Description

I've known Terra for a long time. She was one of the people that came before me in my areas recovery community and kept the door open for me until I decided to show up. 

During her time clean, she's gone through some tough stuff - some for better and some fore worse; from going to graduate school losing her father (I've got a soft spot for Dads),  but she always seems to keep her recovery at the forefront. 

To me, what best captures Terra's experience is a work story. 

We work at the same treatment center and were fortunate enough to open a new facility recently in a community we have not served for some time. It always feels good to be able to offer a solution to people that want it, and I believe individuals should be able to access treatment where they live. After about a years' worth of work - the day was here, the ribbon cutting. We were going to open to clients the following Monday. 

We had staff and community members there to celebrate with us and wish our initiative well. Terra also had some extra support of her own, members of her family who were very excited about their loved ones accomplishment, as she had been names the Director of the facility. Her mom told her something along the lines of, "I've taken you to different treatment places to get help, I definitely wasn't going to miss you opening one." 

Treatment Works. 

We recover.
