Addiction Medicine

Provide Your Words of Advice



Ever felt like this flower? Wilted, sucked dry of energy, hopeless? Here at Creekside we have seen many different patients from all different walks of life,and all at some point have felt like this. Whether it was during treatment or before, everyone has felt feelings of hopelessness and isolation.

What helped you get through this? What kinds of things do you wish you could have done differently through your treatment? What may you wish you would have known before you started using opiates or alcohol?

Many people need encouragement before, during and after treatment. We are hoping these pages can be a source of that encouragement. What better place to get advice on addiction than from people who have already been there? So to those of you who have gotten treatment for addiction, whether it be here at Creekside or somewhere else, how about some words of advice. Share your experiences, advice or words of hope for those who are thinking about treatment or in treatment now.
