“The Damascus House showed me what a healthy family looks like. Corey”

“I entered the Damascus House in May, 2000 and brought with me a 30 year history of drug abuse and numerous drug related incarcerations. During my time there, I finally learned to live life as a responsible human being and have not found it necessary to use drugs, be unemployed or homeless, nor a missing family member since then. Thank you Damascus House!”   John W.

“I have been at the Damascus House for about 4 months and have 5 months clean and sober. The counselors and staff has been so helpful and guiding to get myself back on my feet. Also, the structure has been what I really needed to become more accountable and reliable. I would recommend anyone needing drug treatment to this house.”

~ Nelson L.

“I thought I was unlike all the others because I sniffed, instead of shooting heroin, I still had my home, not as many incarcerations and I dressed nicer. I didn’t take my Program seriously and went back out to lose everything that made me unique. After a year of unbelievable suffering and many more incarcerations, I was given the Grace to return to the Damascus House and because I wasn’t judged for my previous behaviors here, I am grateful and I am coming to believe. Gee”

“I was 57 years old, locked up yet again, hopeless outlook on the future and sick from the absence of drugs. I pleaded into Drug Court and was ordered to the Damascus House. I followed directions, found a support system and paid attention for once in my life. I am now 3 years drug free, working and assuming responsibilities of a husband, father and grandfather. T.B.”
