over her daughter and family as well as her job and even herself. She was in and out of jail and treatment for years. Finding herself pregnant for the second time, Julie chose Drug Court and Elevate to help her find and stay in recovery. She has been sober for more than two years. Her goal is to continue being a true mom to her two children.
Alysia
Alysia struggled as a young Hispanic girl growing up in a home where her family abused alcohol and drugs. By nine she was using herself. By the time she was 20 she ended up serving three and a half years in prison. After her release she went right back to using and was sent back to prison for an additional two years. Alysia credits Drug Court and Elevate with saving her life as she is back in recovery and has regained custody of her 14-year-old son. She hopes to graduate from college and become a Substance Abuse Counselor.
Wendy
Wendy started drinking when she was just 12 years old. As a youth, she drank so much that she ended up hospitalized twice. As the years passed, she turned to other drugs and what she called reckless behavior. She even tried to take her life. Going through a messy divorce and battling bipolar disease only made things more difficult. She started to self-harm through cutting and increased her substance abuse. Then, one day, she made the decision to get the help she needed to stop using and get the support she needed for her addiction and mental illness. She’s on her road to recovery with the hopes and dreams we all have—a life where she can live independently in a safe and secure home with family who loves, understands and supports her.
