“I thought I was unlike all the others because I sniffed, instead of shooting heroin, I still had my home, not as many incarcerations and I dressed nicer. I didn’t take my Program seriously and went back out to lose everything that made me unique. After a year of unbelievable suffering and many more incarcerations, I was given the Grace to return to the Damascus House and because I wasn’t judged for my previous behaviors here, I am grateful and I am coming to believe. Gee”

“I entered the Damascus House in May, 2000 and brought with me a 30 year history of drug abuse and numerous drug related incarcerations. During my time there, I finally learned to live life as a responsible human being and have not found it necessary to use drugs, be unemployed or homeless, nor a missing family member since then. Thank you Damascus House!”   John W.

“I was 57 years old, locked up yet again, hopeless outlook on the future and sick from the absence of drugs. I pleaded into Drug Court and was ordered to the Damascus House. I followed directions, found a support system and paid attention for once in my life. I am now 3 years drug free, working and assuming responsibilities of a husband, father and grandfather. T.B.”

“The Damascus House showed me what a healthy family looks like. Corey”

“I have been at the Damascus House for about 4 months and have 5 months clean and sober. The counselors and staff has been so helpful and guiding to get myself back on my feet. Also, the structure has been what I really needed to become more accountable and reliable. I would recommend anyone needing drug treatment to this house.”
