UMADAOP Stars Honoree Gala

BRIAN My name is Brian Pitts and I entered Joshua treatment center on December 4, 2019, sick and suffering while in treatment. I learned different things about what I suffer from and new life skills and how to deal with my shit disease here the staff there was very helpful help me understand more about myself and what it was going to take for me to stay clean up on leaving Joshua treatment center. I went to the Beacon House which is associated also with Joshua Treatment Center. I stayed there for two years as I continued to learn about Recovery and while there they helped me to reestablish myself in society I got a job, my first car, and since then have been at my job for the past three years since I bought a house I’ve gotten married, and now it’s continuing on and Recovery will have four years clear this com- ing December 4. By the grace of God, I will be forever grateful for Joshua Treatment Center which helped save my life.

DANIELLE “ I started my healing in recovery many years ago however it didn’t truly happen until 2009 when i came to the Phoenix House for the second time. I am a 48 year old strong courageous fierce women in recovery as of July 29, 2009. I am a mother sister grandmother friend employee and a believer in Jesus. The Phoenix House was where i learned all of these things. How to be and how to continue to be the woman i wanted to be. I continued my journey by helping others in recovery in 2012 when i became and employee of Lima Umadaop and i am still helping others in recovery as an Alumni director. I am one of the ones who ignored the glass ceiling and i am evolving daily. Life has been a wave of ups and downs but through it all i remained humble and grateful. I am a woman with a voice and my past no longer defines me.”
