Success Stories
Layla
Layla lost her 24-year marriage to a heroin overdose at the age of 48. The mother of three decided it was time to address her own meth addiction after she could no longer support herself on her husband's pension and realized she weighed just 92 pounds. She attended classes and obtained her degree as a health aide while enrolled in the Moisette Outpatient (MMTP) treatment program. She also took steps to overcome her 12-year heroin addiction. Layla has been sober for more than four years. She works and hopes to move back in with her kids after getting her own apartment.
Brian
Sitting in the shelter for six weeks with a broken wrist, he had nothing but time to focus on his life and treatment. Several years after completing the program, Brian overcame his addiction, he went back to work. Through a series of promotions and successes, he eventually served as the Supervisor.
Kathy
Kathy was among the initial individuals to enter Moisette. Even though Kathy had a luxurious upbringing in a lovely, secure environment with active parental engagement, she started experimenting with drugs and alcohol in her late teens. Her use of drugs to cope with the stress and hardships of her circumstances—which included losing her spouse, family, and job—during her seven-year military career and her transition to civilian life included substance abuse. She had stability and a safe place to confront her addiction and experiences because of Moisette.
Miguel
Miguel was facing addiction. "Without Moisette I couldn't have accomplished my life now" he stated. "I want to stay out of trouble and never go back" Miguel enrolled in GED classes as part of his rehabilitation at Moisette. He had the highest GED score of any Moisette graduate and was the class valedictorian. After completing a twelve-month car body technician school, he also obtained employment.
