After almost 10 years of heavy methamphetamine use and several years of Xanax and antipsychotic prescriptions, I hit rock bottom. Something had to be done if I wanted to live any longer. My family and I researched detox programs around the country for months before I decided to become a resident at the Alternative to Meds Center program in Sedona, AZ. I arrived at ATMC on June 12, 2010, with a skeptical mind set of being able to become medication free 100%. Medications and street drugs had been such a huge part of my life I didn’t know how to live without them. That was where my mind was at the beginning of the ATMC detox program. I am now 100% medication and drug free and have been for a few months, with no desire to use again. The ATMC program not only saved my life, it allowed me to appreciate life again for the first time in years. So many aspects of the ATMC program played a part in my successful recovery. From the caring, knowledgeable staff making sure I got the right supplements each day, to the organic meals and hours sweating out many toxins, I am very grateful I had the courage to walk through the ATMC doors in the beginning. During my 8 weeks as an ATMC resident I became educated on how toxic of a world we live in and learned a healthier, more natural way to live, resulting in a happier more fulfilling lifestyle to look forward to in my many years to come. Thanks to everyone involved with the Alternative to Meds Center, may your program continue to be a success in improving people’s lives, one by one.
