Hear from a Former Resident Kevin, a client and former resident of the Friendship House, is celebrating his two-year sobriety on June 22nd. Although he faced many struggles and a relapse, Kevin finds himself as a productive member of society, working full-time and has his addiction under control. “They influenced me to where I want... to help people out.” Going in for treatment is a huge first step for many. Kevin was just released from prison and was unsure of what he was getting himself into.
Kevin had been living with his mother, but knew he needed additional help for his treatment. When Kevin first walked into the doors at the Friendship House Treatment Facility, he was greeted by the morning tech, Mary, and the rest of the staff. He found them to
be warm, accommodating, and amiable. Kevin found himself joking with Mary right away. Kevin knew the seriousness of why he was there but realized then that he could call the Friendship House
home. “From there, I told my mom when she was leaving, ‘I think I am going to like it here.’”
