Testimonials

I am more grateful in my life today than I have ever been before. I am the mother of three children. I have been active in my drug and alcohol addiction for over ten years. Recently I entered into a treatment facility that has helped me in extraordinary ways to change my life. I am currently clean and sober and have grown in to a woman with integrity, courage, strength and hope. I have two times over been involved with the departmet of famly and children service having my children removed from me for various reasons. My work in treatment has helped me to rebuild a healthy relationship with both of my male children and the soon reunification with my younger daughter. Having God, an understanding sponsor, and being a resident at the Ozanam treatment facility has given me the second chance that I needed and well deserved at a first class life. I am still growing; looking forward to housing that’s affordable for my family that suits my disabilities, and striving to prove to myself that I am worth these blessings. The staff & alumni have been working with me to be able to accomplish my life long goals. Thank you Frederick Ilanam Womens Recovery Center.

I came to DVR a tired heroin addict trying to avoid going to prison, but in my time here I changed everything about my lifestyle. Thanks to DVR, I get to be of service every day and I see the promises being fulfilled in my life. I love the Ranch, it was like a home to me.

DVR has given me the opportunity and necessary tools to restructure my belief system so that I can cope with life without using drugs. With the help of the Ranch, I have been able to work on doing the next right thing every day.

I went from a homeless heroin addict to a functioning, productive member of society. I am now going to school to become a substance use counselor. My transformation is all thanks to DVR, without the ranch I don’t know where I would be.
