About: Shanty Creek Residential Rehabilitation Facility

(as the patient),

Hi, for the last 13 weeks, I have been in a rehabilitation center. live lived well, and what a journey it has been! 14 weeks ago, I hit rock bottom; I was lost and confused about a lot of things. I was in a very dark place, so I took the first step to get help. At first, I did not want to do it; I was nervous and did not know what to expect. But I can honestly say now that I did the right thing.

It has changed my whole life, and I have a whole new outlook on life now. I just want to say a big thank you to the whole team at Shanty Creek Rehab. I will never forget what you guys have done for me. I'm so grateful for all your guidance and support. Now, to my case worker, I just want to say a big thank you. Change is possible; you just have to put in the hard work and you will get there, and be honest with yourself. Once again, thank you!

Hi puppisdm74,

Congratulations on your completion of the program at Shanty Creek. 13 weeks in treatment is a huge commitment, and it sounds like you have embraced the opportunity.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, by being so vulnerable about what brought you into treatment, I am sure you will have helped others who are considering to make changes in their lives.

I will pass your message on to the team at Shanty Creek, who I am sure are super proud of your achievements.

Thank you again for taking the time to write this message, and remember to reach out if you even need any support of guidance in the future.

Kris
