Testimonials
"I was afraid to use medication-assisted treatment because lots of sober homes won’t let you in if you are using methadone. But, after multiple heroin relapses and a couple of overdoses, I decided to give methadone a try. While in residential treatment, I started going to 4D with my mentor and I learned that 4D’s Recovery House welcomes people on methadone so I moved in. I now feel like I am starting to make real progress in my life."
-Former 4D client and resident
“4D showed me how to accept myself by accepting me when I first came into the rooms. No judgment, no shame, no guilt–just pure love and acceptance. They made me feel at home and that I was ok to have hope again.”
- Former 4D Client
