“I arrived at SouthLight with my 2-year-old son certain of one thing…I could not continue to live my life the way I had been. I was able to focus on learning the necessary skills needed to be successful in recovery. Three years later I am still implementing the skills I learned in group. I have been able to successfully gain and maintain employment, secure housing and become the mother, daughter and sister my family deserves.”
