When Cassie was 17, she became addicted to pain pills and finally made it to her first clinic at age 20. That was nearly a decade ago. Despite nonstop effort and trying over a dozen different clinics, she was never entirely successful in her recovery, or weaning off her treatment medicine. Everywhere she went, she encountered a "pay for more and more medicine" mentality, with little focus on ever easing off treatment. Where money was valued over the patient. While in one of these clinics, she became pregnant. Because of some of the medicine she was prescribed, when the time came to give birth, her child was sick for two months after and she lost custody for a period of time. When she got pregnant again, she couldn’t entertain the idea of losing a kid again. And this time, likely both. So she called around to countless clinics to see who would take her off the medicine before she had the baby. Nowhere would. Except FM Healing Center. And they did. And it worked. Through a combination of their treatment and therapy, she was able to recognize many of the issues and triggers that led to her addiction and begin to cope with them. And when the baby came, she came healthy and happy, with no issues. A perfect newborn. With her children by her side, Cassie now aspires to go back to school and make something with her new life. She only wishes she hadn’t waited quite so long. Do you know somebody pregnant in desperate need of help? Give us a call at FM Healing Center and schedule an appointment.

KY Helping Hands: Success Stories John's Story John Coyle was a teenager when he started using drugs. At 16, he was addicted to methamphetamine, heroin, or anything else he could get his hands on. Anything to get a fix. He ended up as a transient, hopping from couch to couch, with no steady employment to rely on, no home to call his home and never certain when or if the next meal would come. So much in his life was uncertain, but one thing was abundantly clear: something had to change, and fast. John was desperate to make that change and get clean but saw no means of doing so. Exhausted with his addicted lifestyle, he sought solutions at local clinics, where suboxone was prescribed in excess for years. It was only when his cousin started seeing results at a different organization that John found his path forward to recovery. That organization was KY Helping Hands. Their partner clinics had successfully weaned John’s cousin off her suboxone dependency. And John knew if she could get better, if there was a way out there for him to get better, he had to try. Through a combination of treatment and therapy, KY Helping Hands helped John battle his addiction and learn the skills to lead a normal, happy, healthy life once again. But their program extended past immediate recovery. A certified mechanic, John had been unable to find work for years due to his complicated past. A stint in prison lost him all of his tools, preventing him from even pursuing self-employment. When KY Helping Hands discovered this, they wrote a check to John to purchase new tools and truly begin living again. Within a week, John had transformed that investment into a profit and has worked every day since. One decision – to get clean – had a rippling effect across all of John’s life. In addition to healthier living, employment, and improved relationships, he recently learned he is soon to be a father. These positive changes have emboldened John to dream again and aim for more. He is currently working on evolving his new homebound auto business into a mobile mechanic, where he can travel to those in need of his services and bring his expertise to them, whether broken down on the side of the road or stuck in the driveway at home. Where he was once broken, he is now fixing problems for others. And ultimately, he hopes to give back and help others struggling like he was by offering employment to those who need it most. To teach them a skill and give them newfound purpose outside a life of addiction. And you can help! Your continued support of KY Helping Hands makes stories like John’s possible.

KY Helping Hands: Success Stories Kayla’s Story When Kayla first discovered she was pregnant, she had never been to a clinic. She was fighting a heroin addiction two years in the making, and with the help of her boyfriend she had some success, by sharing his own suboxone prescriptions. Hard times came to pass, as they often do, and when he could no longer afford to attend his clinic, they both fell back into using once again. Helpless to fight what they were desperate to quit, they hurt their relationship in the process. It all felt out of their control. Then one day, everything changed. Kayla’s pregnancy was a stark wakeup call. Immediately, she completely stopped all her substances. The withdrawals quickly took their toll, and she fell ill. She knew she had to get to a clinic as quickly as possible if she had any chance of overcoming her addiction and protecting her unborn child. That’s where KY Helping Hands came in. Kayla had one critical goal: to give birth to a healthy, normal baby. Nine months later, she was greeted by a beautiful, healthy little girl, with little to no symptoms. Six pounds, 11 ounces, and 20 3/4 inches long. Over the course of her treatment, Kayla improved mentally and physically. KY Helping Hands was able to help remove some barriers to her recovery, including finding her an apartment. Where she once was homeless, she now had a home. Where she once saw dead ends, she now saw only opportunities. Sadly, Kayla’s situation is not unique. And her recovery, and many others like her, is only possible with your continued support.
