Before coming to Grandview, I lived in an alley in Los Angeles. I had lost all contact with my family, I was in and out of the system, and nothing in my life was stable or consistent. I was lost, confused, and without hope. I had tried to get clean on my own free will, but that would last about two weeks. I didn’t know that there were treatment places for people without insurance, and I had no idea what Medi-Cal was, but someone I knew suggested that I call Grandview as it  had helped them get sober.

​I called for about two weeks and finally got a call from Grandview’s intake to come in for an assessment. When I walked through the front door, I felt scared; I was scared that my life was going to change, and I didn’t know what to expect. I had never been to treatment before, so the unknown was terrifying.

I’ve not looked back one time since that first day – my life is worth living! I’ve stayed close to the fellowship that I found at Grandview.
