In Her Words: The Path to Recovery TESTIMONIAL

“I arrived here in the valley hopeless and full of shame, certain that no person or place could ever help me. Thirty days later, I can wholeheartedly say that I found myself in a safe, secure, nurturing home—a place like none I have ever felt in my life. I am surrounded by staff and housemates who show me unconditional support and have taught me what love and true belonging really mean. I’m now 68 days sober, and continue to gather the tools, support, and healing offered by Momenta Recovery. I finally feel secure with this foundation for recovery, which I never thought possible for someone like me.” — “JC,” March 2019
